A library of short-form video hooks
Hooks that actually went viral.
Real opening lines from Instagram Reels and TikTok, with the view counts we captured and a short note on why each one worked. Members get 10 new ones every day.
— hooks in the library right now. Free to browse, no card needed.
Today’s drop
Today’s fresh hooks
What landed in the library today. Members see all of it.
How it works
From the scroll to your script.
Three steps, and the first two happen before you wake up.
We find what’s working
Every day we look for short-form videos that recently passed 1M views, in English, across the niches creators care about.
We pull out the hook
The opening line, a short transcript excerpt, tags, the numbers as we captured them, and a 2–4 sentence AI note on why it worked.
You make it yours
Borrow the pattern, not the video. Rework the structure for your own topic, in your own words, and film it.

Some (painful) alternatives
What most of us do instead, and where it falls short.
Ask ChatGPT for hooks
- It can’t tell you what actually went viral this week
- No real view counts behind any line it writes
- Everyone asking the same prompt gets the same hooks
Copy a generic Notion template
- Most lines come with no stats at all
- Not sorted by niche, format or hook style
- The list never changes after you download it
Scroll TikTok for hours
- Hours of scrolling for a handful of good openers
- Saved posts pile up in collections you never reopen
- No note on why any of it worked
Viralhooks
- Hooks from real videos, with the view counts we captured
- Search by niche and hook style, then open the original
- A short note on why each one worked
- 10 new hooks every day for members
For businesses
Not a creator? Still works.
Small businesses use short-form video too. Browse hooks from the niches closest to yours.
Questions
Have questions?
Why is Viralhooks different from ChatGPT?
ChatGPT can write a hook, but it can’t tell you which hooks actually went viral this week, and it can’t show you the numbers. Every hook here comes from a real public video, with the views we captured and a link to the original. We only use AI for the short “why it works” note.
Can Viralhooks help me make authentic, non-robotic content?
That’s the idea. You get patterns from real videos, not finished scripts. Take the structure, put it in your own words about your own topic, and it sounds like you, not like a template.
Who is Viralhooks for?
English-speaking creators, coaches and small businesses who make short-form video for Instagram Reels or TikTok and want a stronger first three seconds.
What is Viralhooks?
A searchable library of hooks (the opening lines) from short-form videos. Each one has niche and style tags, the view, like and comment counts we captured, a short transcript excerpt, a link to the original and an AI note on why it worked. Members also get a daily drop of 10 new hooks from videos with 1M+ views when we found them. Older archive hooks have a range of view counts, and every card shows its own.
Is there a trial period?
There’s no free trial. But you can browse sample hooks without an account, and a free account opens 10 hooks a week, so you can see if it’s useful before you pay.
What’s the deal with the free plan and refunds?
The free account opens 10 hooks a week, read-only. Membership is $30 a month or $199 a year. Cancel any time and you keep access until the end of the period you paid for. Your first payment can be refunded within 14 days. Details are in the refund policy.
I’m a creator and my video is in the library. Can you remove it?
Yes. Email hello@useviralhooks.com with the link to your post and we’ll remove it within 48 hours. See the takedown section of our terms.
I bought Viralhooks before. Do I pay again?
No. Everyone who paid for Viralhooks in the past keeps free lifetime access as a founding member. Sign in with the email you bought with, and if it doesn’t work, email us.
