I used to just post and hope, but now I actually script the first three seconds to stop the scroll. The breakdown of how to structure a hook and work with the algorithm instead of fighting it really shifted how I plan content. A couple of my Reels have done noticeably better since I started writing proper openers. The section on audience growth was solid, even if I'd have liked another example or two of full scripts. Definitely worth it for anyone whose videos keep flopping in the first second.

Nailing the hook in the first second changed everything, my Reels finally stopped dying at the start.

Khóa học giúp mình hiểu cách viết câu mở đầu để giữ chân người xem và làm việc thuận theo thuật toán thay vì chống lại nó. Mấy video gần đây của mình lên view tốt hơn hẳn, chỉ tiếc là phần ví dụ kịch bản hơi ít.
