I almost shut it down in month 3. Nothing was working. I’d spent weeks scraping post data from top creators. Reverse engineering frameworks. Testing UX flows that fell flat. Writing code at 2AM. It felt like I was building in the dark, whispering into a void. But there was this one night, I remember it clearly, I was sitting alone, surrounded by coffee cups and failed UI drafts, when I told myself: "You either build the tool creators actually need or walk away." So I doubled down. → Analyzed 100,000+ viral posts → Collected data from thousands of creators → Rebuilt the engine to make every output feel human, not generic And we finally launched something that felt right. Last week, we hit our first real milestone: 400+ creators now using Depost AI That number might seem small. But for me, it means: • Months of doubt didn’t win • Every late night mattered • That one decision changed everything We’re still early.  But now there’s momentum.  Belief. Feedback.  Usage. And the best part? Creators are telling us: “It finally sounds like me.” We’re building more than a tool. We’re building a new way to show up online. Without sounding like everyone else. This is just the beginning. Let’s keep building. P.S. What’s one moment you almost quit… but didn’t? I’d love to hear yours.

You stayed when it got hard - most people don’t. That’s everything.

That near-quit moment often forces the vital pivot from building what you think users need to what they truly demand.
Stop writing boring hooks. Do this instead. (5 formulas to make your hooks irresistible) 90% of your post’s success is decided here. Hooks aren’t luck; they’re science. What if your hooks could stop the scroll every time? After studying top viral posts, Here’s the truth. I’ve tested every hook style: → Long hooks. → Short hooks. → Stats, stories, quotes. These 5 formulas always win: → How I… (“How I 10X’d my salary in 6 months.”) → How To… (“How to fix boring hooks in 30 seconds.”) → Start a Story (“I almost quit LinkedIn. Then THIS happened…”) → Quote (“Gary Vee said . Here’s why he’s right.”) → Statistic (“92% of posts fail here. Don’t be them.”) 20 Power Words to Borrow: → Fear/Urgency: “Warning,” “Do Not,” “Last Chance.” → Authority: “Proven,” “10X,” “Secrets.” → Curiosity: “Rare,” “Nobody Tells You,” “Behind the Scenes.” Formatting Hacks to Avoid the “See More” Cutoff: → Spacing: [Line-Gap-Line] > [Line-Line-Line]. → Length: Line 1 & 2: ≤62 characters (fits mobile!) → Line 3: ≤50 characters (no spillover!) → Keep It Simple: No emojis. No bold. Just curiosity. BONUS: → 10 Done-For-You Templates (e.g., “The #1 mistake [your industry] makes…”) → 7 Creators Who Nail Hooks (steal from Justin Welsh, Lara Acosta, etc.) 🚨 PS: Organic growth is still possible, but only if you stand out. Use these hooks now or get buried later. 👇 Comment “HOOKS” and I’ll send you the PDF version! (Or follow Yaser for more cheat sheets.) PPS: Hate writing hooks? I use Depost AI to generate 5 viral hooks in 1 click (link in comments). I use it daily to crush writer’s block. 👇 “HOOK ME” for the free cheat sheet.

Want more engagement on LinkedIn? (Most people overcomplicate LinkedIn.) After analyzing 400+ viral posts, I found the winning formulas. Here they are - with examples: 1. The Awareness Post Goal: Stop scrollers with a thought-provoking hook ↳ Formula: "If you can work 8 hours for someone else's dream... you can spend 60 minutes on yours." ↳ Uses contrast + calls out a universal truth 2. The Personal Story Post Goal: Build connection through vulnerability My exact structure: ↳ Hook: "I almost quit my business last year..." ↳ Struggle: "80-hour weeks, zero freedom" ↳ Turning Point: "Then I tried..." ↳ Results: "Doubled revenue in 3 months" ↳ Lesson: "Burnout isn't required for success" 3. The Education Post ↳ Goal: Position yourself as an expert ↳ Pro Tip: Teach ONE actionable concept per post ↳ Example: "3 Hiring Mistakes That Cost Me $50K" 4. The Conversion Post ↳ Goal: Turn followers into clients ↳ Magic Ingredients: ↳ Customer success story ↳ Specific results ("Increased conversions by 200%") "This could be you" implication 5. The "How We Do It" Post ↳ Goal: Showcase your unique methodology ↳ Example Framework: ↳ Problem most miss ↳ Our unusual approach ↳ Why it works (data/story) Want the full breakdown? 🔗Swipe the carousel for templates, visuals, and my free Business Strategy Checklist 💬 Which format will you try first?
