The 5 Hook Types Full Breakdown

Five hook patterns map directly onto five cognitive triggers. Use them on rotation, not at random.

  • Curiosity gap — opens a loop the reader needs to close
  • Identity resonance — 'this is about me'
  • Pain naming — 'finally, someone said it'
  • Counterintuitive — 'wait, what?'
  • Specific number — 'this is real, not vibes'
