ChatGPT Can Write Reels Hooks. Want my Prompt?

Published on 10 May 2025 at 08:00

πŸŽ₯ Real talk:

You could have the prettiest product, best advice, or slickest transitions…
But if your Reel doesn’t hook people in the first 2 seconds, they swipe past it faster than you can say “algorithm.”

The good news? You don’t have to be a copywriter to write killer hooks.

I use ChatGPT to write my Reels hooks - and it saves me hours a week.

Here’s the exact prompt I use (plus how to tweak it for your business).

Today’s Business Example: A Handmade Jewellery Brand

You’ve filmed a gorgeous video of a new necklace design.
Lighting’s perfect. Music’s vibey. Product looks beautiful.
But when you post it… the views stall.

Why?
Because the hook didn’t stop the scroll.

Let’s fix that with AI.

βœ… What Makes a Strong Hook?

A good hook:

  • Creates curiosity 🧠

  • Promises a benefit βœ…

  • Or triggers emotion ❀️

It can be:

  • A bold question

  • A surprising statement

  • A problem your audience relates to

🧠 The Prompt I Use in ChatGPT:

“Write 10 Reels hook lines for a [your business] making content about [topic]. Hooks should be short, emotional, and make people want to keep watching. Avoid sounding robotic. Think like TikTok/Instagram copy.”

Example prompt:

“Write 10 Reels hooks for a handmade jewellery brand promoting a new necklace design. The tone is playful and elegant. Include curiosity, style appeal, or emotional triggers.”

✨ Example Hooks ChatGPT Might Generate:

  • “This necklace was inspired by heartbreak (and healing).”

  • “I nearly scrapped this design… now it’s my bestseller.”

  • “POV: You wear this to brunch and get so many compliments.”

  • “How I turn leftover silver into luxury.”

  • “This is what handmade actually means.”

That’s Reels gold - and it only takes a minute.

βœ… Bonus: Use These Hooks Beyond Reels

Take your best hooks and turn them into:

  • Carousel openers

  • Email subject lines

  • LinkedIn post intros

  • Pinterest pin text

Same line. New format. More visibility.
