Age Gate Warning
Open by calling out a specific age range and warning them not to do a certain action — the age gate makes the warning feel personal.
Breakdown
- 01Name the exact age range in the first line.
- 02Issue a hard 'do not do X' command.
- 03Explain the consequence briefly to justify the warning.
- 04Keep it short so it reads as a public service, not a lecture.
Example openers
“If you're 18 to 25, do not start investing without doing this first.”
“If you're in your 30s, do not quit your job before you watch this.”
“If you're under 21, do not sign this kind of contract.”
“If you are (insert age group or range) do not do (insert action).”
“If you're in your 30s, these are the 5 things you need to do so you don't end up broke at 50.”
