The first 3 seconds of your TikTok content determine whether viewers stay or scroll away. A strong hook isn’t just about what you say—it’s also about what they see. A bad hook? A monotone voice with a still background. A good hook? Fast cuts, engaging facial expressions, and on-screen text that sparks curiosity.

Testing different hooks through A/B testing and analyzing viewer retention can help refine your strategy. And don’t forget the CTA—whether it’s clicking the Beg Kuning or joining a live session, guiding your audience to take action is just as important as keeping them engaged.

When I first started creating video content, I didn’t realize the importance of pacing and variety. My static shots and long POVs led to low viewer engagement and high scroll-away rates. It wasn’t until I discovered the concept of visual fatigue and experimented with dynamic scene cuts—like 5-10 POV shifts in the first 3 seconds—that my completion rates soared. This simple yet powerful adjustment not only captured attention but also boosted sales conversions. If you want your TikTok videos to stand out, mastering pacing and creating an engaging hook is the key to success.

Most consumers judge a product by its price rather than its quality. Without expertise, it's hard to distinguish between a RM100 coffee and a RM10 one—until the price is revealed, shaping our perception of taste and value. In business, quality alone isn’t enough to win customers; the real game-changer is storytelling. Just like Mount Kinabalu and Mount Everest captivate with their legends, a compelling brand story makes a product stand out. Price wars fade, but the brands that tell the best stories leave a lasting impact.

In 2023, my business was still small, with just one staff member assisting me. I knew that to grow, I had to leverage my time effectively. By 2024, my focus shifted to strengthening the business and scaling up through hiring. Building the right team wasn’t easy, but I learned that even the smallest tasks contribute to long-term success. As I head into 2025, my goal is to refine my workforce and accelerate growth, knowing that true business value comes from investing in people and creating a strong team culture.
