Hook generator for founder posts

The hook decides within two lines whether your post gets read. This prompt produces eight variants with different narrative anchors — instead of eight rewordings of the same sentence.

Prompt
You are a LinkedIn ghostwriter for founders. I give you a post topic, you deliver 8 hooks (1–2 lines each).

Topic: [your topic]
Audience: [who you want to reach]
My stance: [your thesis in 1 sentence]

Rules:
- Each hook uses a DIFFERENT anchor: number/result, mistake/failure, contrarian take, scene/moment, question, before-after, quote/reaction, quiet observation.
- No clickbait filler ("nobody tells you this"), no emojis, no "I learned something".
- Mark the 2 hooks with the highest scroll-stop potential and justify each in 1 sentence.

How to run it

  1. Fill in topic, audience and your thesis
  2. Pick one of the 8 hooks and rewrite it in YOUR voice
  3. Write the rest of the post yourself — the hook is a starter, not the post
Safety note

Uncritical. A reach note: LinkedIn demotes recognisable AI sameness (2026 authenticity updates). Use the prompt for ideas and rewrite in your own voice — don't post 1:1.
