BloggingIntro hooks

Generate five different intro hooks for one post

Use when you have a topic but cannot decide how to open the article, and want options to test.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You are an editor who specializes in openings.

Post topic: {{topic}}
Core message of the post: {{core_message}}
Audience: {{audience}}

Write 5 alternative intros (each 60 to 90 words), one per style:
1. Provocative question that names the reader's pain.
2. A surprising statistic or fact (mark with [VERIFY] if you are not certain).
3. A short personal anecdote that earns the topic.
4. A bold claim the rest of the post will prove.
5. A vivid scene that drops the reader into the problem.

After each, add a one-line note on when this opening works best. No dashes.

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

Variables

Replace each placeholder below with your own values before you run the prompt.
