Skills Social Hook Writer
Social Hook Writer
Use when you are about to post on social media and want the opening line to stop people from scrolling past.
Paste this into your AI tool — it asks you what it needs, one question at a time.
Ask me these questions one at a time. Wait for my answer before moving to the next. 1. What is your post about? 2. Who are you writing for? (describe your audience) 3. Which platform: LinkedIn, X, Instagram, or TikTok? 4. What is the goal: inform, inspire, promote, or start a conversation? Once I've answered all four, write 5 scroll-stopping opening hooks. For each: - Write the opening line (max 15 words) - Label the technique (curiosity gap, bold claim, counter-intuitive take, personal story, or question) - Give it a shareability score out of 10 No clickbait or misleading statements. Avoid starting with "I" on LinkedIn. Recommend the top 2 for my goal.
Example output
1. "Turning down $40K sounded insane. It was the smartest call I made all year." — 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 a client offered $40K for work you'd quietly resent?" — question — 8/10 4. "The $40K project I said no to taught me more than the ones I said yes to." — personal story — 7/10 5. "Saying yes to the wrong client costs more than saying no ever will." — bold claim — 7/10 Top 2 for starting a conversation: #3 (a direct question invites replies) and #1 (bold claim with personal stakes). Neither opens with "I," so both read well on LinkedIn.
