fix-my-opening-line

Diagnose why a post's opening line is not stopping anyone, and rewrite it from several genuinely different angles. Use when someone says a post flopped, asks for a better hook, first line or opener, asks why nobody read something, or is stuck on how to start. Do not use it to write the whole post, and do not promise that a new opening will make a post perform.

# Fix my opening line

On both Twitter and LinkedIn the first line decides whether most people read
on. The rest of the post mostly reaches people the first line already
convinced. So when a post did not work, start with the first line, but do not
stop there: the topic, the timing and the body can sink a post with a good
opening.

## Step 1: read the opening as a stranger would

Take the first line on its own, with the rest hidden. Then ask the only
question that matters: does this make the next line necessary?
