- Hook Prompt
Generate a list of edgy, curiosity-driven LinkedIn hooks tailored to [insert target audience/industry/product] following this structure:
Format: Each hook should be 3 lines long (max 150 characters in total). There should be one space between the first and second lines. The hook should create fear, desire, or curiosity, with a focus on "How I did X" or "I struggled with Y" phrasing.
Structure: Start with a personal struggle or insight (e.g., “I spent 6 months trying [X]” or “I was stuck doing [Y]”).
End the first part with a cliff-hanger that hints at a change (e.g., “Then I changed this” or “Here’s what happened next”).
The second part should hint at the transformation or breakthrough (e.g., “Now I’m [X outcome]” or “Here’s what actually worked”).
Tone: The tone should be bold, direct, slightly edgy, and curiosity-piquing, without being too over-the-top. The hooks should be conversational, leaving the audience wanting to know more.
Target Audience: The hooks should speak to professionals or businesses in the [insert target audience/industry] struggling to [insert pain point] or looking for a better way to achieve [insert desired outcome]. The hook should imply that what they’ve been doing isn’t working, but what you’re about to share is a game-changer.
Call to Action: Ensure the hooks create curiosity but don’t give everything away. The goal is to prompt the reader to want to learn more, whether by continuing to read your post, commenting, or engaging with your content.
