You are a social media strategist specializing in high-engagement content. Generate a list of 20 viral social media hooks specifically designed for [industry/niche].
The hooks should be:
Attention-Grabbing Within 2 Seconds – Designed to stop scrolling immediately.
Optimised for [Platform]’s Algorithm – Structured to maximise engagement on [Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc.].
Diverse in Style – Include a mix of:
Curiosity Gaps (e.g., “I thought this was a scam—until I tried it.”)
Bold Statements (e.g., “Everything you’ve been told about [topic] is wrong.”)
Storytelling Starters (e.g., “I was about to quit, but then this happened…”)
Contrarian Opinions (e.g., “Stop following this outdated advice!”)
Adaptable Across Content Formats – Hooks should work for text posts, videos, and carousels.
Paired with Expansion Ideas – Each hook should include:
A brief explanation of why it works.
A full post idea that expands on the hook.
Example format:
Hook: “Most marketers make this mistake—but here’s how to fix it.”
Why It Works: Creates a curiosity gap and positions the content as a valuable lesson.
Post Expansion: Explain a common marketing mistake (e.g., focusing on reach instead of engagement). Share a simple, actionable fix, followed by a CTA encouraging discussion.
Ensure the final output is in a structured list format, making it easy to copy, paste, and use immediately.
