How much does a $70k hire actually cost?
A $70K salary might look straightforward on paper. But once you factor in employer taxes, statutory benefits, payroll, and country-specific employment costs, that number can skyrocket.
And those costs can vary significantly depending on where your employee is based. So before you build your hiring budget, check out Oyster's Global Hiring Cost Calculator.
The calculator can help you see the full picture by letting you compare employment costs across 120 countries and estimate what a hire could really cost your business. And unlike that new hire, it’s actually 100% free.
Hey {{first_name}},
We pulled this week's content trends across every niche we track, and two formats kept showing up on business accounts.
Different niches, different followings… all running the same play.
A format you can film this afternoon beats any single viral video you can't repeat.
Steal both. 👇
format 1: the beat-drop reveal
What it is: 5 seconds of a plain "before" with one line on screen in quotes… then a hard cut right on the beat drop into the payoff.
No talking. The cut does ALL the work.

"MAYBE I SHOULD MAKE ENGAGEMENT RINGS"
Her angle: 5 seconds of her at the bench, filmed from behind… then on the drop, 8 finished rings, one per beat.

"Time to heal this house from its millennial gray era..."
Her angle: flat, gray, empty rooms… then the same rooms redone dark and moody, one per beat. The caption sells: "Comment SHOP for the affordable luxury products in my home."

"Is he eating that all by himself???"
Their angle: a guy alone outside the bakery working through a giant chocolate cake… then close-ups of the cake on the drop.
Build or buy your support agent? Both skip the number.
Buying or building your customer service agent both carry a cost the pitch skips: maintenance if you build, flexibility if you buy. Running Agents in Customer Work is four conversations on agentic AI in customer ops, this one on build vs. buy. Register now, four Tuesdays, 10 a.m. PT.
Why it works: the quote marks make the line read like something someone actually said… and the cut on the drop answers it.
A jeweler, an interior designer and a bakery. Same two shots, millions of views each.
You don't need a script. You need a "before" and a beat drop.
Steal it:
1. film 5 seconds of your "before": the workbench, the empty room, the closed box 2. one line on screen, in quotes, in your customer's words 3. hard cut on the beat drop 4. the payoff, one shot per beat
Sound: tap the sound on any video above and use that one.
→ Test it today: film 5 seconds of your plainest "before" and 6 shots of the finished thing.
format 2: the snap
What it is: you're asleep while the boring options cycle on screen… then YOUR option cuts off mid-word, your eyes snap open, and you're gone.
It runs on "Trndsttr - Lucian Remix" by Black Coast and a clip of model Sean O'Pry snapping his fingers (an old meme that's back).
🎥 @themarketinginternss · 1.1M views · ▶ watch
"chat gpt" / "grok" / "gemini" / "claude"
Their angle: 4 guys asleep on a couch through ChatGPT, Grok and Gemini… on "claude" they jump up, snap, and march off to their laptops.
🎥 @notfromco · 10.7M views · ▶ watch
"Lets play Fortnite" / "Lets play Minecraft" / "Lets play Warzone" / "Lets play Roblox horr-"
His angle: his eyes open on "Roblox horr-"… the snap, the Sean O'Pry clip, then straight to the gaming PC.
🎥 @trevorlarcom · 1.4M views · ▶ watch
"Lets hit chest" / "Lets hit back" / "Lets hit arm-"
His angle: wakes up on arm day, grabs his bag, and scans into his gym.
Why it works: the list builds the boredom, the cut-off word is the punchline, and the snap is a meme people already know.
So your product shows up as the one thing worth waking up for.
The word that gets cut off is the one you're selling.
Steal it:
1. lie still, eyes shut 2. on screen, cycle 3 boring options in quotes 3. your product's name cuts off mid-word 4. eyes open, snap, the Sean O'Pry clip, then run straight to your product
→ Test it today: swap the 3 boring options for what your customers use before they find you.
turn both into shot lists with Claude
Paste this into Claude and fill in the two brackets:
Here are 2 TikTok formats going viral right now: 1. Beat-drop reveal: 5 seconds of a plain "before" with one line on screen in quotes, a hard cut on the beat drop, then the payoff one shot per beat. 2. The snap: I'm asleep while 3 boring options cycle on screen in quotes, my product's name cuts off mid-word, my eyes open, I snap, I run to it. My niche: [my niche, in one line] My product: [what I sell] Write 3 versions of each: the on-screen text word for word, plus a shot list I can film on my phone today.
Both formats were sitting in the outlier videos this week… and new ones land every day.
btw i drop sauce like this every day on X and LinkedIn.
