Viewers decide in the first fifteen seconds. Everything else in a script exists to keep the promise those fifteen seconds made.
What you'll learn
- How to generate and choose a hook
- A three-part structure that works for most videos
- How to make the draft sound like you
Step 1: Generate ten hooks, keep one
Ask AI Script Writer for ten opening lines for your topic, then read them aloud. Most will sound like an advert. One usually sounds like something you'd actually say — that's the one.
Step 2: Build the spine
- The promise — what the viewer gets by the end
- The steps — three to five, in the order someone would do them
- The close — one instruction, not a summary
Step 3: Rewrite for your voice
Delete every sentence you wouldn't say to a friend. Replace the rest with the way you'd explain it. This pass takes ten minutes and does more for the video than anything else.
Tip
Time the draft by reading it out. 130–150 words per minute is a natural pace, so a 600-word script is roughly four minutes.
Common mistakes
- Starting with an introduction instead of a hook
- Six steps when three would do
- Ending with "in conclusion"
