The Secret to Your First 1K Views 🚀

Yesterday was packed with calls…

I spoke with seasoned creators and complete beginners alike.

One thing stood out:

many struggle to hit their first 1k views.

The main takeaway?

It all comes down to your HOOK.

Here's what makes a killer hook:

1. Strong visual element:

Use a split-screen approach

You are on one side, captions in the middle.

This is the style I use, it may be worth a try for you.

The key is to always have you something showing what you are talking about.

2. Power words

Add a "headline" above your captions

Example: "This is wild" or "You won't believe this"

This is another highly underused strategy that only the top creators use to grab attention.

3. Value promise:

Summarize your content's value in ONE sentence

Instead of "Check out this AI tool"

Try: "This AI tool will double your productivity in 5 minutes. Here's how..."

Remember: People scroll FAST.

You need to grab attention and promise value IMMEDIATELY.

Your content might be gold,

but if your hook doesn't shine…

no one will stick around to see it.

“If your viewer finds gold directly they will continue digging, but if they only find dirt it makes sense to change location.“ - The best part needs to be in your hook.

Key points to remember:

• Combine strong voice hook with eye-catching visuals

• That split-screen approach? It's not just for looks - it's an attention magnet

• Use power words in your caption headline

• Always make a clear value promise upfront

You can have identical content in two videos,

but the one with the stronger hook will always win.

Take your most valuable point and sum it up in one punchy sentence at the start.

It's not just about what you say - it's how you present it visually too.

Think of your hook as a movie trailer & thumbnail.

It should excite, intrigue, and leave them wanting more.
