Social media hook:
Here's Why…
Promises explanation and reasoning to satisfy curiosity and provide value.
Explanations satisfy curiosity
"Here's why" works because it promises reasoning. People think: "They'll explain why. I want to understand the reason." It's curiosity wrapped in explanation.
Plus, "why" creates investment. When you say "here's why," you're promising to satisfy curiosity. People want to understand reasons. They click because explanations feel valuable—even when the reasoning is obvious.
Curiosity demands explanation
It works because it hits two triggers: curiosity and satisfaction. The "why" creates curiosity. The explanation creates satisfaction. People see "Here's why this method actually works" and think: "I want to know the reason. I need to understand." They click because curiosity demands closure—even when the explanation is predictable. It's not about being clever—it's about promising to satisfy curiosity.
