YouTube script hook prompt

Nov 5, 2026 · Writing Prompts

Prompt
Write 5 different opening hooks (under 25 words each) for a YouTube video about [topic]. Use a different style for each: a question, a surprising fact, a short story, a bold promise and a common mistake.

The first seconds decide if viewers stay. Asking for several hook styles lets you pick what suits your voice.

Why this prompt works

  • Five styles gives real choice instead of five similar lines.
  • A word limit keeps the hook punchy.
  • Including a common mistake hook triggers curiosity.

How to adapt it

Pick one hook, then ask the AI to write a 60-second intro that follows it. Only promise what the video really delivers.
