Free hook generator for TikTok and Reels
The first two seconds decide whether anyone watches the rest. Enter a topic and get ten opening lines in ten different styles: a bold claim, a common mistake, a myth, a question and more. Pick the one that sounds most like you.
How to use it
- Enter the topic of the video, like "how often to replace running shoes".
- Add your business if you want hooks that speak to your customers.
- Pick two or three hooks and film the same video with each. Keep the one that holds viewers longest.
Questions
- What is a hook in a TikTok video?
- The opening line, and whatever is on screen while you say it. Its only job is to make someone stop scrolling long enough to hear the second line.
- How long should a hook be?
- Under two seconds to say, which is about 5 to 12 words. If it needs a breath in the middle, it is too long.
- Should I put the hook on screen as text too?
- Yes. Many people watch with the sound off at first, so the hook as a caption in the first frame catches them as well.
Rather not film it yourself?
