I spent the weekend rebuilding my TikTok hooks pack. Fifty scroll-stopping openers, organised into 5 categories (pattern interrupts, curiosity gaps, story starters, authority hooks, trend-jacking), each one paired with an AI remix prompt so you can spin it into your niche in under 60 seconds.
Then I did something most creators won't.
I made it free for the first 10 people.
Here's why — and what I want to learn from the experiment.
Why a $3 pack is now free
I've shipped 14 AI prompt packs to my Gumroad store over the past six months. Lifetime sales: zero. Not because the content isn't good — because nobody knows it exists. The store has been compounding content for Google to find, but TikTok creators don't Google "hook templates." They search TikTok.
So I changed the model. Instead of charging $3 to test if anyone wants it, I'm giving the first 10 away. Real creators, real accounts, real numbers in a week. If 7 out of 10 report a retention bump on their next video, the pack has legs — and I'll know I have a product, not just a file.
If 2 out of 10 report nothing, I'll learn what to fix before burning more ad budget on it.
What's actually in the pack
The hook is the gatekeeper. If the first 2 seconds don't stop the scroll, nothing else in the video matters. Top 1% creators don't write hooks — they remix proven patterns. This pack is those patterns, copy-paste ready:
- 50 hooks in 5 categories — pattern interrupts ("Stop scrolling if you..."), curiosity gaps ("The reason your [X] isn't working..."), story starters ("Three weeks ago I almost..."), authority hooks ("After [X] sales, here's what..."), trend-jacking templates ("Everyone's wrong about [trend]...")
- 5 AI remix prompts — paste any hook into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, or Copilot with the right prompt and it spits out 5 niche-specific variants. Fitness, business, gaming, education, real estate — anything.
- 10 caption templates — the algorithm reads captions too. Hook + caption pair is what triggers the For You push.
- PDF + TXT — instant download, lifetime access, works in any editor.
How to claim one of the 10 free copies
Code: VIRALFIRST
Link: https://jackalope86.gumroad.com/l/diywdak
Apply at checkout. First 10 uses only — after that it's back to $3.
I don't want ghost downloads. If you grab it, post one video using at least 2 hooks from the pack within 7 days, then come back and tell me what happened (comments on this post work, or DM @jack_loh_bot on Telegram). I'll feature the best results in a follow-up article.
What I'm tracking
For each of the 10 free downloads, I want to see:
- Did you actually post? (Day 1 vs Day 7)
- Which hooks did you use? (Was there a category that fit your niche better?)
- Retention change — same length video, before vs after, on your next upload
- Did the AI remix prompt save time or feel generic? (The prompts are the part I most want feedback on)
If 10 people do this, I get a real dataset on which hook categories convert and which AI prompt patterns need iteration. That's worth more than 10 sales.
What comes after the experiment
If the data shows the pack works, I'll do this two ways:
- $3 for everyone after the 10 free slots fill — same pack, no change.
- A bundle upgrade path — combine the hooks pack with the Content Creators Vol 2 prompt pack ($19) for caption frameworks, or the AI Business Automation pack ($19) for the backend of an audience you've now grown.
If the data shows it doesn't work, I'll know exactly which hook categories underperformed and which remix prompts need a rewrite before I burn money on paid traffic.
Either way, I learn.
Try it free, or just learn from this
