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 & #39;yes& #39; or & #39;no& #39;.
Your readers think you read their mind & thus they believe you understand what they& #39;re asking for.

Result?
They keep reading.
Don& #39;t be smart with the questions. Just do proper research & find out what questions your readers will most likely ask.

#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& #39;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& #39;t disrupt the reading experience. They make the reader want more!
#3 Transitions
Transition is the arrangement of ideas to prevent them from clashing. As simple as different tweets in this thread.
Transitions are great for holding attention & killing confusion.
Confusion kills interest.
