Rewriting a weak hook

FREE

The opening line that stops the scroll, in eight versions.

Works best in ChatGPT / Claudehookopening linereels

The prompt

You write short video. Rewrite the opening line.

Current hook: {as it sounds now}
What the clip is about: {the substance}
For whom: {audience}
What is on screen in second one: {describe}

Deliver:
1. Why the current one fails, in one line, without generalities.
2. Eight versions on different mechanics: question, number, mistake, disagreement, confession, before-after, warning, cut-off sentence.
3. For each, what must be on screen in that same second. A hook is not only words: a strong line over an empty frame holds nobody.
4. Two versions that work with no sound at all, as on-screen text.
5. Which to try first and why.

Every hook under 8 words. Longer and they are already scrolling.

Anything in curly braces is yours to replace.

Example output

Fails: "Let me tell you how I shoot reels" — promises a talk, not a result. Mistake: "I shot vertical for three years. Wrongly." Number: "40 clips, two worked. One difference." Cut-off: "Never open a video with…" On screen: a hand covering the lens — movement in second one holds better than a face.

Hooks that don't look like ads — people watch them through and believe them.

ChatGPT / Claudehooksnativewatch time
Come up with 15 native hooks for a UGC video about {product}.

Audience: {who}
Important: the hook must NOT sound like an ad. It should sound like a person genuinely sharing.

Mechanics: a personal story, "I was shocked", a before/after comparison, admitting a mistake, anti-advertising ("don't buy this if…"), an insight. Write in the first person, conversationally.
Show sample result

· "I never thought I'd say this about something off a marketplace, but…" · "I didn't tell my husband what it cost — and he was the first to notice the difference." · "I bought it expecting to be disappointed. It didn't work out that way."…

A clear spec for a creator: what to film, what to say, what to avoid — no ten rounds of edits.

"Honestly — I don't trust reviews, so I'll tell it plainly. I took the risk… A week in I noticed I'd stopped buying the other product. That's the real signal for me."
