Ive just learned about a method called "Credibility Hook"​


Normal Hook

"This is the most common mistake that I see people make as a personal trainer"

Credibility Hook

"I’ve been a personal trainer for around 20 years now. I’ve trained everyone from Olympic athletes, NFL Players, and the biggest CEOs in the world all the way down to, most importantly, the common working man. And no matter who my clients were or whatever they did, they all made the exact same beginner mistake."

So what is a credibility hook?​

A credibility-building hook quickly establishes the speaker's expertise and trustworthiness before diving into the main content. It often includes mentions of the speaker’s qualifications, experiences, or notable achievements that are relevant to the topic. This approach is designed to be used in Tips & tricks videos , where the avarage hook is "heres the..." or "this is my..."

If your like me , starting out and you dont have a large follower base , NOBODY will listen to you , thats why its important to give them a reason WHY to watch , and this kind of acts as a risk reversal too,

Real Video Example HERE

Risk Reversal Strategy Teaser​

One common strategy you can use , mixing it with your hook is the negative assumption.
if your hook is: ”Heres a $1,000,000 boring business idea that can replace your day job
and your interest peak would be —- “and before you say anything no it is not crypto or dropshipping… This side hustle actually works”

Im collecting donations in the form of likes to fund my next post, the tiktok formula ive spent 100s of hours on is almost done.

Im 17 with a startup called satinaa.com
tiktok is @satinaa.abayas
i will be constantly testing new strategies , different editing styles , different types of people , until i crack the full code. and when i do i will give all the value here for free as a thank you to MJ DeMarco , because if i didnt read his book 1 year ago , i would have been going to university right now , living a scripted life.
