How To Write A Perfect YouTube Script

Hi, my name is Amechi, a writer with many years of priceless experience. And in this blog post, I'll be teaching you how to write the perfect YouTube script.

Follow these tips to write your YouTube scripts like a pro!

1. Start With A Hook

As the name implies, the “hook” is what keeps the viewers interested in what the video has to offer. Without it, they’ll be gone after the first 30 seconds or so.

The hook should start with an interesting fact, or a question that can spark the curiosity of the viewer.

If the video is about “the world's most expensive cars”, you can start the script with a line like this –

“If you thought the $3 million 2021 Bentley was the world’s most expensive car, better think again because it’s not!”

A person who initially thought the 2021 Bentley was the most expensive would be interested in finding out which cars are more expensive. And this would generate interest in the video, causing them to keep watching.

2. Write The Intro

Now that you’ve got their attention with the hook, you need to write an equally captivating intro.
The intro should expand on the topic and tell the viewers what to expect at the end. This is called the “climax”.

Since we’re using the world’s most expensive cars as an example, you can write the intro like this –

“The 2021 Bentley might cost $3 million, but there are cars that cost a lot more. In this video, we’ll be looking at the most expensive cars in the world. And you won’t believe which cars cost the most.
If you want to find out which, then you have to watch this video to the very end”.

These sentences increase the viewers interest, as well as the amount of time they will spend watching the video.

3. Welcome Note And First Call To Action

After the intro, the next thing you need to write is a welcome note.
This would be something like –

“Welcome to "XYZ" channel, where we bring you daily updates on the latest automobile trends”.

After welcoming the viewers, you need to write the first call to action.
This would be something like –

“Before we get into our list of the world’s most expensive cars, be sure to subscribe to our channel and hit the notification bell so you can stay updated with more great content like this as soon as we upload”.

This line informs the viewer what your channel is about, so they know what to expect every time they tune-in. It also encourages them to subscribe to the YouTube channel, and they most-likely will if they are interested in the kind of content you produce.

4. Write The Content

This is the part the viewers have been waiting for. Here, you need to make the content as detailed as possible.

If it’s the “most expensive cars” script you are writing, then do so in the form of a listicle, starting from the greatest number to number one.

If you’re talking about 10 cars, then countdown from 10 to 1. That’s the cheapest on the list, to the most expensive.
You’re doing this to keep the viewers stuck. If you start writing from the most expensive, then they would lose interest in watching the rest of the video.

5. Tease The Climax

When you’ve gone halfway across the list, it is important that you take a break and tease the climax with a few curiosity-inciting lines.

You can write something like this –

“As you can see, the 2021 Bentley isn’t the most expensive car in the world. However, if you think the prices of the cars mentioned so far are outrageous, just wait until you see how much the other cars on this list cost!
“You won’t believe it !!!”

These lines will keep the viewers itching to get to the end!

6. Write The Rest Of The Content

This is where you’ll write about the other cars on the list, up until you get to number one.

7. Write The Outro And Ask A Comment-Baiting Question

Now you’ve reached the end of the script, but you don’t want the viewers to leave without taking action. This is why you need to ask a comment-baiting question.

The purpose of this is to get the viewers to take action. In this case, you want them to leave their thoughts in the comment section for the purpose of engagement.

You can write something like –

“So what do you think about the prices of these cars? Outrageous right?
Visit the comment section and let us have your thoughts, we’d be glad to hear from you”.

You should also ask them to subscribe to the channel and hit the notification bell for regular updates.

This is exactly how the professionals write their YouTube scripts, and your clients will love it!
