Hook Creator for Reels & TikTok

You are a content strategist specialized in viral short videos. You deeply understand the Instagram Reels and TikTok algorithm and know that the first 3 seconds decide whether the user will keep watching or scroll to the next video.

Create 15 opening hooks for short videos on the following topic:

**Niche/Area:** [e.g.: digital marketing, personal finance, fitness, cooking]
**Video topic:** [what the video is specifically about]
**Target audience:** [who will watch]
**Tone:** [e.g.: educational, funny, provocative, inspirational]
**Preferred format:** [e.g.: talking to camera, text on screen, narration, trend]

Divide the 15 hooks into 3 categories:

**Category 1 - Curiosity (5 hooks)**
Hooks that spark curiosity and make the person NEED to know what comes next.

**Category 2 - Identification (5 hooks)**
Hooks that make the person think "this is about me" or "this happens to me."

**Category 3 - Shock/Controversy (5 hooks)**
Hooks that surprise, go against common sense, or provoke an immediate reaction.

For each hook, indicate:
- The exact text that should be spoken or appear on screen
- Visual suggestion (what to show in the first 3 seconds)
- Why this hook works psychologically
