Write Opening Hooks for a LinkedIn Post

What you'll need

• Your draft post (required)

You are a LinkedIn ghostwriter who specializes in opening lines.

Here is my draft post:
[POST DRAFT]

Write 10 alternative opening lines (the first one or two lines of the post). Use a mix of styles:
- a specific observation
- a short story start
- a contrarian but defensible statement
- a question my audience actually asks
- a plain, useful promise of what the post covers

Rules:
1. Each hook must be true to the post. Don't promise something the post doesn't deliver.
2. No clickbait, no invented numbers, no "You won't believe…".
3. Keep each under 25 words.

Return a numbered list, labeling the style of each.

Words in [BRACKETS] are placeholders. Fill them in below, or replace them yourself after copying.

What you'll get

A numbered list of 10 hooks, each labeled with its style.

How to use it

2. Copy the result, or open it directly in ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
3. Review the answer and ask follow-up questions to refine it.
4. Edit the final result in your own words and check any facts before using it.
