6 Proven Hook Formulas Like MrBeast, Casey & Vsauce: Breakdown + Plug-and-Play Templates for YouTube

How to use 6 proven hook formulas like MrBeast, Casey Neistat & Vsauce to boost your video retention in 2025–2026?

Hey everyone! We’re SOCIALA — a creative space where creators, experts, marketers, and entrepreneurs build content and turn it into income.

Most creators “wing” their hook and hope the algorithm saves them. But on YouTube, TikTok, Shorts & Reels in 2025–2026, the first 3–15 seconds decide everything: retention, recommendations, and whether your video even has a chance to grow.

In this video, you’ll get 6 proven hook formulas based on real examples from MrBeast, Casey Neistat, Vsauce, TED, GaryVee, and Airrack — and you’ll use them to write a hook for your next video in just 5 minutes (both vertical and horizontal).

This is not another theory video about “be interesting in the first seconds”. You get plug-and-play templates, clear structures, and a 5-minute Hook Builder you can reuse for every script.

You’ll learn:
— What a hook actually is (for vertical & horizontal) and why algorithms care so much
