The "Steal This" Hook

Psychological trigger: Generosity
The formula
Steal my [system / template] for [result].
Why it works

Offering something valuable for free lowers the guard and triggers reciprocity, so people save and act because the value is concrete and the ask is zero.

Based on: Value-first / lead-magnet copy + the reciprocity principle.
