FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a LinkedIn hook?
The first one or two lines of a post: the part LinkedIn shows before it cuts the text off with "…see more". Most people decide from those lines alone whether to read the rest, so the hook does more work than any other sentence in the post.
Is the hook generator free? Do I need an account?
It's free and needs no sign-up. There's a fair-use limit of a few rounds every 10 minutes so the tool stays up for everyone.
What makes a good LinkedIn hook?
Being specific beats being clever. A good hook has one idea, a concrete detail or a real tension, and it makes a promise the rest of the post keeps. Clickbait that the post doesn't pay off gets the click once and costs you the reader's trust after.
Will it make up numbers or results?
No. If a number would make the hook stronger and you didn't give one, it leaves [X] as a placeholder so you can fill in the real figure. Put the actual numbers in your topic and they'll show up in the hooks.
Which hook style should I use?
Match it to the post. Contrarian hooks suit opinions, story hooks suit something that happened to you, number hooks suit results, question hooks suit discussions, and lesson hooks suit advice. The generator gives you one of each so you can compare them side by side.
Can LinkGenie write the rest of the post?
Yes. The LinkGenie app learns your voice from posts you've already written, drafts the full post from a rough idea, a voice note or a screenshot, and schedules it for when your audience is online. You get 2 posts free, no card needed.
