For online course creators & coaches
Stop guessing why your videos flop. Score every hook before you post.
Upload your short-form video. In 30 seconds, HookCheck tells you if your first 3 seconds will stop the scroll — and rewrites them if they won’t. Works for TikTok, Reels, Shorts, and LinkedIn.
Founding members lock in $19/mo for 12 months. No spam — one launch email, that’s it.
Hook score
Likely to underperform — fixable in 30 seconds.
What’s holding the hook back
Your opening “Hey guys, today I want to talk about…” burns 2.4s before any signal of value. 78% of viewers scroll past hooks like this in your niche.
Try one of these rewrites
“If you’re launching a course in 2026, skip these 3 mistakes — the third one cost me $40k.”
Why it works — Names the listener, sets stakes, teases a specific number.
“Most new course creators lose money on launch day. Here’s exactly why — and the fix.”
Why it works — Negative pattern interrupt + promise of a solution.
“I’ve sold $2M of courses. Three things I wish I knew on day one.”
Why it works — Authority signal in 5 seconds, then specificity.

The painful loop
You spent 4 hours filming. It got 200 views. Again.
The first 3 seconds decide everything. You can feel when a hook is weak — but you can’t fix it without posting and waiting for the algorithm to bury it.
You film, edit, post — and stare at 87 views.
No idea what went wrong. Was it the hook? The pacing? The thumbnail? You guess and try again.
You watch top creators and try to copy them.
The format works for them. It doesn’t work for you. You can’t reverse-engineer why.
Tools tell you what already happened.
Analytics dashboards are a post-mortem. By the time you see the data, the video is dead.

Questions, answered
Frequently asked
What platforms does HookCheck work with?+
Any of them. You upload the video file directly, so it works for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, LinkedIn, X, and Facebook. We don't need to log into your accounts and no platform integrations to break.
Do I need to give HookCheck access to my TikTok or Instagram?+
Nope. That's intentional. Most TikTok analytics tools are one platform policy change away from breaking. HookCheck just analyzes the video itself, so it keeps working no matter what TikTok ships next.
Is this just an AI guessing? How accurate is it?+
HookCheck combines transcription, frame analysis, and pacing detection with a niche-specific model trained on what's actually working in short-form right now. It's not a crystal ball — it can't guarantee a viral video — but creators in our beta consistently get specific, actionable rewrites that beat their original hook in side-by-side tests.
When does it launch?+
Private beta is rolling out to waitlist members in batches. Public launch is targeted for later this quarter. Waitlist members get in first.
What if I'm not a course creator? Will it still work?+
Yes — the engine works for any short-form vertical video. We're starting with course creators because that's where we have the strongest niche-tuning. Other niches (finance, fitness, real estate, e-com) are coming next. Pick your niche on the waitlist form so we know who to tune for next.
Can I cancel anytime?+
Yes. Monthly subscription, cancel from the dashboard. No annual lock-ins, no contracts.
Your next video deserves a better hook.
