3a. Hook Idea Bank

How to Use the Hook Idea Bank

What are Concept Hooks?
Concept hooks are hooks that aren’t visual which means it usually relies on words and sound. These kinds of hooks are usually used as title for concepts that are rephrased or reworded to sound more appealing. Some examples of it are:
"My go-to [PRODUCT] for [PROBLEM]."
"I tried every X so you don't have to."
"X: People stop scrolling."
"3 tips to get rid of X."
"If you're like me and do X, then this is for you."
What are Visual Hooks?
In comparison to the concept hooks, visual hooks are quite self-explanatory. They don’t heavily rely on audio or words but instead rely on interesting visuals or clips. Some examples are:
Chicken bone breaking
Model falls to tears after wearing the product
Nails tapping on the package box
Why are hooks important?
A hook is one of the main ingredients of a video. It stops people from scrolling and provides an initial impression of the brand or product. With that in mind, it is vital that we find hooks that can work really well and to do that, it is necessary that we come up with many ideas that we can try and test.
Note: All hook ideas are welcome but make sure to define the hook ideas as much as you can so we can visualize it. You may also add a reference link to provide an example.
