Hooks can make or break your LinkedIn posts, especially a TEXT post as that solely relies on the first two lines to get read. This is how a text post appears on your feed:

Today, I’m sharing a few quick strategies you can use to write killer hooks:

#1 - Add Numbers

Hooks that include numbers tend to perform good, as they give the reader a specific idea of what to expect. It also gives the reader a much more clear idea of what to expect from the post.

#2 - Use Power Words

They are words that trigger an emotional response in the reader. Make bold statements but be sure to back them up. These power words or statements can help grab attention of your audience and encourage them to take action.

#3 - Make it Thought-Provoking

Statements that make you wait and ponder are great to stop the scroll. Use a challenging statement as the hook of your post, so that the reader immediately stops to read your full thought.

#4 - Spark Curiosity

Present incomplete information or an intriguing scenario. It leaves readers with a burning desire to learn more, compelling them to keep reading.

#5 - Use Storytelling

The Storytelling Hook is the timeless art of captivating your audience through narratives. Stories have an innate ability to evoke emotions, spark curiosity, and create connections.
