STEPS
Define the video topic
Choose your topic, target audience, and desired video length (8-12 min ideal for YouTube).
Research competing videos
Watch top 3 videos on this topic. Note their hooks, structure, and what comments say they missed.
Generate the script
Use a detailed ChatGPT prompt specifying: hook (first 30 sec), 3-4 main sections, pattern interrupts every 2 min, and CTA.
Add retention techniques
Insert open loops, curiosity gaps, and 'but wait' transitions to keep viewers watching.
Rehearse and trim
Read aloud. Cut filler words. Ensure the script hits your target length at 150 words/minute pace.
Overview
Great videos start with great scripts. This workflow generates scroll-stopping hooks, structured narratives, and strong CTAs optimised for YouTube retention metrics.
