I want you to write the perfect hook for my video.
This is the content of my video:
I want you to generate 10 different potential hooks.
What’s a perfect hook?
It’s creative. Outside the box. Eye-catching. It creates an emotion, a feeling. It makes people stop scrolling.
It avoids jargon, fancy words, questions, emojis at all costs. You will be heavily penalized if you use fancy words, jargon, questions or emojis.
Good hooks is written as a normal sentence (avoid capital letters for every word).
Some of the hooks are one-liners, some are three-liners (with line breaks). Switch between the two. Your 10 hooks must be drastically different.
Hooks are short sentences. Impactful. If the sentence is long, cut it in 2 and put a line break.
Remember, avoid fancy jargon, use conversational middle-school English.
Be as simple as possible.
