Question 1

How do I write a UGC hook that stops the scroll on TikTok?

Accepted Answer

The highest-converting UGC hooks use a formula — POV ("POV: you've been avoiding your finances for three years"), "Wait for it…" (delayed reveal), "Nobody talks about…" (insider knowledge), or "Stop scrolling if you…" (direct address). Each triggers a different emotional response: curiosity, FOMO, relief, or identity. Use this free hook generator to get 7 scroll-stopping hooks tailored to your product and content format in seconds.

Question 2

What makes a good UGC video hook for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts?

Accepted Answer

A good UGC video hook works in under 3 seconds — that's the median time before a viewer swipes. Effective hooks contain a question, tension, or pattern interrupt — not a statement of fact. "POV: you finally found an app that actually works" works. "This app is great" doesn't. Match the hook formula to your content format: talking head pairs with POV and insider-knowledge hooks; green screen works best with "Wait for it…" and proof hooks.
