This Prompt Will Give You Scroll Stopping Hooks!!
I was posting and doing everything weâre âsupposedâ to do. And yet⌠people were scrolling past my content like I wasnât even there. No pause. No curiosity. No engagement. Just scroll, scroll, scroll. And I thought to myself, this cannot be this hard. It shouldnât take a miracle to get someone to stop for three seconds. So recently, out of pure irritation, I wrote a hook that was a little bold. A little sassy. A little⌠lovingly disrespectful. Something along the lines of, âYouâre not shadowbanned⌠your message just sucks.â And when I tell you that post stopped people? It stopped them. Not because I was being cruel. Not because I was attacking anyone. But because it disrupted the pattern. Most content online is polite, safe, vague, and easy to ignore. When you introduce confident, playful, slightly audacious energy, you interrupt the scroll. You create curiosity. You spark just enough tension for someone to think, wait⌠what does she mean by that? And that pause right there is everything. Thereâs actually psychology behind it. When you break someoneâs scrolling rhythm, their brain pays attention. When thereâs a little emotional reaction â even surprise â attention increases. When you create a curiosity gap, people feel the need to close it. And when you speak with clarity and authority, you signal leadership. That combination is powerful. This isnât about insulting people. Itâs not about being rude. Itâs about shaking someone awake in a loving way. If you teach digital marketing, instead of starting with, âHere are three ways to grow on Instagram,â you could open with something like, âYour content isnât flopping. Your clarity is.â Or, âIf your bio needs a paragraph to explain what you do, we need to talk.â Or even, âYou donât need another Reel. You need a clear sentence.â Each one pulls someone in emotionally before you teach the actual strategy. If you teach budgeting or money management, instead of, âHereâs how to save more money each month,â try, âYouâre not broke. Youâre just disorganized.â Or, âYour bank account isnât the problem. Your habits are.â Or, âStop saying youâre bad with money. Youâre just avoiding one simple system.â Thatâs lovingly disruptive, but it opens the door to teach a practical framework.
