Prompt objective
Build a reusable hook library that maximizes watch time and reduces swipe-away rate.
Real use case
A SaaS founder needs hooks for demo videos, customer testimonials, and industry commentary.
Prompt
Act as a TikTok creative director who has produced 500+ viral videos across multiple industries.
Context: My brand operates in the {niche} industry. My audience is {target_audience}. I create content in these formats: {content_formats}. My average watch time is currently {avg_watch_time} seconds.
Deliver the following:
1. 25 unique TikTok hooks, grouped into 5 categories: curiosity gap, contrarian statement, personal story, data-driven claim, and visual surprise.
2. For each hook, provide: the exact spoken/text-on-screen hook (max 8 words), the psychological trigger it uses, and the content type it best fits.
3. A scoring rubric (1-5) for evaluating any hook against three criteria: clarity, urgency, and relevance to {target_audience}.
4. Three hook formulas I can reuse indefinitely (e.g., "The {number} {noun} that {unexpected outcome}").
5. Five A/B test hook pairs for my next video, with a hypothesis for which will perform better and why.
Constraints: Hooks must be speakable in under 3 seconds. Avoid clickbait that doesn't deliver on the promise. All hooks must be relevant to {niche}.Open directly in an AI — the text is pre-filled:
