Viral Hook Writer

Master the art of the hook — the first line that stops the scroll and pulls people into your content. This skill uses proven psychological frameworks to generate hooks that resonate with your audience’s emotions and curiosity.

How to Use

  1. Define your topic and target audience
  2. Choose the emotional vibe you want to hit
  3. Use the prompt to generate multiple hook variations
  4. A/B test the top performers

The Prompt

Act as a viral content strategist who has studied the top 1% of social media posts.

Generate 15 scroll-stopping hooks for the following:

Topic: [YOUR TOPIC]
Platform: [PLATFORM]
Target audience: [AUDIENCE]
Desired vibe: [e.g., "inspiring but not preachy", "edgy and contrarian", "warm and relatable"]

Use these proven hook frameworks (3 hooks per framework):

1. **Pattern Interrupt**: Start with something unexpected
2. **Curiosity Gap**: Create an information gap they need to close
3. **Social Proof**: Lead with impressive numbers or authority
4. **Contrarian Take**: Challenge conventional wisdom
5. **Emotional Mirror**: Reflect their exact feelings back to them

For each hook, also provide:
- Why it works (1 sentence)
- Suggested follow-up line to maintain engagement
- Estimated engagement potential (low/medium/high)

Format hooks for [PLATFORM] — respect character limits and platform culture.

  • “Your marketing strategy is probably missing this one thing.”
