A mediocre post with a great hook will always beat a great post with a mediocre hook. Nobody gets to read the rest if the first line doesn't grab them.

People spend weeks refining their core message and approximately two seconds on the headline. It’s a remarkable way to ensure your finest work remains entirely confidential.
