3 Unique Hooks For Online Coaches and Info Marketers
Here are today’s viral video hooks and content ideas to get more views and leads:
- The “Stay Calm In Every Situation” hook uses a high-stakes emotional promise to grab attention, leveraging the viewer’s desire for emotional regulation and resilience in the face of stress or crisis.
Mel Robbins effectively used this in her recent YouTube Short, featuring a neuroscientist who explains a simple, biology-based technique for calming the nervous system.
For mindset, wellness, and performance coaches, this trend is an excellent way to introduce deep, science-backed transformations in an accessible way, allowing you to build trust by providing a “quick win” for emotional control.
Here’s an example: “How to stay calm when a client cancels their contract or a launch fails. Most people spiral into panic, but I’ll show you the ‘physiological sigh’ technique that resets your brain in 30 seconds so you can make your next move from a place of power, not fear.” - If I Started Over content establishes authority by showing the exact, step-by-step strategy a successful entrepreneur would use to rebuild from zero, providing a clear “success blueprint” that viewers can immediately apply to their own businesses.
Dan Martell used this format in his recent video, “$100M CEO EXPLAINS: If I Started Over With $0, Here’s My Exact Plan”.
For business and growth coaches, this trend is a “client magnet” because it demonstrates your strategic depth and provides a clear path for your audience to follow, making your coaching feel like the logical next step for their implementation.
Here’s an example of an online coach in the fitness niche using this hook to speak to a pilate studio owner:
“If I had to start over and build my pilates studio with $0 and no followers, I wouldn’t post a single workout video. Instead, I’d use this 3-step ‘local authority’ strategy to sign my first 5 members in under 30 days.” - The “Paycheck Routine” hook frames a specific, repeatable process tied to a common life event, making the content immediately actionable and memorable because it connects to something your audience does regularly.
Codie Sanchez’s video “Do This Every Time You Get Paid (Paycheck Routine)” demonstrates this hook’s power. By anchoring financial wisdom to payday, she created a system people can implement immediately and reference every month.
For coaches teaching systems, habits, or financial strategies, this hook transforms abstract concepts into concrete, repeatable actions your audience can start using today.
Plus, it allows you to nudge them in the direction of your offer while pre-framing them to invest.
