AI Youtube Hooks
The hooks we’re going to talk about today were pulled off of Youtube.
Why Youtube? Because that’s where I consistently see the strongest creatives.
However, these hooks can easily be adjusted for Facebook, email, VSLs, etc.
In fact, the gap is closing FAST between “ads”, “content” and “sales messages.”
You see more and more brands using weird scroll stopping shit in their actual
VSL leads. And it makes sense. Whatever gets attention.
There’s Two Kinds Of Attention
Targeted Attention
Talking specifically to your market. The exact people you want to attract.
Ideal customers.
Collateral Attention
They speak at their core market FIRST. But make the ad interesting
enough to where even less than ideal prospects are still sucked in.
What Is A Youtube Hook?
Given that users can typically skip ads after just 5 seconds on YouTube, these
precious moments are vital for advertisers to captivate your target audience.
Ultimately, the ad's success often relies on the strength of this initial hook. It’s the
make or break moment.
#2: Relevant to the Target Audience: Nobody wants to watch your ads. So your
ads need to feel PAINFUL to ignore. Simply put, you need to imply that watching
your ad will make your prospect’s life BETTER in some meaningful way. And
skipping your ad will make their life WORSE.
Two Ways Of Calling Out To Your Prospect:
Direct And Indirect
Here are two examples from the dating niche to help better understand
direct and indirect callouts:
Direct Callout Hook Example: “So you like a girl and want to go on a date with
her. But the only problem is when you try to text her, she takes forever to respond
or worse.”
>> This directly addresses those facing this specific situation, without adding any
complexities.
Indirect Callout Example: “Online dating never worked for me, at first I thought
maybe i'm just too f***in ugly, but then somehow over the last year…”
>> This is indirect because it expresses a sentiment many can relate to, without
directly asking, "Do you feel online dating isn't working for you?" It subtly
connects with viewers who have harbored similar thoughts.
In essence, direct and indirect callouts are the two main strategies you'll observe
in YouTube ads. These techniques encapsulate the primary methods of engaging
potential customers on the platform.
14 High-Performing YouTube Ad
Hooks:
These hooks work for 90-95% of YouTube ads. It's rare to find an ad that doesn't
fall into one of these hooks. They are the foundation of effective ads.
These following hooks are battle-tested, they have been tried and proven to work
time and time again.
Again, the magic often lies in the first few seconds of your ad. You can get
transformative results just by tweaking the beginning of your video ads. The core
message of the ad remains the same; only the initial seconds/hook change. And
that can make all the difference.
- Hook #1 -
This is a basic and prevalent type of hook, especially evident in the "make money
online" niche. It's effective for claims promising substantial results to prospects.
Hook Goal/Purpose:
The primary aim of this hook is to present proof that you can solve your
audience's problems. This proof can manifest as customer or student success
stories or personal, company, or guru success stories. Using customer success
on top of personal success usually yields better results.
If you lack customer proof, you can begin with personal proof, or borrow proof
from other businesses' publicly published results or reference established/proven
facts.
For example, to use proof from outside sources, we say "70% of youtube
searches start with how to...". Trying to show people that YouTube is a great
source of traffic because you can harness the power of intent targeting.
If you have good student stories to share, the student story hook can work great,
especially if your own story isn't that relatable. Sharing the story of a student or of
several students can help more and more potential customers relate to what you
are trying to help them with!
Explanation: This is for a brand called Jump Cut, and they are talking about the
significant result that Gianna was able to achieve using their services.
You know this young man just texting me right now he took action with my
program - which most people don't.
He's just 26 years old he's been working the job for a while minimum wage and
he took action…
Explanation: Indicating a young man's success after taking action with the
mentioned program.
He used to work at a local coffee shop making coffee for people then he took his
passion for music production and created a youtube channel where he makes
music tutorials without even showing his face.
Explanation: Highlighting a student's transition from a coffee shop job to a
successful YouTube career.
This is where the advertiser tells their own success story to make people
interested in their products or services. They want to show that they can help
customers with their goals by showing awards or certifications they have
achieved.
It's fun to drive up here in the Hollywood hills…but you know what I like a lot
more than materialistic things? Knowledge.
In fact, I'm a lot more proud of these seven new bookshelves that I had to get
installed to hold 2000 new books that I bought.
Three years ago i was thinking about how to make more passive income online
so that i could work from anywhere and i was walking through times square in
New York city on a sunday afternoon it was my first time in the city and i saw one
of those crazy sign spinners and all of a sudden it hit me no i wasn't gonna
become a sign spinner”
Additional Insights:
If possible, addressing objections within this hook can enhance its effectiveness.
Throwing testimonials in various formats (FB screenshots, quick video clips with
quotes under them, text messages) can significantly boost the impact of this
hook type.
The most important part of the Youtube ad is the "Hook." That refers to the
opening of the video ad. Specifically the first 6 seconds. Because that's the
time where the audience decides whether to watch the ad or skip the ad.
So the first 6 seconds needs to be especially compelling. It needs to create
massive curiosity and desire, so members of our target market want to
continue watching the ad.
And today, you’re going to write a YouTube ad hook called "The Proof or “Let
Me Show You How” Hook"
The primary aim of this hook is to present proof that you can solve your
audience's most pressing problems. This proof can manifest as customer or
student success stories or personal, company, or guru success stories. Using
customer success on top of personal success usually yields better results.
If you lack customer proof, you can begin with personal proof, or borrow proof
from other businesses' publicly published results or reference established/proven
facts. For example, to use proof from outside sources, we say "70% of youtube
searches start with how to...". Trying to show people that YouTube is a great
source of traffic because you can harness the power of intent targeting.
Here are examples of highly successful ads that leverage these hooks in
different niches:
A few important details: Show proof that your other customers are satisfied and
have achieved great results using your products or services to pique their
interest.
If you have good student stories to share, the student story hook can work great,
especially if your own story isn't that relatable. Sharing the story of a student or of
several students can help more and more potential customers relate to what you
are trying to help them with!

