Stop The Scroll With Irresistible Content Hooks

The key to any piece of content is THE HOOK / HEADLINE.

This is the 80/20 balance of content writing.

Get the hook right and you’ll capture attention and have people engage with your content. If they’re scrolling, and the hook isn’t right, the rest of your content won’t matter.

Types of Hooks

Result Based Hooks: Open with big and flashy information.

• How my client got X Result in Y Timeframe

Example B: The yay without the yuck

• How to get X Result without Y Frustration / Obstacle
