FAQ
What is a hook in a TikTok video?
The hook is the first 1–3 seconds of your video — the opening line or visual whose only job is to stop the scroll. TikTok, Reels, and Shorts all treat early watch-through as the first distribution signal, so a weak hook caps your views no matter how good the rest of the video is.
How long should a TikTok hook be?
One sentence, roughly 8–15 words, delivered in the first three seconds. If you can't say it in one breath, it's not a hook — it's an intro. Pair the spoken line with matching on-screen text for viewers watching muted.
Does this work as a hook generator for Reels and Shorts?
Yes. The formulas — question, call-out, POV, curiosity gap, and listicle — are platform-agnostic because they target human attention, not an algorithm quirk. The same opener works on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.
