Your story is powerful. Your first line needs to prove it.

  

You can write the most powerful thing you've ever said. But if that first line doesn't grab them? They're already gone. 

No hook = no read. No read = no DM. No DM = no sale.

Most people are writing hooks that sound like nobody actually talks.

ChatGPT gives you opening lines like "triumph to transformation." This is an issue!

Your coach says "lead with value."

And you're sitting there with something real to say, something that could stop someone mid-scroll and it's getting nothing. No comments or DMs = No sales.

It's not your story. It's your opening line.

Here's the truth from 20 years in radio & TV… on breakfast radio, you had 10 seconds to hook someone before they changed the station. Ten seconds.

That's it.

Social media is no different.

A journalist's inbox is no different.

If that first line doesn't land, they're gone.
