Transcript

I've studied thousands of videos, and these 6 hook formats always outperform everything else. Here’s my collection of the top short-form hooks formats: Number 1 is called the Fortune Teller. This is where you introduce something new that's going to affect the future of something in your niche. These work super well because they open a FOMO fear loop in the brain, it's impossible to ignore. Hook format number 2 is called the Contrarian. This is when you come out hot with a non-obvious take that challenges conventional wisdom. These work super well because they create instant tension and freeze someone to find out if what they used to believe the whole time has been wrong. Hook format number 3 is called the Insider. This is when you reveal some hidden truth or information that others don't have. These work super well because they make the viewer feel like they have a backstage or insider information they shouldn't. Hook format number 4 is called the Proven Winner. This is when you lead with results, validating incoming claims. These work super well because the evidence you give maps to something people want, and it makes them freeze to be able to get it. Hook format number 5 is called the Eye Magnet. This is when you show something or visually or conceptually interesting that the viewer just cannot look away. These work because they literally stun the viewer's subconscious, they cannot scroll. And last, number 6 is called the Connector. This is when you connect two things that don't seem to go together. Because they create an immediate curiosity gap in the viewer's head as to why these two things are being compared. The truth is, these are the only types you ever need. If you play within these, you'll be fine. Comment "hook"s and I'll send you my entire database of hook formats plus examples you never have again.
