Okay so everyone's asking what makes this "Tara" ad print money... Let me break down why this native image ad would absolutely crush (and why most of you are copying it wrong) The hook doesn't sell anything. "Hi, I'm Tara, and I hate going to the gym." That's it. No promise. No hype. Just pure relatability. She lists the failures: vegan diets, fat-burning pills, all the garbage people already tried. You're nodding along because you've been there. The photo isn't polished. It's dated (05/10/24). Real person, real body, real struggle. The "i hate the way i look" overlay hits different when there's actual vulnerability instead of fake before/after pics. Your brain knows this is genuine in 0.5 seconds. Then the ad cuts off mid-sentence. "...see more" You're already invested in Tara's story. She tried everything and failed. Now you need to know what worked. That's how you create a curiosity gap that actually converts. Here's why it works: The target sees themselves. Not some fitness influencer with abs, but someone who genuinely struggled. The "Big Tummy" emoji creates self-selection. Wrong people scroll past. Right people stop and think "that's literally me." The format looks like a personal Facebook post from someone you know. Profile pic, barely noticeable "Sponsored" tag, casual photo. Doesn't scream AD even though it obviously is. That's native advertising done right. But here's the thing most people miss... This ad only prints if the landing page matches. If you're sending traffic to a quiz funnel or Advertorial that continues Tara's voice and story, you'll make bank. If you dump people on a generic sales page with different messaging, your conversion rate dies. The formula: relatable struggle + specific failures + vulnerable authenticity + strategic incompleteness = high CTR Stop copying the surface level stuff. Understand why the elements work together. Q4's here. Time to print.

Most gaming videos flop because they’re just raw gameplay. Want people to actually watch? Editing is the game changer. Cut the boring parts, no 10-minute tree punching. Fast pacing keeps energy high. Sound design makes your world feel alive..

Did a little something on DaVinci Resolve. What do you think?

A supplement brand came to me with a problem. Their ads looked professional, got compliments, but ROAS was trash. I made one edit. Didn't add anything. Just removed 8 frames. ROAS went from 1.8 to 2.5. Here's what happened: The ad was for a sleep supplement. Good product, solid testimonials, decent hook. But there was a 0.4 second pause between the hook and the product reveal. Just long enough for your brain to get bored and keep scrolling. That pause existed because the editor (not me, this was before they hired me) wanted a "moment to let the hook sink in." Sounds smart in theory. In practice? It's a conversion killer. When someone's scrolling, you can't give them time to think. You need to pull them forward constantly. I cut those 8 frames. The hook ("Can't sleep? This changed my life") now flowed directly into the product shot with zero gap. Tested it for 3 days. CTR went from 1.1% to 1.9%. More importantly, the people who clicked actually converted. Here's why it worked: The pause was creating a micro-decision point. Viewers had a split second to ask themselves "do I care about this?" And when you give someone that moment, most of them decide no. Remove the pause, remove the decision point. After that, I went through the rest of the ad and found 4 more spots where there were tiny gaps between actions. Each one was less than half a second. Cut all of them. The ad went from 24 seconds to 22 seconds and performed way better. Most editors think pauses create emphasis. And yeah, in a YouTube video or a film, that's true. But in a paid ad where someone's one thumb-flick away from scrolling? Pauses are just opportunities to lose viewers. The brand kept everything else the same. Same footage, same script, same music, same CTA. The only difference was removing dead air. And that was enough to make the ad profitable when it wasn't before. If your ads look good but aren't converting, the problem might not be your creative concept. It might just be that your editor is leaving in pauses that feel natural but kill performance. Watch your ads at 0.5x speed. You'll see the gaps. Want me to check your ad for momentum killers?

Sound design is one of the most overlooked aspects of editing. Adding subtle sound effects, whooshes, and bass boosts can enhance impact and keep your audience immersed. Even small sounds like footsteps or UI clicks can make a big difference. Don't let your edit feel empty!
