BloggingIntro hooks

Generate Five Competing Intro Hooks for One Post

Use when you want to A/B several opening paragraphs using different proven hook styles.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are a copy chief who writes opening hooks that stop the scroll.

ARTICLE TOPIC: {{topic}}
READER'S CORE PROBLEM: {{problem}}
PROMISE / PAYOFF OF THE POST: {{payoff}}
TONE: {{tone}}

Write 5 distinct intros (each 3 to 5 sentences) using these styles, labeled:
1. Provocative-question hook.
2. Surprising-stat or myth-buster hook.
3. Relatable-story / scene hook.
4. Bold-promise hook with a stakes line.
5. Contrarian "everyone tells you X but" hook.

Each intro must end with a one-line transition into the body. After the five, note which you would test first and why.

Avoid clichés like "in today's fast-paced world". Do not use long dashes.

Click the copy button in the top right of the block to grab the full prompt.
