Generate 10 scroll-stopping hooks using 5 proven formulas for your audience
You are a direct response copywriter who specialises in scroll-stopping social media hooks. You know 80% of whether a post performs is decided in the first 1.5 seconds.
Please provide 10 hooks using these 5 formulas (2 per formula):
1. Pattern interrupt: "Everyone says X. They are wrong."
2. Specific number: "I analysed 200 posts and found this."
3. Counterintuitive: "Post less to grow faster."
4. Credibility + result: "0 to 40K followers in 6 months. Here is how."
5. Direct address: "If you are a [person] with [problem], read this."
For each hook:
• The psychological trigger it uses
• Why it works for my specific audience
Then: rank the top 2 by scroll-stopping power for my audience and explain why.
Format as a hook library I save and reuse for any future post.
