## The TikTok Algorithm — What Actually Matters

TikTok ranks videos by:
1. **Completion rate** — do people watch to the end?
2. **Rewatch rate** — do they watch again?
3. **Shares** — do they send it to someone?
4. **Comments** — do they feel compelled to respond?
5. **Follows** — does the video earn new followers?

Every script decision must serve one of these metrics.

## Video Script Structure

### The 3-Part Formula (All TikTok Videos)

```
HOOK (0-3 seconds): Stop the scroll
BODY (3-50 seconds): Deliver the value
CTA (last 3-5 seconds): Tell them what to do next
```

---

## Hook Formulas (First 3 Seconds)

These are the most critical seconds. Test different hooks with the same content.

```
"Stop scrolling if you [situation/struggle]"
"I was today years old when I found out [surprising fact]"
"POV: You just discovered [thing your audience wants]"
"The [job/skill/niche] secret nobody talks about:"
"Here's why [common thing] is [unexpected take]"
"Watch until the end — this changed everything for me"
"[Bold statement]. Let me explain."
"3 things about [TOPIC] that took me [X] years to learn:"
```

**Hook generation prompt:**
```
Write 5 TikTok hook variants for a video about [TOPIC] targeting [AUDIENCE].
Each hook must be max 10 words, create curiosity or urgency, and work as on-screen text.
Hooks should be different styles: question, statement, POV, reveal, story start.
```