Now, I want you to adapt those YouTube ad hooks for the following market. Please stick
to the structure and underlying psychological principles. (For example, do not include
any strange greetings).
However, ensure that you adapt any promises so that the new hooks makes sense. (No
one should be able to recognize that it was taken from the previous YouTube ad hooks).
Please DO NOT make the NEW hooks longer or shorter than the provided example
hooks above.
Guidelines:
Be direct. Write in an appropriate tone for our target market (Write how a typical
member of our target market would ACTUALLY talk in casual conversation while out at
lunch with a close friend).
IMPORTANT: Write using simple, conversational language. At a 3rd grade reading level.
Short, punchy, easy to read sentences and action oriented. Short paragraphs. Limit
words with more than 3 syllables.
Write using active, visual, action-oriented words. Limit/avoid passive constructions.
Be VIVID, DESCRIPTIVE, VISCERAL, VISUAL and ULTRA-SPECIFIC when describing
benefits. Do not mention anything vague.

promise. Remove any fluff and focus on the core message.
Our prospects should be able to see, feel, and experience the situation you’re
describing… as if it’s really happening right now. It needs to impact them emotionally.
Anything less is a failure.
Optimize each sentence for maximum emotional impact.
Include vivid, specific details that create a strong emotional connection.
Ensure the tone is relatable and speaks directly to the audience's experiences and
feelings.

you to focus on generating the most compelling YouTube ad hooks possible. Without
worrying about what comes next.

- Hook #6 -
Example Demonstrations:
These examples illustrate how a provocative or abrasive statement can draw the
viewer's attention and make them curious enough to engage further with the content.
The success of this hook often lies in its unexpectedness and the emotions it evokes.

The most important part of the Youtube ad is the "Hook." That refers to the
opening of the video ad. Specifically the first 6 seconds. Because that's the
time where the audience decides whether to watch the ad or skip the ad.
So the first 6 seconds needs to be especially compelling. It needs to create
massive curiosity and desire, so members of our target market want to
continue watching the ad.
Hook Goal/Purpose:
This hook is designed to make a bold, unexpected statement to catch the prospect's
attention immediately. By invoking curiosity or even a hint of controversy, the viewer is
enticed to watch further. It's crucial, however, to ensure that any explicit content, like
swear words, is censored or bleeped out, especially on platforms like YouTube, to avoid
any content violations.
Example Demonstrations:
These examples illustrate how a provocative or abrasive statement can draw the
viewer's attention and make them curious enough to engage further with the content.
The success of this hook often lies in its unexpectedness and the emotions it evokes.
Explanation: This is abrasive as it directly calls out the viewer, implying that they are
out of touch. It creates an immediate reaction, either defensive or curious, both of which
can drive further engagement.

Ensure the tone is relatable and speaks directly to the audience's experiences and
feelings.
MOST IMPORTANT: Do NOT artificially try to “complete” the hook. I’m going to attach
this hook to the rest of the email. And it will all make sense. So for now, I JUST want
you to focus on generating the most compelling YouTube ad hooks possible. Without
worrying about what comes next.
Write me 20 new variations of Youtube ad hooks for my market, following the principles

Write me 20 new variations of Youtube ad hooks for my market, following the principles
above. Remember, these hooks are designed to drive maximum engagement from our
target prospects. If 100 of our ideal prospects watch the first 5 seconds of our video, at

memorable impression right at the outset. By making a strong, eye-catching statement,
this hook immediately captures the viewer's attention. After making the claim, it's
