My SIMPLE process for writing short-form video scripts.
Read to the end for a bonus tip 😜👇 1️⃣ Figure Out The HOOK First Without a good hook, nothing else matters. Period. Ask yourself: what would make a person want to stop and watch this video? This should involve some research! Don’t just guess (“I think people might like this...”) Get online and see what kinds of headlines & hooks are getting high engagement online. Brainstorm ways you can piggyback on those concepts with your content. 2️⃣ Deliver Value QUICK Keep the first 3 seconds juicyyyyy 💦 No intro or lengthy explanation is needed... Get straight to the point and give the people what they want (or they’ll keep scrolling). 3️⃣ Write An Outline (NOT A SCRIPT) Plot twist lol 😆 I don’t actually recommend you write a word-for-word script for short-form videos. While I DO think it’s a good idea for long-form videos, we need to remember that short-form video is very different... The whole point of short-form video is to give your audience small, bite-sized clips of value & personality. So that they feel connected to you and want to consume more of your content. It’s really hard to create that sense of intimacy and connection if you’re reading verbatim from a script 🤖 🚫 Instead, I recommend that you map out a few main talking points. And use that to prevent you from getting off-topic or rambling. BONUS TIP 👉 don’t try to cram too much into one video. The best short-form videos are SHORT (like 30 seconds or less 👀). So if you have a whole bunch of information to share, think about how you can split that info up into separate videos with their own hooks.
