Get Rid of "Hook Writer's Block" Once and For All With This Dead Simple Trick

How many times have you sat down to write a content post, stared at the blank screen and blinking cursor and groaned in discomfort at the thought of needed to come up with some catchy hook that will keep your prospect reading and watching?

This was definitely me, before I joined Laura Mzhickteno's challenge earlier this month.

She added a ton a value and introduced me to a way of coupling a hook with an explainer and it helps SO MUCH that I've used it every day AND have generated my own.

Here's how...

Copy and Paste this prompt into ChatGPT and replace the [two] areas in [square brackets] with stuff about your avatar and goal.

Hello! I'd like for you to generate 100 for me to help me engage my audience effectively. These [avatar/market type] are primarily focused on [main goal]. I want the hooks to be adaptable for various content formats like blog posts and social media updates. I prefer a mix of inspirational and provocative styles, similar to Dan Kennedy’s copywriting. Can you also provide brief explanations with each hook on how to use them? For example, some hooks might be geared towards generating curiosity, while others might be designed to provoke action. Thank you!

For example... I have a rad client that is about to revolutionize back yard gardens with his Linchpin membership. This is what I used for his prompt:

"Hello! I'd like for you to generate 100 for me to help me engage my audience effectively. These aspiring gardeners are primarily focused on building garden beds in their back yards so they can grow food for their families and not be dependent on the system for their nutritional needs. I want the hooks to be adaptable for various content formats like blog posts and social media updates. I prefer a mix of inspirational and provocative styles, similar to Dan Kennedy’s copywriting. Can you also provide brief explanations with each hook on how to use them? For example, some hooks might be geared towards generating curiosity, while others might be designed to provoke action. Thank you!"

And here are some of the results!

Then you're GUARANTEED to never have Hook Writer's Block again!
