The Impact of Adding Sub-Hooks

In 5 years, I’ve written 1,000+ posts on LinkedIn.
​
(And this one strategy changed the game for me)
​
See what I did there? πŸ‘†
​
I added a sub-hook to make you click β€˜see more’
​
And guess what? It works.

Every. Single. Time.

Here's why sub-hooks are so powerful:
​
- It makes you curious.
- It builds anticipation of the value being delivered.
- It helps retain the attention gained from the main hook.
​
Here’s how I use sub-hooks in my posts:
​
- Keep it short and snappy (one sentence is perfect).
- Highlight the main takeaway without giving it all away.
- Create a natural flow into the body of the post.
​
A sub-hook signals, β€œThere’s something valuable here for you,” while respecting your time and attention.
