Hook viewers in the first 30 seconds:
- Authority: Showcase your expertise to build trust.
- Core desire: Tap into what viewers ultimately want (e.g., growth, views).
- Tease: Give a glimpse of the valuable content coming up later.
Show, don’t just tell:
- Use visuals on the hook to grab attention and keep viewers engaged.
- Tease visually: Show the finished product, the experiment, etc.
Write a seamless script
- Flow from the hook into the content smoothly.
- Use bullet points or a word-for-word script, depending on your style.
Keep viewers on track
- Stay on topic and avoid irrelevant tangents.
- Cut the fluff and deliver the most essential information.
- Break down the video into sections or bullet points for easy follow-along.
Double your views with the transition method
- Utilize end-screen cards to recommend another video.
- This can lead viewers to watch multiple videos instead of just one.
By following these tips, you can write scripts that hook viewers, keep them engaged, and ultimately lead to more views for your YouTube videos.
