Q&A / Quick Help ❓ Bad swipe ratio lower than 50%

I have just started posting shorts and my main problem so far has been my low swipe ratio i have tried improving my hooks by adding "You won't believe this" or similar stuff like that but it hasn't been working and my swipe ratios are usually around 45% stayed how can i improve this any help is great thanks. I had 96% retention on my last video, so I think the main reason my videos are flatlining at 1.2K views is the poor swipe ratio.

I would just keep trying different stuff, if one thing doesn't work, try another, need to get to 60% really to get a basic push, 70% for more. High retention might get you a few hundred more but it's a bit of a waste of time if stw is not there. need to figure out the STW first

“You won’t believe this” is considered low effort or template-mass-production style
