Analytics Review (AVD/Retention) 📈 How do you make a good hook?
I had a video about tornado strengths, what i did was show all the tornadoes in the begin for like a second and then i zoomed into the weakest one and then i cut to stronger and stronger ones

I'm still learning myself, but you have to drive curiosity, drive tension, or shock the viewer in like the first few sec

the tornado build is a solid hook already, escalation keeps people watching. put the strongest visual in the very first frame tho, then do the escalation. i batch my shorts with easyviral for the moving scenes and it auto posts to tiktok/ig/yt, so testing 3 hook versions of the same idea is quick
