Tips & gotchas

Ensure you have access to user behavior data or clear product goals before applying these strategies, as generic hooks may not resonate with your specific audience. Always test proposed changes with real users, as over-optimizing for engagement can sometimes lead to a manipulative feel that damages trust.
