Module 1. The format: the anonymous Someone story reel

This is the one format the whole page runs on. One real story about a person you never name, a dollar figure in the first breath, proof on screen with your finger on the number, a plain-English explanation, and a one-sentence call to comment a keyword. You learn the seven beats, the two camera modes, the banner rules and the 3 words per second timing so every reel you make is the same shape.

1Understand why the format works before you copy it
2Learn the seven beats and their timing
3Time every line at 3 words per second
4Use only two camera values: SCREEN and FACE
5Build the proof page shot (CROP THE TOP)

Module 2. Hook formulas: 16 templates that start with Someone and a number

The hook is the first four seconds and it decides whether anyone sees beat 1. Here are 16 fill-in templates, each with the spoken line and the banner, all built on the one rule that never changes: open with Someone and land the number in the same breath. You also get the research behind why number-first and curiosity-gap hooks hold attention, and a Claude prompt that turns any source story into 10 hook options you can pick from.

1Know the three things every hook must do
2Templates 1 to 4: the money transformation
3Templates 5 to 8: the cost killer
4Templates 9 to 12: the free tool and the number that proves it
5Templates 13 to 16: the shock line with a number attached
6Match the hook to the proof you can show
7Write 10 hooks, pick 1, test the rest as trial reels

Module 3. Writing a script in 20 minutes

A fixed step list that takes a source story to a filmable script in 20 minutes: verify, hook, beats, cameras, banners, timing, read-aloud pass. You get a complete example script with every beat, banner and camera value, and the Claude prompt that drafts the whole thing in the house format so you only edit.

1Minute 0 to 4: verify the source
2Minute 4 to 7: pick the hook and the keyword
3Minute 7 to 13: draft the beats with the Claude prompt
4Minute 13 to 16: time it
5Minute 16 to 19: the read-aloud pass
6Minute 19 to 20: write the CTA and lock the script
7Study the full example script (keyword AUDIT)

Tools: Claude, Zapier Zap History export (the example's free tool), Apple Notes or Google Docs, Instagram Reels specs

Module 4. Filming and editing on a phone

The exact setup: one phone to film, a laptop or second screen for the proof pages, CapCut for the cut, word-by-word captions, banners inside the safe zone, and music low under your voice. Nothing here needs a camera, a mic or a paid plan. You also get the current pricing on CapCut, Descript and ElevenLabs so you know what you are not paying for, and the free stock and sound sources that are safe to use.

1Set up the two shots
2Record the voice
3Build the timeline in CapCut
4Add the banners
5Add word-by-word captions
6Music rules
7Add B-roll only from free, safe sources
8Export clean

Module 5. Carousel templates: the save machine

Carousels are the format people save, and saves are a top-tier ranking signal. You get three layouts that match the reel format (the receipt, the step list, the tool stack), the 10-slide structure, the exact Canva steps at 1080 by 1350, and the caption that turns the last slide into a keyword comment. Post one carousel for every two or three reels.

Module 6. The comment-to-DM funnel

This is how a comment turns into a follower, a DM and a guide visit without you touching the phone. You set up ManyChat click by click: the keyword trigger, the public reply that asks for the follow, the one private DM that carries real value, and the guide link in the /guide/KEYWORD format. You also learn Meta's actual rules (one private reply per comment, 7 days, the 24 hour window) so the automation never gets your account restricted.

1Understand what Meta allows
2Understand the follow friction and why the public reply fixes it
3Set up ManyChat and connect Instagram
4Build the automation, click by click
5Write the one DM that carries the value
6Create the guide page at /guide/KEYWORD
7Test before the reel goes live
8Point the bio at the funnel

Module 7. The caption system

The caption does four jobs: restate the hook so the muted scroller gets it, list the breakdown so it earns saves, carry the keyword so the funnel fires, and hold the lines that keep you legal. Here is the fixed structure, the 125 character rule, the 3 to 5 hashtags that matter, and exactly what the FTC and Meta require you to say when money or a brand is involved.

1Learn the fixed structure
2Respect the 125 character rule
3Write the keyword CTA twice
4Use 3 to 5 hashtags that describe the topic
5Put the disclosure where the FTC says it goes
6Add Meta's paid partnership label when a brand is involved
7Add the risk line on trading topics and the AI label on AI media

Tools: FTC: Disclosures 101 for Social Media Influencers, Instagram branded content and paid partnership label (Help), Later: branded content ads walkthrough, Caption character limit guide (Growthscribe), Claude

Full steps, prompts and settings unlock with the product.

Module 8. Research and daily rhythm

The page lives or dies on a steady feed of true stories with numbers. You build an X list of the accounts that break AI and money stories, scrape competitor reels with Apify to see what already works, run a 30 minute daily routine, and track the five numbers that matter. The posting cadence here is backed by the two biggest 2025 and 2026 datasets.

1Build the source feed on X
2Scrape competitor reels with Apify
3Pick outliers with the five filters
4Run the daily 30 minute routine
5Post at the cadence the data supports
6Track five numbers, not twenty
7Keep the account safe while you grow

Tools: Apify Instagram Scraper, Apify pricing, GitHub Trending, Buffer: how often to post on Instagram (2 million post study), Metricool and HypeAuditor 2025 Instagram Content Playbook, Instagram Insights

Full steps, prompts and settings unlock with the product.

