Social media hook:
Reasons Why
Explain multiple factors
Reasons why create understanding
"Reasons why" works because it promises explanation. People think: "They'll explain why. I want to understand the reasons." It's clarity wrapped in explanation.
Plus, reasons create investment. When you say "7 reasons why your competitors are beating you," you're promising multiple explanations. People want to understand why things happen. They click because reasons why feel valuable—even when the reasons are obvious.
Reasons why are just explanations with better structure
It works because it hits three triggers: explanation, structure, and investment. The reasons create explanation. The why creates structure. The multiple creates investment. People see "7 reasons why your competitors are beating you" and think: "I want to understand why. I want to see all the reasons." They click because reasons why feel valuable—even when the reasons are standard. It's not about being clever—it's about making explanations feel structured.

List & Number Hooks work because people want organized information. When you list reasons why, you create structure. Not because they're smart—because they're human and want to understand. These hooks don't need to be clever. They just need to promise explanation. The "reasons why" hook does exactly that—it makes explanations feel structured.
