Visual Hooks

Bold text creates interruption

"Text overlay bold" works because it breaks visual patterns. People think: "That text is bold and large. I need to read it." It's attention wrapped in visual.

Plus, bold creates urgency. When you use "STOP – You need to see this," you're creating visual interruption. People respond to bold text. They click because text overlay bold feels urgent—even when the message is standard.

Bold text is just visual with better interruption

It works because it hits three triggers: interruption, attention, and urgency. The bold creates interruption. The overlay creates attention. The STOP creates urgency. People see "STOP – You need to see this" and think: "That's bold. I need to see what this is." They click because text overlay bold feels urgent—even when the message is just marketing. It's not about being clever—it's about making visuals feel interruptive.

About Visual Hooks

Visual Hooks work because people are visual creatures. When you use bold text overlays, you create interruption. Not because they're smart—because they're human and respond to visual breaks. These hooks don't need to be clever. They just need to interrupt. The "text overlay bold" hook does exactly that—it makes visuals feel interruptive.
