There’s almost nothing we love more than a content marketing campaign that really converts! One of the first things you need to make that happen is a strong hook that is going to immediately get people’s attention.

Whether that’s for a Facebook ad, an email subject line, the topic of your lead magnet, your sales video, your webinar, your YouTube video… you get the picture… you need a catchy idea that is going to be relevant and interesting and attract the attention and curiosity of your IDEAL clients enough to get them clicking the link or watching the video or opening the email or whatever it is you want them to do next.

But great hooks don’t always just pop into your mind - sometimes it takes a bit of work to come up with a good hook and that’s what we want to help you with.

In this episode your hosts, Suzi Dafnis and Michelle Falzon, share 6 ideas to give you inspiration for your hooks.
