50+ Viral Hooks for Videos, Reels, Shorts, TikToks - 2026

Free plug and play viral hooks + ChatGPT prompt

This is a PDF with 50+ fill in the blank hooks and a simple AI prompt that helps you spin up fresh ideas for Reels, TikToks, Shorts, Stories, and carousels in under 5 minutes.

Back in 2023, I released the first version of this guide.

First of all, thank you so much. It became a quiet hit with a lot of downloads. 🙏

I have tested and used these hooks on my own content.

Hours of trying, tweaking, and watching what actually made people stop scrolling.

This 2.0 version is a clean upgrade of what already worked.

This is what you get

✅ The exact 3 ingredient hook patterns I use with my clients so their videos stop getting ignored and start getting watched.

✅ 50+ updated, fill in the blank hook templates you can drop straight onto your next video without writing from scratch.

✅ A simple Hook Engine AI prompt that guesses your niche, asks two easy questions, then writes 9 to 12 new hooks for you in one go.

✅ A free link to my custom Hook Engine GPT so you can generate hooks on autopilot anytime without remembering the prompt.

“I used 3 hooks from this guide for my next batch of Reels and one of them did 5x my usual views. The best part is I did not have to overthink the caption or the intro anymore. I just plug my offer into the template and record.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Carla, personal trainer

“As a spa owner, I always felt awkward on camera and never knew what to say in the first 3 seconds. These hooks gave me simple lines I could read off my phone. My Stories finally started getting replies from actual clients instead of random views.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Melissa, local wellness studio owner

“I have bought so many content idea products that were just vague prompts. This one is different. The hooks are sharp, specific, and the AI prompt is stupid simple. I use it once a week to batch hooks for all my Shorts and carousels.”

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Brian, creator and part-time photographer
