Social media hook:
Celebrity Reference
Doing a celebrity's routine or technique with their video above yours. Leverages celebrity attention, people stop because they recognize the face, then stay to watch your version.
Why do celebrity references work?
"Celebrity reference" works because it leverages recognition. People think: "I know that person. Let me see what they're doing." It's familiarity wrapped in curiosity.
Plus, celebrity references create credibility. If a celebrity does it, it must be good. Even if the connection is tenuous, the association creates trust. People trust celebrities.
What makes celebrity references so attention-grabbing?
It works because it hits three triggers: recognition, credibility, and curiosity. The celebrity creates recognition. The association creates credibility. The reference creates curiosity. People see a celebrity doing something and think: "I know them. What are they doing?" They stop because they recognize the face. They stay because they're curious. It's not about being clever—it's about leveraging recognition. Plus, celebrity references are shareable. Nobody shares generic content. But "here's what [celebrity] does"? That's shareable. It's recognition wrapped in curiosity.

Visual Hooks work because people are visual creatures. When you show a celebrity doing something, they recognize it. Not because they're smart—because they're human and drawn to familiar faces. These hooks don't need to be clever. They just need to leverage recognition. The "celebrity reference" hook does exactly that—it uses familiar faces to grab attention.
