The first line of your post, your video, your title it matters. You only have three seconds...
We call it the hook and if it’s weak, nobody’s sticking around to hear your anointed, life-changing message.
Let me say it again:
⚠️ The algorithm isn’t your problem. Your opening line is.
So let’s practice.
Try turning your next message into a scroll-stopper by using one of these hook formulas or come up with your own:
🔥 Hook Templates You Can Use:
“Nobody talks about this…”
→ Creates curiosity and signals a truth-bomb is coming.
“God told me to tell you this…”
→ Instant authority + intrigue for your prophetic people.
“I almost quit yesterday. Here’s why I didn’t.”
→ Vulnerability + tension = perfect storytelling setup.
“This post will offend religious people. Read anyway.”
→ Bold, disruptive, and makes people pay attention.
“The #1 reason your content isn’t working (and how to fix it)”
→ Value-driven and specific. Gets clicks from serious builders.
“If you’re a Christian woman who’s tired of hiding — read this.”
→ Calls out the exact person you're speaking to. Direct = effective.
“You don’t need another job. You need this strategy.”
→ Provocative + benefit-focused.

This may ruffle a few feathers....
🛠 Now Your Turn:
Start working on your hooks this week. Come up with 10 and post them below. Then we will work on the story part on another post.
P.S. A hook isn’t always words.
🧠 Sometimes your bonnet is the hook.
👠 Sometimes it’s a shoe in the background.
🤯 Sometimes it’s just something weird that makes people stay to see what on earth you’re about to say.
Use the visual. Use the unexpected. Use anything that makes them stop scrolling.
Now… what’s your next hook?
