if the rest gets read.

Challenge a common belief or ask a question the reader cannot ignore. Works well on LinkedIn and X.
Number and mistake
Promise a specific, useful list or flag a mistake. Great for how-to posts, carousels and blog intros.
Story and curiosity
Open a loop the reader wants to close. Strong for video and personal posts.
Hooks: common questions.
What is a hook?
A hook is the first line of a post, video or article. Its only job is to make people stop scrolling and read or watch the next line.
What makes a hook work?
Good hooks create a gap the reader wants to close: a surprising claim, a specific number, a mistake they might be making or the start of a story. They also signal who the content is for.
How long should a hook be?
One sentence. On LinkedIn, aim to fit it before the see more cut-off. In video, it should take two or three seconds to say.
Are these hooks clickbait?
Only if the content does not deliver. Use a hook that matches what you actually share. A strong hook with a weak post loses trust fast.

Yes. It runs in your browser with 26 proven hook formulas across six styles, with no signup and no limit.
