Here's the truth...
The first 3 lines of your FB ad will either make or break your campaign's success.
Because let's be honest:
If your headline doesn't catch attention...
And your hook isn't strong enough...
The ad becomes TOTALLY useless! 🗑️
Here's the exact formula I use to write scroll stopping headlines & hooks:
✅ PEEK → POKE → PROMISE
- PEEK: Share a specific result that creates curiosity "We helped a tired business coach 3X her community engagement in just 47 days..."
- POKE: Highlight the gap between where they are and where they want to be "...while most Skool owners are still struggling to get members to even like their posts."
- PROMISE: Show them the bridge to their desired outcome "Inside, I'm sharing the exact 3-part framework we used (including our engagement triggers, messaging templates, and member activation sequence)."
Why my example and the 3Ps formula work:
- The specific number (47 days) makes it feel more real than if I were to say '50 days'
- The contrast creates FOMO
- You're promising a proven system, not generic tips
- The language qualifies the audience (Skool owners)
- It addresses a universal pain point (engagement)
Just try this copywriting formula for your next ad.
Or even better...
Test it against your current copy and watch your cost per lead drop 👊
What was the last ad that made YOU stop scrolling and click?
P.S. Sometimes the best hooks come from our own scrolling habits! 😉
