Frequently Asked Questions
What is "hook-first" formatting?
Hook-first means starting your caption with an attention-grabbing line that stops the scroll. This could be a question, surprising statement, or relatable observation.
Why do line breaks matter in captions?
Short lines are easier to read on mobile. Breaking up text improves readability and keeps viewers engaged longer.
What's the ideal caption length?
For TikTok, shorter is usually better (under 150 chars). For Instagram, you have more room but the first line should hook readers before the "more" cutoff.
Should I use emojis?
Emojis can increase engagement but use them purposefully. They work well as bullet points or to add emotion, but too many can look unprofessional.
