9 dead-simple tips to master hooks and go viral โ€“ even if you suck at writing ๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿงต
๐Ÿ”ธ Self-interest

No matter what the topic is, always put yourself in your readers' shoes. Ask: "Why should I care about this?"

@ElenaaETH is the queen of self-interest hooks


๐Ÿ”ธ Statistics

Numbers grab attention, we scan texts instead of reading them most of the time

If we come across numbers, our brains tend to take notice

When it comes to statistics, @thedefiedge is king


๐Ÿ”ธHow to without

How to [solution] without [limitation or pain-point]

The second half of the formula is the secret sauce

@naval knew this secret long ago

๐Ÿ”ธ Sell benefits

Stop settling for boring "How to" headlines. If you want to grab attention, focus on highlighting the benefits of what you're offering.

@iam_Riichard explained it better

๐Ÿ”ธ Most people (bad)

No one wants to be in the losing group. When you call out a pain point, your thread should be the solution

@crypthoem uses this all the time


๐Ÿ”ธ Emotions

โ€ข Attention: Grab it with a shocking statement
โ€ข Curiosity: Give them enough information to get them interested, but don't satisfy their needs "yet"

โ€ข Fear: Fear of loss is bigger than the pleasure of gain

@NFT_GOD is the master!

๐Ÿ”ธ Analysis hook

Knowledge is power. Putting it together for others is a solid value, plus you save your readers time and energy

Exactly what @MoAbri did yesterday

๐Ÿ”ธ Tell a vulnerable story

At some point, we get sick of the gurus, create relatability, and build a subliminal connection

Well yeah that's my thing

๐Ÿ”ธ Power words

Your hooks are dead until you bring them to life with power words

Not all words are equal. Check out @Javas_writes list
