Hook Readers Instantly

[chainsniff]

Your first sentence isn’t for explaining, summarizing, or introducing yourself—it’s an audition.
Open a loop in your reader’s mind, tease them, make them curious, and they’ll feel compelled to read the next sentence.
Example: “I never imagined the key to selling a million dollars worth of products would be something I learned in kindergarten.”
Lesson: Start in the middle, mention what your audience wants, and set expectations. Curiosity is your secret weapon.

Grabbing attention in the first 3 seconds can change the entire outcome.
