Write hooks that stop the scroll

Write hooks that stop the scroll: The first second decides if anyone sees the rest. 1) Start with the result or the surprise, not the intro: "I made $600 from one DM", not "Hey guys". 2) Write ten hooks for the same video and pick the one you would stop for. 3) Say it and show it: the same words on screen and out loud in the first second.

The steps

  1. Start with the result or the surprise, not the intro: "I made $600 from one DM", not "Hey guys".
  2. Write ten hooks for the same video and pick the one you would stop for.
  3. Say it and show it: the same words on screen and out loud in the first second.
  4. In the edit, cut everything before the hook. Start mid-sentence if you have to.
  5. Keep a file of hooks. Every one that worked goes in it.

Your first move in Cutline
