Why it works

• Every title promises a cheap trick, using 'Watch What Happens' in 2 of 3 and 'Black Grandmothers Swear By' in all 3
• The persona has a detailed backstory (seven people, one paycheck, church cooking) repeated in the about text and in videos
• Thumbnails are consistent: same face and apron, large 2-3 word text, a prop in hand
• The hair grease video has 753 views against 87 and 21 for the other two, so the hair topic drew the most views so far
• Each video ends with a comment prompt about what viewers' families used, and a teaser for the next video
