FAQ
What is a good TikTok hook for gadgets?
One that shows the product already in use or the result in the first second, names a specific problem or person, and never opens with a logo or a greeting. The hooks that sell gadgets open on the product doing its job, speak to one specific buyer and never start with a logo.
How do I use these templates?
Replace the brackets with your product and audience, and match the first frame to the line: what people hear and what they see in the first 1.5 seconds must say the same thing.
Can I get hooks written for my exact product?
Yes: the free hook generator writes 10 hooks for any product from these patterns, and the free hook analyzer scores the hook you already have and suggests 3 stronger versions.
