Write opening lines that earn attention honestly

A hook is a promise in under 15 words. You will practise six patterns — the problem, the result, the mistake, the contrarian truth, the number and the story start — and check every line for length and for fake claims.

You will practise

  • Using six repeatable hook patterns
  • Writing under 15 words
  • Separating curiosity from deception

No AI key needed. The guided template works for everyone.

  1. 1Brief

    Specific answers make better results — with or without AI.

  2. 2Make

    Pick a route. The template gives you a structure with [[blanks]] to fill in yourself. Your own key drafts it for you — then you still check it.

    See the exact prompt — copy it into any AI chat you already use
  3. 3Check
    The same rules run on every draft, human or AI. Most first drafts fail something — that is the point.
      Self-check — judgement no checker can make
    • 4Improve
      Fix one item at a time, then check again. Notice which fixes made it better — that is the skill.
      1. Run the check first.
    • 5Ship
      Use it for real: send it, post it or save it. Record what happened — that is your evidence of learning.

    Questions people ask
    What is a hook?
    The first line of a post or the first seconds of a video — its job is to make the right person keep reading or watching.
    Do hooks work on every platform?
    Yes, but length differs: a LinkedIn first line, a TikTok first two seconds and an email subject line all play the same role.
    Do I need an AI key to use this?
    No. The guided template teaches the same skill with no AI at all. If you add your own free key (Groq, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Mistral or Cerebras), the tool can also draft and revise. The key stays in your browser and requests go straight to that provider.
    Where is my work saved?
    In this browser only (local storage), until you copy or download it. Nothing you type is sent to Open Practice.
