What makes a hook work
Curiosity gap, not full reveal
The hook teases the answer, the video delivers it. "How I doubled my newsletter" beats "I doubled my newsletter using these 3 tactics". Hand the viewer the question, not the spoiler.
Concrete is louder than clever
"This $4 tool replaced my $80 setup" outranks "This tool changed my workflow". Numbers, prices, time spans and named brands make thumbs stop. Vague verbs let them keep scrolling.
Test multiple hooks per video
TikTok especially lets you republish the same video with a new hook if the first didn't pop. Treat the eight here as eight different videos for the same footage. Run two, kill the loser.
