🧠 HOW TO GET VIEWS (Even If You Have Zero Results) - from my Mentor JOSH!👇🏽

**7 Tips For Using “Information Gaps” In Your Content**

Let’s destroy a common myth:

You don’t need proof to get attention. You need curiosity.

If you’re new to content creation and don’t have a bunch of wins to share yet, this post is for you.

Here’s how to use the information gap method to get people watching, clicking, and following — even if you’re just getting started.

✅ 1. Use Curiosity, Not Credentials

Most people open with, “I’ve been doing this for 6 months...” But that doesn’t make people curious.

This does:

“Nobody talks about this, but it’s why most beginners never grow.”

You're not positioning as an expert — you're opening a loop your audience wants to close.

✅ 2. Document > Teach

If you're learning, don’t pretend to be the teacher. Be the student who shares.

Examples:

“I’m 7 days into a 30-day content challenge — here’s what I’ve learned so far.”

“I’m testing this Instagram strategy from someone with 500k followers. Will it work for a beginner?”

Let people follow your journey — that’s what builds trust.

✅ 3. Borrow Proof From Others

If you don’t have results yet, highlight someone else’s success — and break it down.

Examples:

“This guy went from 0 to 50K followers in 90 days. Here’s what I noticed in his content...”

“She made $20K from a 5-day challenge — this is the hook she used.”

You create belief by showing what’s possible.

✅ 4. Ask Open-Loop Questions

Questions create mental tension — the information gap in action.

Examples:

“What happens if I post daily for 90 days straight?”

“Does this side hustle actually work in 2025?”

“Can you grow without showing your face?”

You don’t need answers — you need curiosity.

✅ 5. Share What You’re Curious About

Instead of posting “tips,” just say what’s on your mind.

Examples:

“I’ve been wondering why some faceless accounts grow faster than personal brands…”

“Why does short-form content hit harder than long-form now?”

“How are people making $10K/month without showing up every day?”

This is how you become relatable — and real.

✅ 6. Confess Something Relatable

When you’re honest about your struggle, people lean in.

Examples:

“I’ve had 17 posts flop in a row. Still showing up.”

“I spent the last 3 months planning instead of posting — that changes now.”

“I was afraid to post without proof… then I realized: proof comes after action.”

The more real you are, the more attention you get.

✅ 7. Stack Hooks for More Engagement

Stretch the curiosity across multiple lines or slides.

Example Reel/Carousel:

“This 3-second trick got me 2x more views.”
“Most people don’t know this exists…”
“But it changes everything if you’re just starting out.”

That’s how you keep attention. And attention = growth.

⚡ STARTER TEMPLATE:

If you want to make your first few posts using this style, copy this format:

Hook: “Nobody talks about this, but…”

Story: “I’ve been struggling with ___ so I tried ___”

Curiosity Gap: “Here’s what happened after 7 days…”

CTA: “I’m sharing the journey — follow if you’re testing this too.”
