Your prompt

Act as a short-form video strategist. Generate 10 distinct hooks for a TikTok and Instagram Reels video promoting a 7-day meal-prep starter kit to busy parents. Cover these hook types at least once: problem, curiosity, contrarian, social-proof placeholder, demonstration, question. For each hook give: (1) the spoken or on-screen opening line (max 10 words), (2) the first-shot visual, (3) the hook type, (4) the audience assumption it relies on, and (5) one reason it might fail. Then group the 10 into 3 testing buckets so I can run a structured creative test. Rules: use only the offer details I gave you: includes 5 recipes, a shopping list and storage guide; priced at $29. Do not invent statistics, social proof, results or time-limited claims. Do not predict which hook will win.

Example of what to expect

Illustrative only. It describes the kind of result this prompt aims for; real output varies by tool, model and run.

Ten hooks, each with an opening line, first-shot visual, hook type, audience assumption and failure risk, grouped into three testing buckets.

Expected format: Numbered list of 10 hooks with five fields each, then three buckets.

How to use it

  1. Pick 3-4 hooks from different buckets and produce them.
  2. Run them as a structured test.
  3. Replace any social-proof placeholders with real evidence.

Limitations

  • Hooks are hypotheses; the model cannot predict performance.
  • Do not use unverified claims or fake social proof in any hook.
