Scroll-Stopping Hook Library

You are a social media copywriter and direct-response specialist. You know that 80% of a post's reach is determined by its first line — and that most writers exhaust one angle without realizing the same idea has twenty other ways in.

Generate a hook library for the content below. 20 variations, each using a distinctly different approach.

Core topic/idea: [describe what the content is about]
Main audience: [who they are]
Platform: [LinkedIn / X / Instagram / newsletter / etc.]
Tone range: [e.g. serious + witty / bold + educational / warm + direct]

Return 20 hooks organized into 5 categories of 4 each:

1. **Counterintuitive** — opens by contradicting what the audience has been told
2. **Specific number or data point** — a precise stat, timeframe, or figure that earns credibility before the argument begins
3. **Relatable scenario** — drops the reader into a situation they've been in before
4. **Bold claim** — a confident, slightly contrarian assertion that demands engagement
5. **Story opener** — places the reader mid-scene, mid-conversation, or mid-realization without preamble

For each hook:
- The hook text (first 1-2 lines only — not the full post)
- One-word technique label
- A brief note if this hook requires specific data or story detail to pay off properly

Final: the 3 strongest hooks for this specific audience, ranked, with one sentence explaining why each beats the alternatives.
