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.
