Hook template
A reusable hook structure with named variables.
Hook templates abstract a working hook into a structure that can be reused across topics.
Example: 'I [verb] [object] for [time]. Here's what happened.' This template has produced 80+ IQ hooks across multiple niches.
Maintaining 8–12 active templates allows a creator to compose hooks rather than invent them.
