Scroll-Stopping Hooks: 7 Words That Own the LinkedIn Feed
One line. Seven words. Endless eyeballs.
Why obsess over hooks?
- LinkedIn boosts posts that hold attention—dwell-time is the metric to beat.
- Users see just 3 preview lines, so your opener either wins or disappears.
- Creators say 90 % of a high-performing post is the hook.
Miss the hook, you miss the sale.
The 7-Word Rule
Eight words? Too long. Six? Fine.
But seven hits the rhythm sweet-spot most readers skim without thinking. Mobile screens love it. So does the LinkedIn “see more” button.
5 Ready-to-Steal Templates
(Exactly seven words each—count them.)
- “Stop pitching. Start teaching. Watch leads sprint in.”
- “Your résumé is dead. Stories print money.”
- “Outworked? Outsmart. This swipe file helps.”
- “Coffee break tip: Double replies today, free.”
- “My startup survived by firing busywork. Yours?”
Steal, tweak, post. Then grab coffee while impressions roll.
