14 Fucking Awesome Ad
Hooks You Can Run In Any
Market
Even MORE so now, where people have endless content options. The hooks
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.

Talking specifically to your market. The exact people you want to attract. Ideal
customers.
Collateral Attention
Mass appeal. General human interest. Passing curiosity. The impossible to ignore
story.

generate both.
They speak at their core market FIRST. But make the ad interesting enough to
where even less than ideal prospects are still sucked in.

A YouTube ad hook refers to the initial few seconds of a YouTube advertisement. Its
purpose is to swiftly capture the viewer's attention, enticing them to either watch the full
ad or engage with it before they select the "SKIP AD" option.
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.

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.
wwwwww.i.mimaarkrkeetit
ningg.c.coouursrseess
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.
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!
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.

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

- Hook #6 -
For example, a provocative statement about commonly accepted practices in a particular industry
or niche can lead viewers to rethink their understanding or beliefs and engage more with the
content.
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.
Explanation: By directly opposing a commonly accepted view (that SEO is essential), this
statement forces the viewer to reconsider their beliefs and engage more with the content.
PROMPT:

who specializes in writing ultra-compelling, attention-grabbing, and

The most important part of the Youtube ad is the "Hook." That refers to the

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.

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.
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.
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
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 least 99 of
them should want to CONTINUE watching the video. Anything less is considered a failure.
Remember to explore the EMOTIONAL impact of how this problem/solution impacts our
prospects in their daily lives. Be specific and visceral.

Also, since these are VIDEO ADS, please include suggested VISUALS to accompany these
hooks. These visuals needs to grab attention immediately. Things that are weird, unusual, a
“pattern interrupt” from what our prospects expect to see tend to work best.
- Hook #12 -
Hook Goal/Purpose:
The purpose of the Open Loop Hook is to create an unfinished narrative or pose a question that
leaves a gap in the viewer's understanding. This intentional omission incites curiosity, ensuring
that the only way to satiate it is by watching the entire ad. Coupling this with a product or
service as the answer or solution can significantly boost engagement and conversion.
I'm going to answer that question in 30 seconds let's start that clock. hi if you don't know who I
am my name is Aaron Anastasi Anastasia…
Explanation: This example creates suspense by posing a question and then briefly shifting the
focus to introduce the speaker, ensuring the viewer remains hooked to learn the answer.

ningg.c.coouursrseess
Explanation: Here, the speaker hints at an undisclosed reason, stimulating the viewer's
curiosity and enticing them to continue watching in hopes of uncovering the mystery.
Explanation: The ad tantalizes the viewer with a promise of revealing a secret, yet
strategically delays the reveal to maintain interest and engagement.
Explanation: The question posed at the start sparks curiosity in viewers who might have the
same query. The claim of having found a secret further intensifies the viewer's interest, urging
them to watch the entire ad.
Explanation: Travel enthusiasts would be intrigued to know about such a unique place. The
open-ended question at the end builds anticipation and ensures viewers stick around to find out
more.
Additional Insights:
By introducing a story or a question without an immediate resolution, the Open Loop Hook
taps into the viewer's inherent desire for closure. By delaying the satisfactory ending or
answer until later in the ad or even after a specific action (like clicking on a link), advertisers
can harness the power of FOMO, compelling viewers to remain engaged and more likely to
respond to the call-to-action.

ningg.c.coouursrseess
Hook Goal/Purpose:
The primary goal of this hook is to open with a striking and audacious statement that ignites the
viewer's curiosity. This method ensures that the audience's attention is immediately seized. By
hinting at revealing more information or providing proof later in the ad, viewers are compelled
to continue watching. It's pivotal to ensure the claim, although bold, is believable and can be
substantiated in the subsequent sections of the ad.
Explanation: The bold claim about government theft instantly grabs attention, making the
viewer curious about the details and the new perspective presented.

directly address the viewer's interests. Once their curiosity is piqued, the delivery of further
details and the final call-to-action should be paced appropriately for maximum engagement and
conversion.
