Trena Little walks through a five-part video script template for creators: hook, intro, three content points, call to action, and audience prompt. Planning with bullet points or a full script keeps you focused, cuts rambling, and improves how many viewers stick around and convert.
Alright guys, let's pull up a glass of wine or a cup of coffee, whatever you need right now. And let's talk about how to write a successful script for your video content. I'm going to break it down into five different sections, so stay tuned to find out how you can grab this template. Hey guys, welcome back to another episode of Just the Tips with Trena. If you're new here, make sure you go ahead and subscribe down below. I am a video content strategist and I help online entrepreneurs figure out a video content strategy that works for them and and their business. Like I said, today we are going to talk about writing a video script. I know sometimes it can be hard to get on the camera and know what exactly to say or how to say it. So I have a script template that I'm going to break down into five different sections to really make sure your content is successful and that people watch it the whole way through. Now you might be thinking, I don't really need a script template. I know what I'm going to talk about. That's great, awesome. But I really suggest that you have a plan going into your video now, whether that's bullet points or a full on script. You want to have your thoughts down on paper before you jump on video because you don't want to look rambly, you don't want to keep talking and not really have a point to Your content until 10 minutes down the road when you've already lost all your viewers. This template just really helps you stay focused, get your content across and really keeps your audience engaged so that they're not dropping off, so that. So the first thing I want you to create at the beginning is your hook. This will be how you're going to get people to watch. For me, the beginning of my video was me holding up a glass of wine telling you what you're going to learn in this video. You want to find a way that you're really going to attract people. Whether it's asking them a question or telling them what you're going to talk about. It's really how you're going to draw people in to watch your video. After that you can have a quick little buffer section where you put your logo to some music or some graphic with music or something like that. I really suggest having this buffer, this graphic after your hook. You really want people, when they click on your video to see you first. You want them to connect with you instantly. You don't want to have that graphic at the beginning because they're like, oh, this isn't who I thought it was and they're going to possibly click off of it. So allow them that opportunity to connect with you instantly and then put in your buffer or your graphic. Whatever you're going to do next is your intro. My intro is telling you who I am and what I do. I'm Trina and I'm a video content strategist. You want to keep this short, like 10 to 15 seconds because it's really going to be important to get right to the content. People don't want you rambling on about who you are and what you do. They want their question answered that they clicked on your video. So just explain who you are, what you do, like your elevator pitch in 15 seconds and then you jump right on into the content. The best way to really deliver your content is have it broken down into pieces. Three points or three tips. Today I'm giving you five sections to a video script. So just really have your content organized and easy to follow throughout the video. When you're done with your content, you want to have a call to action. You're not creating this video just for fun, right? You want people to convert, whether that's to your email list or whether it's to email you. Whatever your call to action is going to be, put this right at the end of your content. So I typically tell people that I have a free download at the end of this video. I'm going to tell you I have a free script template for you to download. This not only gives you some free content, but it also gives me your email address. This is a great way to build your email list and to start growing your audience on a different platform. Then you want to ask a question to your audience. Your video is going to get ranked higher on YouTube. The more engagement it has, the more comments that you your video has gets ranked higher. Ask a question, get people talking. Then you can answer their questions and you can be seeing more of authority and start to build those relationships with people in the comment sections down below. Go ahead, leave me a comment down below. I would love to hear what you are up to. Then the last section that you're going to have is your outro. Say goodbye. Thank them for watching. Tell them to follow you on social media. Have a cute little sign off that you come up with whatever you decide is right for you.
