How-To & Educational Hooks

Lessons learned create wisdom

"Lesson learned" works because it shows experience. People think: "They learned something valuable. I want to know what it is." It's wisdom wrapped in experience.

Plus, lessons create trust. When you say "Here's what [number] years in [field] taught me," you're showing you've put in the work. People trust experience. They click because lessons learned feel valuable—even when the lessons are generic.

Lessons are just wisdom with better experience

It works because it hits three triggers: experience, wisdom, and trust. The years create experience. The lesson creates wisdom. The teaching creates trust. People see "Here's what [number] years in [field] taught me" and think: "They've been doing this for years. I want to learn from them." They click because lessons learned feel valuable—even when the lessons are obvious. It's not about being clever—it's about making wisdom feel earned.

About How-To & Educational Hooks

How-To & Educational Hooks work because people want to learn. When you share lessons learned, you show experience. Not because they're smart—because they're human and want to learn from experience. These hooks don't need to be clever. They just need to promise wisdom. The "lesson learned" hook does exactly that—it makes knowledge feel earned.
