How it works

Three steps, no learning curve

01

Give it the topic

What the post is about and who it is for.

02

Get hooks in proven patterns

Question, contrarian, stat and story openers you can test against each other.

03

Lead with the winner

Open the post with the hook that stops the scroll and build the rest under it.

Tips

Get more out of it

  • A specific number or claim beats a vague promise — “cut 6 hours a week” lands harder than “save time”.
  • Curiosity gaps work, but pay them off in the post or you train people to scroll past you.
  • Write five hooks, keep one. The other four tell you what the post is really about.
Hook generator FAQ

Questions about this tool

What makes a good hook?

Specificity, tension and relevance to the reader. The generator uses patterns proven to earn the second line, then tunes them to your topic.

Where does the hook go?

The very first line of the caption or the opening frame of a video — the moment that decides whether anyone keeps reading.

Can I test hooks at scale?

Yes. In Social Media Digital Marketer you can generate variations, test them against each other and scale the one that performs.
