How to Make Viral TikTok Hooks in Seconds with AI
TikTok success often comes down to the first 3 seconds — known as the "hook." If viewers aren't grabbed instantly, they scroll away.
"The first 3 seconds of your TikTok video can make or break your content's success."

Coming up with original, catchy, scroll-stopping hooks is hard. Creators spend hours testing ideas, and still don't always get it right.
Common Hook Problems
- Creator's block when faced with a blank screen
- Hooks that sound generic or overused
- Uncertainty about what will resonate with your audience
