What a good UGC caption does

The caption isn't the hook. The hook is on screen and stops the scroll. The caption sits under the video and does one of three jobs:

  • Asks a question that invites comments ("what subject are you cramming for?").
  • Adds context the video doesn't say out loud.
  • Helps search, especially on YouTube Shorts, by saying what the video is about.

Hashtags without the spam

Use 3 to 5 tags that describe the video and the audience. Skip long lists of generic tags. If you post the same video to TikTok, Reels and Shorts, write a caption per platform: Shorts rewards searchable words, TikTok rewards a question.
