What makes a good LinkedIn hook?
A first line that says something specific before the post gets cut off, and gives a reason to read the second line. The mechanics that do it are known: a direct question, a number, a belief challenged, a personal story, a concrete scene, curiosity held back, an announcement, a list. MagicPost writes on those mechanics and labels each hook with the one it uses, so you compare angles instead of rewriting the same sentence.
How do I write the first line of a LinkedIn post?
Start from what the post is really about, then try several openings before you settle on one. In MagicPost you type your subject and get a series of hooks on different mechanics, keep the one that fits, and it becomes the first line of the post. If the post already exists, pick it from your drafts or paste it, and the openings are written for that text.
Where do the example hooks come from?
From real LinkedIn posts. MagicPost keeps a bank of opening lines written by creators with a large audience, sorted by mechanic, where the posts that got the most reactions weigh the most. Those lines are shown to the model as examples of rhythm and wording, not copied into yours. In the Creators tab you can read them yourself, open the post they come from, and adapt one to your own subject.
Will the hooks sound like me?
They follow the writing style active on your account, the same one the post generator uses, and the AI context you filled in: who you are, who you write for, what you sell. Change the style, the tone or the emoji setting and the next run comes out different. Starting from one of your own posts gives the generator even more of your material to work from.
Can I get hooks for a post I already wrote?
Yes. Pick one of your unpublished posts in MagicPost, or paste any text you wrote elsewhere, and the hooks are written for that post. The rest of the post stays visible under each hook so you can judge how the transition reads, and applying one replaces the first line of the draft while leaving everything else untouched.
Is there a free LinkedIn hook generator?
Yes, one lives on this site: a single text field, a handful of hooks, no account. It knows nothing about you and keeps nothing after you close the page. The generator described here runs inside MagicPost with your writing style, your drafts, the mechanics, the creator bank and your library. The free trial takes no credit card and no browser extension.
