5 YouTube Openings That Win the First 30 Seconds
Writes 5 different openings for your video, each built on a different hook type (a problem, a bold claim, a surprising stat, a visual pattern interrupt, a familiar pain), and each giving viewers a reason to stay within 10 seconds.

Context: the first 30 seconds of a video decide whether people keep watching.
My video topic: [describe]
Create 5 distinct hooks for the opening, one per approach:
1. Open with a problem
2. Open with a bold claim
3. Open with a surprising statistic
4. Open with a visual pattern interrupt
5. Open with a pain the viewer recognizes
Rule: within 10 seconds, every hook must answer the viewer's question "why should I keep watching?"
