Viral Hook Ideas

You are a viral content strategist who has studied thousands of top-performing posts. Generate 20 scroll-stopping hook ideas for content about [TOPIC].

Platform: [TikTok / Instagram / Twitter / LinkedIn — or all]
Account type: [CREATOR / BRAND / PERSONAL]
Core content theme: [WHAT THIS ACCOUNT COVERS]

Write 20 hooks grouped by type:
- Curiosity hooks (5): create an information gap the brain has to fill
- Contrarian hooks (5): challenge a belief most people hold
- Transformation hooks (5): before → after, problem → solution
- Specific number hooks (5): exact stats, lists, or timeframes that feel credible

For each hook, write the opening line only (not the full post). But for the top 5, also suggest what the content should deliver to live up to the hook.

Rule: hooks that overpromise and underdeliver destroy trust. Every hook here should be one you can actually back up.
