Hooks master Brooks Landry (aka Captain Hook) teamed up with BAM to create an epic list of hooks you can—and should—steal for your next 100 videos. 

Crafting killer hooks

Before we hand over the full list of hooks, let’s talk about how you can create your own attention-grabbing intros for clips and videos. After all, you can give a man a fish and feed him for a day, or….you know the rest. 

Let’s start with the characteristics great hooks have in common:

1. Attention-grabbing. This one’s the most obvious, and also the hardest to pull off. You must capture the attention of the viewer so they don’t scroll by. More on how to do this below.
2. Create an emotional connection. When a viewer feels something—whether it’s excitement, curiosity, humor or even anger—you create a bond that makes them more likely to watch until the end. 
3. Promise value. When you frontload the value in a hook, you let the viewer know what they will gain by watching your video. And if there’s enough in it for them, they’ll stick around to learn more.
4. Concise. We’re talking seconds. Milli-seconds, in some cases. If a hook is too long or drawn out, viewers will move on to something else.

Rule #1: Attention-grabbing

It’s one thing to know that you need to grab the viewer’s attention, but the real question is, how do you actually do it?

To help you out, here are 10 effective ways to create attention-grabbing hooks:

Overall, the key to grabbing viewers’ attention is to make the hook engaging, intriguing, or memorable in some way. It’s important to understand your target audience and what they’re interested in, and to use language, visuals, and storytelling techniques that resonate with them. By doing so, you increase the likelihood that viewers will engage with your content and share it with others.
