How Marketers Are Mining X for Viral Hooks (Step by Step) | Bathroom Break #123

from The Marketing Millennials · host Daniel Murray

There's a way to pull the most viral posts in your niche in about 10 seconds. But a lot of Marketers don't know it exists.In this Bathroom Break, Jay and Daniel break down how to mine X (formerly Twitter) for viral content you can actually use. Daniel shares the exact Grok prompt he uses to surface trending posts from the last 48 hours. Jay walks through X's advanced search, and the "min_faves" trick that filters for only the posts hitting your engagement threshold. Then they go deeper: filtering by retweets, comments, date ranges, and media type to see exactly which hooks are landing. Plus: a lost loafer mystery, a linen shirt betrayal, and Jay's full descent into his "embarrassing loser phase."If you're a Marketer who wants a repeatable way to find what content actually works, this episode is for YOU.Enjoying Bathroom Break?
