What is inside this guide

Each prompt in the YouTube video scripts guide solves one common job, and each comes with a short tip on how to get a better result. The 10 prompts are:

Video outline. Outline first, then script. It prevents rambling.
Hook and intro. Skip the channel intro until after the hook.
Full script, spoken style. Read it aloud. Rewrite anything that sounds like an essay.
Add stories and examples. Real examples from your own life work best.
Retention check. Cut anything that does not help the viewer.
B-roll and visuals list. A visual every few seconds keeps the video alive.
Tutorial script. Show the finished result in the first 10 seconds.
Listicle video. Count down to keep curiosity going.
End screen and call to action. Tell viewers what to watch next, not only to subscribe.
Turn a video into a Short. Shorts can bring new viewers to your long videos.
