Here’s a quick look:

Here are some of the key elements that make this ad work:

👉 Curiosity-Driven Hook (“Why is Amazon paying me $63,000 a month?”)

👉 New Opportunity Framing (Pairing Amazon with AI—no selling required)

👉 Authority Transfer (Introduces Carla as the expert)

👉 Polarizing Callout (“If you love face-to-face selling, don’t click on this ad”)

👉 Social Proof & Testimonials (Real people sharing their earnings)

👉 Clear CTA & Scarcity (“Click now—this workshop won’t be free forever”)

In VidTao, you can find ALL of this advertiser’s ads + all the relevant stats! Here’s a sneak peek:

 🥇American Hartford Gold Ad With $2.1M in AdSpend

Our next pick for this week is the ad by the American Hartford Gold we found inside VidTao:

Here are some of the elements this ad consists of:

👉 Urgent, Fear-Based Hook ("99% of people with an IRA or 401k will not see this video—and that would be a tragedy.") – Creates a strong FOMO

👉 High-Stakes Political Angle – Frames government policies as a direct threat to retirement savings.

👉 Emotional Appeal – Uses "catastrophic implications" and "massive tax hikes" to trigger anxiety.

👉 Authority & Credibility – References Forbes, past government policies, and economic trends to build trust.
