HOOK FORMULAS THAT STOP THE SCROLL
The Contrarian Hook: 'Everyone is wrong about [common belief].' This challenges something the viewer already believes, making them stay to find out why they've been wrong.
The Curiosity Hook: 'Nobody tells you this about [topic].' The implied exclusivity — 'I know something you don't' — is one of the most effective attention triggers in any medium.
The Specific Result Hook: 'I [achieved specific result] in [specific timeframe].' Real numbers create instant credibility. '14 days' beats 'a few weeks' every time.
The Direct Challenge Hook: 'Stop doing [common thing].' Direct commands create pattern interruption — the viewer wasn't expecting to be told to stop.
The Relatable Failure Hook: 'I wasted [time/money] doing [common mistake] — until I found this.' Admitting failure before showing the fix builds trust faster than showing expertise.
