Why hooks matter:
You have 0.5 seconds to stop the scroll. These are tested, proven openers that FORCE attention.
🎯 CURIOSITY HOOKS (Use First 3 Seconds)
- "Wait for it..."
- "Watch till the end."
- "Nobody is talking about this..."
- "You're not ready for the ending."
- "I can't believe this actually happened."
- "This is illegal in 3 countries."
- "POV: You're scrolling at 2am and see this."
😂 COMEDY HOOKS
- "Tell me why..."
- "It's the [blank] for me."
- "When [situation] hits different."
- "POV: You're the [character]..."
- "This is so specific but..."
- "Not me doing this at 3am."
🤯 WTF HOOKS
- "I'm calling the police."
- "What is going ON here?"
- "Security cam caught this..."
- "This should not be possible."
- "I have so many questions."
- "Sir, that is a Wendy's."
💡 VALUE HOOKS (For Educational)
- "Here's what nobody tells you..."
- "I wasted 6 months not knowing this."
- "The secret is in the [blank]."
- "Do this, not that."
- "Stop doing [wrong thing], start doing [right thing]."
❤️ EMOTIONAL HOOKS
- "This made me cry."
- "Restore your faith in humanity."
- "We don't deserve [subject]."
- "Who's cutting onions?"
- "My heart can't take this."
🎬 PRO TIP: Layer a hook with text overlay in the first frame. Example:"Security cam footage" (establishes format) "Wait for it..." (creates tension). Then the chaos happens.
