Here's how to write a hook so good it is scientifically impossible to skip. This is called the triple hook method. And if you do this right, it will hypnotize a viewer such that they physically cannot scroll away. All right, step one is the context. And this is the basic step, but so many people still get this wrong. Viewers only watch content where they have a vested interest in the topic.

increases the skip rate dramatically. So priority number one is to set immediate context as soon as possible. Now, step two in the triple hook is where most people mess up. This is called the lean.

know how to do this. I call it the contrarian snapback. To catch a fish, you gotta get the hook in its mouth swimming one way and then yank the line going another direction. Not to be morbid, but storytelling works the exact same way. The goal is to say something in the contrarian snapback that pulls the viewer away from the direction they were leaning. Essentially,

snapping them back down another path. That triple combination of rapidly buying into the context, leaning in based on some curiosity, and then getting snapped back in another direction is the God to your hook formula that works every single time.
