What good hooks look like
How to use your hooks
- 1
Pick three hooks from different angles. Variety tells you more than ten versions of one idea.
- 2
Put each on screen in the first second: over a reaction clip, as slide one of a slideshow, or as a meme caption.
- 3
Post all three in the same week and keep the angle with the best watch time. Then write ten more like it.

Questions
What is a hook on TikTok?
The first line of text or speech in a video, the part that decides in about a second whether someone keeps watching. Good hooks name a specific situation, feeling or result your viewer recognises.
Is the hook generator free?
Yes. You can write a dozen sets of 10 hooks a day without signing up. If you want them turned into finished videos and slideshows, paste your product link on the homepage: the first 10 posts are free too.
How does it pick the hooks?
It writes one hook for each of 10 angles that work on short video (curiosity, problem–solution, POV, before/after, comparison, social proof, founder story, listicle, reaction and routine) so you can test different openings, not ten versions of the same one.
Will it make up claims about my product?
It's told not to invent statistics, reviews or prices. Still, read each hook before you post and only keep claims you can back up.
What makes a hook go viral?
Specificity and tension. “I deleted 4 apps after downloading this one” beats “the best app ever”. Test three angles at once and keep the one with the best watch time, not the most likes.
