The idea: insider secret claim: 'The hotel cleaning lady taught me this'
89/100 · Strong hook
- Little or nothing is said in the first 3 seconds.
- Text on screen from the first frame, so it works with the sound off.
- The first cut comes at 1.0 s, which keeps the eye moving.
- The opening speaks to the viewer or opens a question.
- The pace after the hook is steady.
Worked out from this breakdown, not a prediction of views. Test your own opening line with the free hook checker.
Why it works
- The hook lands in the first 1 seconds and on-screen text, before a viewer can scroll away.
- 12 cuts in 14 seconds (a new shot about every 1.11 s) keep the picture changing.
- Captions in blocks of about 6 words let it work with the sound off.
