Brainstorm Tiktok and Instagram Hooks

For my talking head educational videos, I personally don't script them.

I use Blotato to brainstorm video hooks because that's the most important part.

If your hook fails to stop people from scrolling, they won't watch your video.

If you're new to short-form video, I recommend focusing on your hooks, the first 10 seconds of your video. Don't spend a lot of time scripting or editing your video.

What are hooks?

What do I mean by "hook"?

  • first 4 sentences you say

  • video title

  • visual hook

Check out this video as an example. The video title is "This guy is a genius..." and the visual hook is a Reddit screenshot used as green screen.

For education videos, simply stating the value the viewer will get from watching your video works well. For example: "7 free courses to learn AI" makes it clear what the viewer gets from watching.


How do I use blotato?

Here's how to use Blotato help you brainstorm scroll-stopping hooks:

  • go to the main Remix screen

  • click Load prompt from library

  • select Brainstorm Tiktok IG Video Hooks

  • click Generate

Next, you'll see a brainstormed list of video hooks.

Scroll through them and pick your favorite! Tweak the language so you feel good saying it 👍
