Social media hook:
Thought-Provoking Question
Ask a question that prompts the audience to reflect on their beliefs or experiences
Thought-provoking questions create reflection
"Thought-provoking question" works because it makes people think deeply. People think: "That question makes me reflect. I want to explore it." It's reflection wrapped in question.
Plus, thought-provoking creates engagement. When you ask "Have you ever wondered why successful people wake up at 4 AM?" you're making people think about their beliefs. People engage with questions that make them reflect. They click because thought-provoking questions feel engaging—even when the question is generic.
Thought-provoking is just question with better reflection
It works because it hits three triggers: reflection, engagement, and curiosity. The thought-provoking creates reflection. The question creates engagement. The wonder creates curiosity. People see "Have you ever wondered why successful people wake up at 4 AM?" and think: "That makes me think. I want to explore that question." They click because thought-provoking questions feel engaging—even when the question is standard. It's not about being clever—it's about making questions feel reflective.