This product teaches a content format, not an investment. Many of the stories you will tell are about trading bots, memecoins and prediction markets, so every reel and caption on those topics carries this line, word for word: Most people lose money trading. Only risk money you can afford to lose. This is not financial advice. Never post a dollar figure you did not verify on the original page, never speak in first person about something you did not build, and never send a repo or tool in a DM that you have not opened and read, because a bad link in your DM becomes your problem. Label AI voices and realistic AI video with Instagram's AI label; disclose any paid, gifted or affiliate relationship in the reel itself, in the caption and with the paid partnership label; and use clear words (ad, sponsored, paid partnership, commission). Do not use burner accounts, comment fights, re-share pods, deepfakes or voice clones of real people. Never ask anyone for a seed phrase or a password, and never take custody of anyone's money or keys. Growth numbers quoted from other creators in this guide are their own self-reported figures, not promises. Results depend on your stories, your consistency and your honesty.

Questions

Do I have to show my face?

The format alternates FACE and SCREEN beats, and the FACE beats are where trust comes from. If you really cannot, you can replace FACE beats with a SCREEN shot of your hands and a notepad, or with your own voice over the proof page, but keep the camera alternating so there is never a long run of one look. Do not use an AI avatar of a real person, and if you use an AI voice, label it.

Is ManyChat still free?

Yes, but smaller than the old guides say. Since March 2, 2026 the Free plan is 25 active contacts a month (people who send or receive a DM that month) and 4 live automations. One reel that gets a few hundred keyword comments will push you to Essential ($17 a month, 250 contacts) or Pro ($39 a month, 2,500 contacts) as of Oct 2026. Treat it as the cost of the funnel and check manychat.com/pricing before you commit, because existing accounts move to the new plans gradually.

Why does the public reply ask people to follow?

Instagram puts DMs from accounts a person does not follow into their Message Requests folder, and many people never open it. The line follow so Instagram lets it through is true, it is short, and it converts the commenter into a follower in the same tap. You still send the value; you never hold it hostage.

Can I send a second DM later with more stuff?

Not automatically. Meta allows one private reply per comment within 7 days of the comment. You can only send more automated messages if the person replies or taps a button in your DM, and then only inside a 24 hour window from their reply. That is why the single DM carries the real steps and the guide link, and the bio link always points at the guides index.

The story is hot but I cannot verify the number. Can I post it anyway?

No. The hook needs a number and the number needs a live page your finger can touch in beat 1. Repackagers drift numbers and some viral money stories were publicly called scams. Spend four minutes going upstream; if the original is not there, drop the story. There is always another one tomorrow morning on the X list.

How long until this works?

The tutorials behind the playbook show a dead zone first: one creator reported 17 uploads before any reel passed 2,000 views, and another reported their account clicking at month three. Buffer's 2 million post study shows 3 to 5 posts a week roughly doubles growth versus 1 to 2. Post daily, judge the format on 30 posts, and when one breaks out, post more of the same for the next two weeks.

Do I need Descript or ElevenLabs?

No. Your phone, your voice and the free CapCut plan make the whole reel. Descript is a nice-to-have later for editing by deleting words from a transcript (Hobbyist is $24 a month or $16 billed yearly as of Oct 2026). ElevenLabs only matters if you cannot use your own voice; then you need at least Starter (about $6 a month) because the free plan is non-commercial, and you must turn on the AI label on every post.

What goes on the guide page and where does it live?

One page per keyword at yoursite.com/guide/keyword in lowercase. It is the long version of the DM: the story in two lines, the numbered steps with exact clicks and links, the tools with prices, the pitfalls, the source credit, and the risk line if it is a trading topic. Build it before the reel posts so the DM button and the bio link both work on minute one.

Plain English glossary

Beat: One chunk of a reel, usually 4 to 10 seconds, with its own camera shot, banner and spoken line.
Banner: The big ALL CAPS text on screen for one beat. The hook banner always carries the number.
SCREEN and FACE: The only two camera values. SCREEN is a real page filmed with your finger on the number. FACE is you talking to the phone.
Proof page: The real post, repo or profile you film in beat 1, cropped at the top so only the content shows, with your finger on the number.
Hook: The first four seconds. In this format it starts with Someone and lands a number in the same breath.
Keyword: The one word in caps that people comment (AUDIT, REPOS). ManyChat watches for it and sends the DM.
Comment-to-DM: An automation that sends one private message to anyone who comments a keyword on your post. Allowed by Meta when it runs through an approved tool like ManyChat.
Private reply: Meta's name for that one automated DM. One per comment, within 7 days of the comment.
24 hour window: After a person messages you or taps a button, you have 24 hours to send automated replies. Before that, you get only the one private reply.
Active contact: ManyChat's billing unit since March 2026: a person who sends or receives a message through ManyChat in a month.
Safe zone: The part of a 1080 by 1920 reel frame not covered by Instagram's handle, caption and buttons: roughly 270 pixels in from the top, 670 from the bottom, 230 from the right.
Trial reel: A reel shown to non-followers only, turned on with the Trial toggle when posting. Lets you test a second hook without touching your grid.
Carousel: A post with 2 to 20 swipeable slides, best at 1080 by 1350. The format people save.
Material connection: The FTC's term for any money, free product or relationship with a brand you mention. If you have one, you say so, with the endorsement.
Paid partnership label: Instagram's built-in tag that shows Paid partnership under your handle. Required by Meta when a brand gave you value for the post.
