The Perfect YouTube Script: 7-Step Method
A good script makes the difference between 1,000 and 100,000 views. Here's the structure used by the biggest YouTubers.
Why the Script is Everything
MrBeast spends more time on his scripts than on filming. This isn't by chance. The script is the architecture of your video.
The 7 Steps of the Perfect Script
1. The Hook (0-3 seconds)
You have 3 seconds to capture attention. A strong promise, a provocative question, a shocking fact.
2. The Retainer (3-30 seconds)
Explain why the viewer should stay. "In this video, you're going to learn..."
3. The Context (30s-1min)
Present the problem. Create empathy. Show that you understand their situation.
4. The Main Content (1-8 min)
Deliver your value. Structure in clear points. One point = one idea.
5. Pattern Interrupts
Every 60-90 seconds, change the pace. Question, anecdote, visual change.
6. The Recap
Summarize the key points. The brain loves repetition.
7. The CTA
Clearly state what you want: like, subscribe, comment.
