Direct Address Hooks

Personal address creates connection

"Personal address" works because it feels targeted. People think: "They're talking directly to me. This is for people like me." It's connection wrapped in targeting.

Plus, personal creates relatability. When you say "This is for you if you've ever felt [emotion]," you're naming their experience. People want to feel seen. They click because personal address feels relevant—even when the targeting is broad.

Personal address is just targeting with better connection

It works because it hits three triggers: targeting, connection, and relatability. The "for you" creates targeting. The emotion creates connection. The "if you've ever felt" creates relatability. People see "This is for you if you've ever felt [emotion]" and think: "I have felt that. This is for me." They click because personal address feels relevant—even when the targeting is universal. It's not about being clever—it's about making content feel personal.

About Direct Address Hooks

Direct Address Hooks work because people respond to direct communication. When you use personal address, you create connection. Not because they're smart—because they're human and want to feel seen. These hooks don't need to be clever. They just need to feel personal. The "personal address" hook does exactly that—it makes content feel targeted.
