🌟 Negative Hooks 🌟

People love controversy and using a seemingly negative line as the hook to your video could help keep your audience stick around to watch the entire thing. Some example negative hooks below:
💡 “Don’t you just hate it when…”
💡 “This is the number one mistake I see people make when it comes to…”

TIKTOK BRAND OF THE WEEK

They cleverly relate every video back to a product without pushing any sales messaging; at least not seriously. They play with satire and comedy and so many brands could take notes from their approach.
