Hey there! Short-form videos are all the rage, right? From TikTok to YouTube Shorts, everyone's trying to snag viewers fast. Here’s how you can master the art of the hook and make your videos pop.

What’s the Deal with Hooks? A hook is your video’s first impression. Make it bold, make it snappy, and make sure it’s something that’ll make your friends go, “Wait, what did they just say?” It could be a weird fact, a surprising question, or just a super relatable moment.

The Tricky Part It’s easy to try too hard. You know what I mean—sometimes you can tell when a video feels like it’s just trying to grab your attention and nothing more. Or when everyone’s just copying everyone else. Keep it cool, keep it you.


Top Tips for Hooks That Stick

  1. Who’s Watching? Tailor your hooks to what your audience digs. You’ve seen what works.

  2. Keep It Simple: Hit them fast with your message. No rambling.

  3. Mix It Up: Test different hooks to keep it fresh.

Stay Authentic: Make sure your hook sounds like something you’d actually say.


Try these hooks:

  1. ”Stop Scrolling!”

  2. "Why are there not more people talking about___”

  3. “You need to watch this if you struggle with______”

  4. “Hear me out…”

  5. “I’ve got a secret’’


Good hooks are key—they’re not just about catching eyes, they’re about making a connection, fast. Stick to what’s real, keep it straightforward, and your videos are going to fly.
