Questions
What is a video hook?
The first line of a short video: the words and on-screen text that give a viewer a reason to keep watching. A good hook makes a promise the rest of the video keeps.
How long should a hook be?
Short enough to say in about two seconds, usually under 14 words. If it needs a second sentence, it is the start of the script, not the hook.
Is this tool free?
Yes. No account and no card. There is a daily limit per visitor so it stays free for everyone.
Can I use these hooks anywhere?
Yes, the lines are yours to use. Read them before you post and keep only what is true for your video.
