Sound familiar?

You're posting.
Nobody's stopping.

You're showing up. You're putting in the effort. The content is good. But the views are low, the saves are low, and the enquiries from Reels are basically zero.

It's not your content. It's your opening line. And until that changes, nothing else will.

  • "My Reels get maybe 200 views and then die."
  • "I never know what to say in the first second."
  • "I post and it feels like shouting into a void."
  • "Other people go viral and I can't figure out what they're doing differently."
  • "I'm exhausted from creating content that doesn't convert."

Every one of those problems starts at the same place — the first line. These 10 hooks fix that. Free. Today.

From someone who figured this out the hard way

I posted for years before I
understood why it wasn't working.

I'm Codie — photographer and business educator. I used to open every Reel the same way everyone else does. Warm, friendly, completely forgettable.

When I finally started paying attention to the hook — just the first line — everything changed. Watch time up. Saves up. Enquiries from people who'd never heard of me before.

"The hook is the only part of your Reel that everyone sees. Everything else is optional."

— Codie Murray, The Photography Mentor

These 10 hooks are the starting point. Use them this week and see what happens. The full 55-hook system is inside The Trial Reels Method — but start here.

What's inside

5 categories.
10 hooks.
All plug-and-play.

Each hook is built around a different emotional trigger — because different audiences respond to different things. The bracket is where your story goes. That's it.

01
Shock & Disbelief
The result hook

Leads with something so unexpected they have to keep watching to find out if it's real.

02
Curiosity Gap
The secret hook

Opens a question they can only answer by finishing the Reel. Impossible to scroll past.

03
Vulnerability
The honest hook

Says what most people in your industry won't. Builds trust faster than any polished content.

04
Relatability
The feeling hook

Names an exact emotion your audience carries. If they feel seen, they stay.

05
Fear of Missing Out
The knowledge hook

Creates the feeling that everyone else already knows this — and they're about to catch up.

+5

5 more variations

Five additional hooks covering different angles across the same categories. All in the free download.

Why trust me on this

Not theory.
What actually worked.

I'm not a content strategist. I'm a working photographer who figured out what makes Reels work — in a real business, for real bookings.
