YOUR HOOKS ARE DEAD. 90% of your post’s success dies here. Hooks aren’t luck. They’re neurological warfare. What if your hooks could FORCE the scroll to stop? I’VE DISSECTED EVERY HOOK STYLE: → Long vs. short. → Stats vs. stories. → Quotes vs. chaos. THESE 5 FORMULAS NEVER LOSE: 1. “How I…” (“How I turned 3 followers into 30,000 without a ‘personal brand’.”) 2. “How To…” (“How to murder boring hooks in 7 seconds.”) 3. “Story Openers” (“I deleted LinkedIn. 24 hours later, THIS blew up…”) 4. “Quote + Contradiction” (“Einstein said ‘imagination rules.’ He was wrong. Here’s why.”) 5. “Stat Shock” (“97% of you will fail here. Be the 3%.”) 💣 20 POWER WORDS TO STEAL: → Fear/Urgency: “Danger,” “Stop,” “Final Warning” → Authority: “Hacked,” “10X,” “Forbidden” → Curiosity: “Secret,” “Lies,” “Stolen” 🚨 FORMATTING CHEAT CODES (NO “SEE MORE” HELL): → Spacing: [Line] [GAP] [Line] >>> [Line] [Line] [Line] → Mobile Magic: Line 1 & 2: ≤62 characters (fits the scroll!) Line 3: ≤50 characters (no spillover!) → K.I.S.S.: No emojis. No bold. Pure, dripping curiosity. 🎁 BONUS WAR CHEST: → 10 DONE-FOR-YOU TEMPLATES (e.g., “The dirty secret [your industry] doesn’t want you to know…”) → 7 HOOK ASSASSINS to stalk (steal from Justin Welsh, Kieran Drew, etc.) 🚨 PS: Organic growth isn’t dead. BORING CREATORS ARE. Use these or rot in the algorithm’s basement. 👇 COMMENT “ZOMBIE” AND I’LL SLIDE YOU THE FREE PDF. (Or stalk Yaser for daily fire.) 💣 PPS: If writing hooks feels like pulling teeth… I weaponize Depost AI to spit 5 viral hooks in 1 click (link in hell… I mean comments). 👇 “REVIVE ME” FOR THE CHEAT SHEET. SAVE. TAG. REPOST. ♻️ Reshare if you’re done being ignored. --- 🔥 Want the 5-second hook hack? I’m in your comments. (Hi.) ⚠️ WARNING: This post self-destructs in 24 hours. (Just kidding. But FOMO works.) Strategic chaos beats perfection. Always. Go break some rules. ---How’d I hook you?

Brilliant breakdown, makes you realize it's not about writing more, but writing smarter. Definitely stealing a few of these formulas for my next post!

These hook formulas are gold. Time to resurrect my engagement. 
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.

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?
