WRITING HOOKS
Start any piece of writing with these, and readers can’t stop reading
Every great story starts with a line that grabs attention.
Not a basic sentence, not a usual long explanation, but a line that makes the reader pause and think, “I must read the next part,” or “I was waiting for this kind of piece of writing”.
This is called a hook.
Doesn’t matter if you are writing an article, a newsletter, or a ChatGPT prompt; the first words matter more than anything that comes after.
Why Your First Line is a Decider
Readers have a shorter attention span of 8 seconds. Algorithms don’t care either.
If the opening line or title doesn’t create curiosity or empathy, they will leave before you’ve even begun.
As a daily ChatGPT user, I discovered that the same rule is also true for the prompts. If the opening is stronger and sharper, the better the output will be. Weak inputs yield weak results.
