The Skill
Write 5 scroll-stopping opening hooks for a social media post on the following: Topic: [WHAT THE POST IS ABOUT] Target audience: [WHO YOU ARE WRITING FOR] Platform: [LINKEDIN / X / INSTAGRAM / TIKTOK] Goal: [INFORM / INSPIRE / PROMOTE / START A CONVERSATION] For each hook: - Write the opening line (max 15 words) - Label the technique used (curiosity gap, bold claim, counter-intuitive take, personal story, question) - Give it a shareability score out of 10 Do not use clickbait or misleading statements. Avoid starting with "I" on LinkedIn. Recommend the top 2 for my goal.
Example output
1. "I turned down a $40K project last week. Here's why it was the right call." — Personal story / bold claim — 9/10 2. "Most freelancers price wrong. Not too high — too vague." — Counter-intuitive take — 8/10 3. "What would you do if your biggest client paused tomorrow?" — Question / urgency — 7/10 Top pick for LinkedIn: #1 — personal stakes drive comments.
