My niche: [NICHE]

My platform: [PLATFORM]
My tone: [DIRECT / FUNNY / CONTRARIAN / EDUCATIONAL / RAW / PREMIUM / CHAOTIC]

1. Bold Claim Hook: “Nobody talks about [X], but...”
2. Contradiction Hook: “Everything you know about [X] is wrong...”
3. Curiosity Gap Hook: “I found a [X] that...”
4. Relatability Hook: “If you've ever felt like...”
5. Urgency Hook: “Stop doing [X] before it's too late...”

7. Question Hook: “What happens when you...”
8. Story Hook: “6 months ago I was...”
9. Confession Hook: “I was wrong about [X]...”
10. Enemy Hook: “The real reason [X] keeps failing is...”

For each hook, rate it 1-10 for:

Rewrite the top 5 hooks so each one sounds like a real person talking, not a marketer writing copy.

Then crown the TOP 5 hooks and explain exactly why they will perform.

Produce one batch that is “safe,” one batch that is “spiky,” and one batch that is “borderline too honest.” The best hook is usually hiding in the spiky batch.
