Systematize viral content creation through combinatorial testing of modular components
Instead of creating one-off videos hoping for virality, create batches of modular content components (hooks, main parts, endings) and systematically combine them. For example, 3 hooks × 5 main parts × 3 endings = 45 unique videos. Test all combinations, identify winning patterns, then remake successful concepts repeatedly.
When to use
When building organic content distribution strategy for short-form platforms. Especially when you have a content creator partner or team. After you've validated the channel works with initial manual tests.
Don't do this
Creating unique one-off videos without systematic testing. Treating content as art rather than science. Giving up after a few videos don't go viral instead of running volume tests.

Created 'POV: you have an essay due' series where 80% remained identical (realization + running to Jenny AI), varying only the first 10 seconds (sleeping vs walking dog vs at restaurant). Posted 2x/week for 6 months using this modular approach
