There IS a method to the madness in scripting your videos. This is the basic structure I use in my videos and what I teach my students/clients. But please use this as a guide to get you started, and as you become more comfortable you can freestyle and edit as it makes sense for you.
</aside>
1. Hook (1-2 sentences)
- The goal: Capture attention by naming a common problem, making a bold statement, or sparking curiosity.
- Example:
- “Struggling to [insert pain point]?”
- “If you're tired of [problem], keep watching.”
- “Ever wondered how to [achieve a specific result] faster?”
2. Call to Action (1 sentence)
- The goal: Prompt viewers to engage immediately by following, commenting, or saving for later.
- Example:
- “Hit follow for more [niche-specific solution/tips] like this.”
- “Save this video so you don’t miss out on [related topic/important info].”
3. Content (as long as it needs to be without added fluff)
- The goal: Deliver the main point, tutorial, tip, or advice that solves the problem or educates the audience.
- Example:
- “Here’s how you can [solve problem or achieve goal] in 3 simple steps…”
- “Let me show you why [specific method/product] is the key to [desired outcome]…”
- “The mistake most people make when trying to [achieve result] is… but here’s what actually works.”
4. Additional Call to Action (1 sentence)
- The goal: Reinforce engagement with another call to action or prompt for interaction.
- Example:
- “Let me know in the comments if you’ve tried this!”
- “Share this with a friend who needs to hear it!”
- “Follow for more [niche-specific advice] on [related topic]!”
