Social media hook:
Fill in the Blank
Encourage completion
Blanks demand completion
"Fill in the blank" works because it creates participation. People think: "I want to fill that in. Let me think of my answer." It's engagement wrapped in interaction.
Plus, blanks create investment. When you ask people to complete a sentence, they're invested. They've thought about their answer. That investment creates engagement. People love participating—especially when it's easy.
Participation creates investment
It works because it hits two triggers: participation and investment. The blank creates participation. The completion creates investment. People see "My biggest challenge with [topic] is ______" and think: "I know my answer. Let me fill that in." They click because participation creates engagement—even when the blank is generic. It's not about being clever—it's about making people think.

Interactive & Engagement Hooks work because people want to participate. When you use fill-in-the-blank, you create interaction. Not because they're smart—because they're human and want to be involved. These hooks don't need to be clever. They just need to create participation. The "fill in the blank" hook does exactly that—it makes people want to complete the sentence.
