How to Get People to Watch Your Reels (or TikToks) - 10 Hooks to Use Right Now

In this post I am going to teach you THE best way to get people to watch your Reels on Instagram.

Ready for it? You need a hook. You have about two seconds (maybe less) to give someone a reason to keep watch, and that’s what a good hook can do. This is a bold opening statement, phrase, or question that piques someone's interest enough to stay.

You can add your hook to the caption and/or on the screen.

Here are 10 Hooks to use in your Reels this week!

  1. You'll never guess what I did to ________.

  2. I can't believe I'm sharing this...

  3. You know you're a _____ when...

  4. {5} Ways I {Accomplished ____}

  5. {10} Tools/Software I Use to ________

  6. Hey, ________! (Call out the specific viewer. Like, "Hey, Moms!", "Calling all cat lovers!")

  7. The Secret to... ________

  8. Don't do _______ until you do _______

  9. How to _______ in _______(Time, ex. 10 seconds/30 Minutes/5 Days)
