How this pattern works

Follow these 3 core steps to execute the pattern perfectly.

Step 1 · The Divisive Hook

Pick your fight

Lead with a statement that instantly splits your audience.

Step 2 · The Double Down

Step 3 · The Comment Bait

Invite the debate

End with a direct challenge that practically forces engagement.
