Hey rebel solopreneurs 🦸♀️🦸♂️
Most creators waste 30+ minutes searching through swipe files every time they need a hook.
Smart ones generate 15 viral hook variations in 90 seconds.
⛳️ Why this works
Before you write a Twitter thread, LinkedIn post, or newsletter, you need a hook that stops the scroll.
Without one? Your brilliant content dies in the feed. Nobody clicks. Nobody reads.
Manual hook writing? Staring at blank screen. Trying different angles. Deleting. Starting over. 30 minutes minimum.
Here's the thing:
Your swipe file is like a recipe book collecting dust.
You've got 200 proven recipes saved. Amazing hooks. Viral structures. Templates that work.
But every time you're hungry for a hook? You flip through the entire book. Page by page. "Was it in the Twitter section? Or LinkedIn? Or that one I saved 3 months ago?"
10 minutes searching. Another 10 copying. Another 10 filling it in manually.
The Hook Prompt System fixes this. It has 15 viral hook structures built-in. One prompt generates all variations instantly.
You scan the list. Pick the winner. Publish.
Your AI sidekick handles hook generation in 90 seconds. BAM.
Turns out, automation beats manual work every time.
Let's see how David figured this out:

David is a content creator. Posts on Twitter 5 times a week.
But here's his problem.
After 8 months, David had built a solid swipe file. 200+ saved hooks. Viral threads. Proven structures. All bookmarked and organized.
Every writing session? Same routine.
Open swipe file. Scroll through 200 posts. "Which template fits today's topic?" Scroll more. "Was it the timeframe hook? Or the contrarian one?"
15 minutes searching. Still hadn't picked a template.
Find one finally. Copy it. Open blank doc. Start filling in manually. "It took me {Long time period} to... wait, what's my timeframe? 3 years? 4 years?"
Delete. Try again. "And it took me {Short time period}... hmm, 6 months? 3 months?"
Another 15 minutes. One hook written.
David was tired of turning a 5-second task into a 30-minute ordeal.
Then David found something. A principle from someone who'd built viral content systems.
A concept called "The Viral Hook Generator."
It explained exactly why manual swipe file searching was killing productivity. And how to generate 15 hook variations from proven templates in 90 seconds.
David decided to try it:
One prompt. Three inputs. 15 hooks in 90 seconds.
🚀 David generated 15 hook variations instantly
David needed hooks for today's content about a fintech product launch.
He ran this prompt.
The prompt needed three things: topic, target audience (FOR WHO), and the outcome they want (SO THAT). From there, it would use 15 proven viral hook structures to generate variations. David would scan the numbered list and pick the winner.
The viral hook generator:
<INPUT>
**Required:**
Topic: {INSERT your topic e.g. AI accounting tool}
FOR WHO: {INSERT target audience e.g. Startup founders}
SO THAT: {INSERT desired outcome e.g. They can close books in 1 hour instead of 1 week}
</INPUT>
