Posts flop? It's your hook, not your insight. (AI fixed mine, tripled engagement) Ever post advice that should go viral but disappears? Here’s the truth: 90% of creators fail with weak hooks. They write for themselves, not the reader. When I reverse-engineered 1,000+ viral posts with AI, everything changed. My engagement tripled. My DMs blew up. Here’s the exact system I use now: Step 1: Ditch “Perfect” Drafts ↳ Brain dump your ideas (typos welcome). ↳ Paste raw thoughts into Depost AI’s editor. ↳ No more paralysis. ↳ Just progress. Step 2: AI Generates “Scroll-Stopping” Hooks ↳ Hit one button → 5 viral hooks appear. Examples: → “The invisible habit costing you 90% of leads…” → “I banned this phrase—clients begged for demos.” AI analyzes trending patterns + human psychology to hijack attention in 2 seconds. Step 3: Test, Tweak, Repeat ↳ Not quite right? ↳ Regenerate. ↳ Found “the one”? ↳ Polish it. Your hook becomes a trapdoor readers can’t resist. Why This Works: Depost AI doesn’t guess—it knows. Trained on 5M+ viral posts, it weaponizes: ✓ Curiosity gaps ✓ Pain-point framing ✓ “Wait, how?” urgency My results since switching: ➤ 3x more comments/shares ➤ Saved 7+ hours weekly (no more hook-agonizing) ➤ Posts now feel like must-reads, not noise Want the cheat code? Depost AI is free (yes, really). 👉 Install the Chrome Extension [Link in comments] Your audience is scrolling. Will they stop for you? 💡 PS – 200+ creators used this last week. One hit 500K views. You’re next. ♻️ Repost to help a creator stuck in the “ghosted posts” cycle.

Agree and I think it's not just about writing insightful content... But equally about getting it read because no one saves brilliance buried under a BORING hook. In my experience, weak posts don’t fail from bad ideas... But mainly they fail because the first line didn’t earn a second glance. Not mastering the hook is like HIDING - understand it and fix it. Great breakdown, I liked it. Yaser Abbass

80 cents out of every advertising dollar is spent on the hook
Stop writing boring hooks. Do this instead. (5 formulas to make your hooks irresistible) 90% of your post’s success is decided here. Hooks aren’t luck; they’re science. What if your hooks could stop the scroll every time? After studying top viral posts, Here’s the truth. I’ve tested every hook style: → Long hooks. → Short hooks. → Stats, stories, quotes. These 5 formulas always win: → How I… (“How I 10X’d my salary in 6 months.”) → How To… (“How to fix boring hooks in 30 seconds.”) → Start a Story (“I almost quit LinkedIn. Then THIS happened…”) → Quote (“Gary Vee said . Here’s why he’s right.”) → Statistic (“92% of posts fail here. Don’t be them.”) 20 Power Words to Borrow: → Fear/Urgency: “Warning,” “Do Not,” “Last Chance.” → Authority: “Proven,” “10X,” “Secrets.” → Curiosity: “Rare,” “Nobody Tells You,” “Behind the Scenes.” Formatting Hacks to Avoid the “See More” Cutoff: → Spacing: [Line-Gap-Line] > [Line-Line-Line]. → Length: Line 1 & 2: ≤62 characters (fits mobile!) → Line 3: ≤50 characters (no spillover!) → Keep It Simple: No emojis. No bold. Just curiosity. BONUS: → 10 Done-For-You Templates (e.g., “The #1 mistake [your industry] makes…”) → 7 Creators Who Nail Hooks (steal from Justin Welsh, Lara Acosta, etc.) 🚨 PS: Organic growth is still possible, but only if you stand out. Use these hooks now or get buried later. 👇 Comment “HOOKS” and I’ll send you the PDF version! (Or follow Yaser for more cheat sheets.) PPS: Hate writing hooks?

Want more engagement on LinkedIn? (Most people overcomplicate LinkedIn.) After analyzing 400+ viral posts, I found the winning formulas. Here they are - with examples: 1. The Awareness Post Goal: Stop scrollers with a thought-provoking hook ↳ Formula: "If you can work 8 hours for someone else's dream... you can spend 60 minutes on yours." ↳ Uses contrast + calls out a universal truth 2. The Personal Story Post Goal: Build connection through vulnerability My exact structure: ↳ Hook: "I almost quit my business last year..." ↳ Struggle: "80-hour weeks, zero freedom" ↳ Turning Point: "Then I tried..." ↳ Results: "Doubled revenue in 3 months" ↳ Lesson: "Burnout isn't required for success" 3. The Education Post ↳ Goal: Position yourself as an expert ↳ Pro Tip: Teach ONE actionable concept per post ↳ Example: "3 Hiring Mistakes That Cost Me $50K" 4. The Conversion Post ↳ Goal: Turn followers into clients ↳ Magic Ingredients: ↳ Customer success story ↳ Specific results ("Increased conversions by 200%") "This could be you" implication 5. The "How We Do It" Post ↳ Goal: Showcase your unique methodology ↳ Example Framework: ↳ Problem most miss ↳ Our unusual approach ↳ Why it works (data/story) Want the full breakdown? 🔗Swipe the carousel for templates, visuals, and my free Business Strategy Checklist 💬 Which format will you try first?
