The hook method: three lines that earn the fourth

Most posts lose the reader in the first line because they start with context. The hook method starts with the tension instead.

  1. Name the moment, not the topic
  2. Make the reader feel the cost
  3. Promise one specific turn

Try the method on a post you are writing now.

The structure is boring on purpose: it leaves all the room for what you have to say.
