Great Vibecode Hook Starters
Hey everyone, Riley here. Over the past few months I've grown my YouTube from 60k - 135k and I've done this with Really powerful hooks. Here I will help you write really strong hooks for your youtube videos.
Hook 1:
I can't believe how easy it was to create an app with this new AI tool.
I built an app that [description]
And I didn't even write a single line of code.
In this video, I'll show you
exactly how I created a mobile app with a simple text prompt
edited and iterated until it was an app I loved
how I got it on the Apple App Store
and how I did this without writing a single line of code
Let's dive into the video

Some other things to follow
Best Ways to Script a Video (Concise Script Outline)
Do the Packaging First
Start with your thumbnail and title.
Use the "BENS" System: Make it Big (promising big results), Easy (content feels accessible), New (present old ideas in a fresh way), and Safe (viewers feel their time is not wasted).
Write a Strong Hook
Open with something that instantly grabs attention:
A compelling question
A bold statement
A short story that drops viewers into the action
Set Up the Value
Briefly explain what viewers will learn and why it matters.
Address the top 1-3 questions your audience will have based on your thumbnail/title.
Open a Curiosity Loop
Tease an interesting story, fact, or result that will be answered/addressed later in the video.
Make Your Points (Structure the Body)
Present 3 main points (or as few as possible) to keep things memorable.
For each point:
Start with a mini-hook (a question, story, or statement).
Do not give away the answer immediately. Build up to the payoff using:
Stories or anecdotes
Comparisons or metaphors
Examples/case studies
Use Stories to Make Points Memorable
Embed a story, analogy, or relatable example for each point to hold viewer attention.
Let your audience connect the dots themselves before stating the key takeaway.
End with a Rehook and Call to Action
Never simply end the video.
Rehook the audience by teasing a next video or topic that solves a new, related problem.
Clearly direct them to what to watch next.
Summary Format:
Packaging (Thumbnail/Title “BENS”)
Hook (First seconds)
Setup (State 1-3 key promises)
Curiosity Loop (Tease an answer/result)
Main Points (Each introduced, explored, and paid off with story/metaphor)
Rehooks between points as needed
Conclusion: Rehook → Setup next video → Call to action
This structure is designed to keep viewers engaged throughout by layering hooks, delaying payoffs, and consistently generating curiosity.
