Here are a few effective ad hooks and content ideas, the top Google Marketing Live 2026 takeaways, and new books for entrepreneurs:
Social Media Trends For Info Marketers
Here are a few viral video hooks and content ideas to get more views and leads:
- “If You Have $[Specific Amount]” hooks viewers while qualifying the audience by net worth or liquidity. Anyone who has that amount sitting around feels directly addressed.
Grant Cardone uses this in “If You Have $50K WATCH THIS”. In fact, he frequently uses $50k in his other videos to attract his target audience.
Use this hook when your message applies to a specific financial threshold, business stage, or audience segment. Naming who the content is for does as much work as the content itself.
This is especially relevant in paid advertising, as it allows the algorithm to find the right people who are likely to qualify for your offer.
Here’s an example: “If You Have 10,000 Email Subscribers WATCH THIS” - “She Made $[Huge Number] in Seconds” stacks two things that shouldn’t coexist: an enormous outcome and a timeframe so short it sounds like a glitch. The brain can’t process that combination without watching the video to resolve it.
Gary Vee uses this in “She made $8,000,000 in 2 seconds”. Eight million dollars alone is impressive, but eight million dollars in two seconds sounds like a story.
Use this hook when you have a result that sounds almost impossible on its own, and pairing it with a compressed timeframe makes it feel even less believable (but intriguing).
Here’s an example: “I Closed 100 Clients in 2 Hours With This One Email” - “Watch This If You’re Addicted To [Relatable Weakness]” grabs the viewers’ attention by implying you have the solution for their weakness or flaw.
Leila Hormozi uses this in “Watch this if you’re addicted to other people’s approval”, where the word “addicted” reframes a common insecurity as a pattern worth breaking rather than a personality flaw to be ashamed of, which makes the viewer feel seen rather than called out.
Use this hook when you’re addressing a behavior your audience already knows is holding them back but hasn’t found the language to confront yet. Name the pattern without calling them out personally.
Here’s an example: “Watch This If You’re Addicted To Perfecting Content Before You Post It”
