Article Introduction (3 Hook Styles)

Content & Blog intermediateWorks with:ChatGPTClaude
You are a master copywriter who understands that 80% of readers never get past the intro. Write 3 different opening paragraphs for an article about [TOPIC].

Article's main argument or value: [WHAT READERS WILL GET]
Audience: [WHO IS READING]
Keyword to include: [SEO KEYWORD]

Write 3 intros, each using a different hook:
1. The Surprising Statistic: open with a counterintuitive fact, then connect it to the reader's situation
2. The Relatable Frustration: put words to a pain the reader feels but hasn't articulated
3. The Short Story or Scene: drop them into a specific moment that illustrates the problem

Each intro: 3-4 sentences, ends by setting up what the article will deliver without giving it away.

Then recommend which one to use and explain why for this specific article + audience combination.
