Eight hook formulas that work
Click one to copy its pattern.
Testing a hook
Paste the post with each hook into the preview and look at the phone view. Can a stranger tell what the post is about and why it matters to them from what shows above the fold? If not, cut words until they can. Avoid hooks that promise more than the post delivers — the tap is worth nothing if people leave disappointed.
Questions people ask
What is a hook on LinkedIn?
The first line or two of your post — the only part people see in the feed before “…more”. Its job is to make the reader tap. A hook under about 70 characters fits comfortably above the fold on phones.
What makes a good LinkedIn hook?
Specificity and tension. A concrete number, a surprising admission, or a claim that challenges common advice. It must be true and paid off by the post — clickbait that the post doesn’t deliver trains people to scroll past you.
How many hooks should I try?
Write at least five and pick the one you’d tap on yourself. The generator gives eight across different styles so you can compare.
Should the hook be followed by a line break?
Usually yes. A blank line after the hook makes it stand alone, and the second line (the “re-hook”) lands right at the phone fold.
