You already know that strong hooks are one of the biggest things separating content that gets ignored from content that gets watched, shared, and remembered. But today I want to take this a step deeper because most business owners think a hook is only the text at the beginning of a reel. And honestly, that's just one piece of it. There are actually four different places you can hook someone inside of one piece of content. And once you understand this, you'll start seeing viral content completely differently.
