The Power of an Engaging Hook

Over my career as a broadcast director and video marketer, I’ve written thousands of hooks for commercials, jingles, and sales presentations. But even for me, coming up with new ideas can be tough. That’s why I created a simple fill-in-the-blank prompt for ChatGPT to generate 25 engaging hooks in five different styles for any video.

How it Works:

All you need to start is a video script that needs a killer hook. 

Then you combine it with the fill-in-the-blanks ChatGPT Prompt Below.

In case you're wondering… Here are the five different question hook styles:

Asking a question gets people thinking and keeps them curious for the answer.

Tease a little bit of your content to build curiosity and hold their interest.

Make a promise of a specific benefit or takeaway. If they want that benefit, they’ll stick around.

Pose a challenge. When viewers imagine themselves overcoming it, they stay engaged.
