Getting Your First Hook
The process we use to find our best hooks.
Your first headline is a terrible headline.
1. 7 Minute hook brainstorm with your team
2. Your team gets 3 upvotes each
3. Take winning themes, turn into 10-15 headlines
4. $500-$1,000 ad budget to test CTRs on Facebook
5. Build what you need to support the winning headline
Recap
• Make sure you’re playing the right game: volume or quality?
• For volume, get the tactics right and then scale to absurdity
• For quality, A/B test lead chokepoints to death
• For your first solid hook, brainstorm headlines and run a Facebook ad test to find best clickthrough rates
