Q: What is the most important part of a YouTube video?A: The **Hook**—the first 5 to 10 seconds. You must clearly state the value proposition (“What will I learn?”) or create an immediate curiosity gap.
Q: How can I optimize my blog post for search engines (SEO)?
A: Use your main keyword naturally in the title, the first paragraph, and at least one H2 or H3 heading. Focus on answering the user’s specific **search intent**.
Q: What makes an Instagram Carousel engaging?
A: The first slide must be an irresistible hook. The content slides should be visually simple, and the final slide should include a strong, single call-to-action like “Save this post!”
Q: What is the “one to many” content strategy?

Q: How do I get more comments on my posts?
