The 4 kinds of hooks to constantly use in your writing (via @NickChai13)
#1 Rhetorical questions
These are questions with obvious answers or a simple 'yes' or 'no'.
Your readers think you read their mind & thus they believe you understand what they're asking for.

#2 Cliffhangers
Cliffhangers give rise to incompleteness. Our brains are not wired to deal with it. Hence, we are curious to know/read more.
As you're about to reach the climax of a section, jump onto another section. Purposely leave your readers hanging.

Of course, the flow should be smooth. Cliffhangers don't disrupt the reading experience. They make the reader want more!

Confusion kills interest.
