Myth vs fact hooks for TikTok slideshows
Myth vs fact hooks start from something many people believe and promise the truth: “Meditation myths that made me quit”. On a TikTok slideshow each slide holds one myth and its fact, so the viewer swipes to see if their belief is next. Corrections are easy to send to a friend, too.

blank: Meditation myths that blank: made me quit
The slides after it
- 1.Slide 1: the hook, naming the topic.
- 2.One slide per myth: “Myth: …” as the headline, “Fact: …” underneath.
- 3.The last fact is where your app helps, without overclaiming.
Why myth-busting hooks work on TikTok slideshows
- A belief the viewer holds is personal. They swipe to see if theirs is on the list.
- Myth on top, fact underneath: one slide is one complete idea.
- A clear correction is easy to share with the friend who still believes it.
- Facts make the post look careful, which suits apps that teach something.
On a slideshow the first slide is the hook: no voice, no motion, just the words and the photo, read in about two seconds. Keep it under 14 words (why).

Questions
Do myth vs fact posts need sources?
For health, money or study claims, keep each fact to something well known and checkable, and put a source in the caption when it is specific. A wrong “fact” gets corrected in the comments.
Where does the app go in a myth post?
On the last fact, as the thing that makes the true version easier. Never make the app itself the fact.
Can I use these hooks as they are?
Yes, they are free to use. Change the highlighted blanks to your own details: a hook with your real numbers, places and moments reads as yours, and copies of the same line do worse.
Can Reelazy write hooks like these for my app?
Yes. Paste your app's link once, then pick a format or copy one from a TikTok slideshow you like. For each post Reelazy writes several hooks and keeps the strongest, and you can change it before you approve the post.
