Why the first line matters
In the feed, people see the first line or two of a post before they decide to read on. A hook gives them a reason to stop: a question, a surprise, a promise or the start of a story.
Five kinds of hook
- Curiosity: hints at something worth knowing, without giving it away.
- Contrarian: disagrees with common advice, then backs it up.
- List: promises a set number of useful points.
- Story: starts in the middle of something that happened.
- Question: invites replies, which keep a post going.
