How To Write A Script For Youtube Videos

Want to know my secret to YouTube success? It's having a video script for each of my videos. And in today's video, I'm going to break down the five key elements. Every single YouTube video should have to be successful. Hey, guys. Welcome to another episode of Just the Tips. My name is Trena. If you are new here and I help creative business owners like you get their business on YouTube. So if you do YouTube lives or you do Instagram lives, that is a totally different platform. And if you take those videos and put them on YouTube, they're not going to perform. You need to create content for YouTube that works on YouTube. I'm going to break that down for you in these five key elements. The first thing every single YouTube video needs to have is a hook. And it needs to be you. When somebody clicks on that thumbnail in the search result, they need to see you, they need to connect with you. You don't want to have your little buffer music intro type thing. You need to welcome them to your video with your face. Now, your hook could be like a statistic that gets them interested. Or maybe you just plainly tell them, in today's video, you're going to learn how to wash your dog. I don't know whatever your channel is about, but it's got to be something that makes them want to stay to watch. Then you can throw in that little bumper, that graphic music intro that you have, and it should not be any longer than five seconds. That's it, five seconds max. Then you can introduce yourself like I do. I say my name is Trina and I tell you what I do. So you know, oh, this person's for me. So they keep watching. Then you jump into that content. Now, when you're writing your script, whether you write this all out or you do bullet points, it's really important to have an idea going into a video what that content is going to be. Otherwise you can start rambling, go off on a tangent. Not only does it make your editing process harder and longer, but but you're going to lose people because they want the content. If they're new to you, they honestly don't really care about who you are. They want the content they came for. So what I do is I actually have a post it with my key points written down so I know where I'm going and how to stay on track. I did start out writing my full script word for word, but as I do this more and more and I get more comfortable, I just need those bullet points to keep me on track. So after you share your content, you want to have some type of call to action. So because people on video aren't going to know what you want them to do unless you tell them. What's really important here on YouTube is to get people to watch more videos. Whether that's sending them to another video that you created or sending them to a playlist that you have, or asking them to subscribe to your channel, you need to keep people on the YouTube platform. Now, if you have a business and you want people on your email list, I suggest thinking in series of videos, right? So you do four video series where you ask people to subscribe to watch more videos. Then that last capstone video is where you push people off the platform to your opt in or your course or your work with me page, right? You don't want to send people off the platform for every single video. Otherwise YouTube is not going to promote your video and nobody's going to end up seeing it because YouTube wants people to stay on YouTube and then finally wrap up your content. Whether you're sharing points, maybe you just go through the main points again, thank people for watching and sign off. So in today's video we learned the five key elements to a script for YouTube are your hook, your intro, your content, your call to action and your outro. Let me know down below if you write a script for your video or if you just do bullet points like I do, I'd love to hear you guys strategy.
