 How to write a YouTube script that gets views, along with a free download. Hey guys, I wanna teach you how to write YouTube scripts in this video. At the end of this video, I'm also gonna give you a free download to guide you through it, but in the video, I'll give you all the steps, we'll talk about all the steps, all the things you need to know, so that by the end of this video, you're gonna know exactly what to do for your script for YouTube videos. Now, writing a script can seem overwhelming. I know in the beginning, when I started writing scripts, I was like, oh my gosh, what do I do, where do I start, what do I say? This particular video is gonna walk you through all that. Calm down, it's okay, you got this, okay? It's not that hard to do. And once you've done it a few times, you'll find that this template that I'm also gonna provide to you will guide you through all these steps and you won't have a problem with it, okay? So let's jump right in. It is important, I will tell you, don't think, well you know what JR, I think I'll just hold up my camera because that's a whole lot easier and I'll just talk. That's, I mean, some people can do that and stay organized, I would say the majority of the people cannot do that and stay organized. You need at least an outline. I use an outline and some guide words here. I have them on my computer right here, okay? They're kind of hidden from you guys. But I do have that. I never just go live without knowing what I'm gonna say. Unless I'm announcing something and it's like a one or two minute video, something along those lines. But if I'm here to teach, I wanna stay focused, I wanna stay organized and I wanna stay on track and the only way to do that is with a script. Okay, number one, the first thing is start with a clear message. A clear message is so very important, guys. If you don't know, if you can't say what you wanna teach somebody in one sentence, you need to go back to the drawing board. You should be able to do that. Now I told you in the beginning of this video, my message to you was at the end of the video, you would know how to write a script for a YouTube video. So that's my goal and I'm gonna stay on that path the whole way throughout this video. That's what you need to do. Whatever your goal of that particular video is, maybe it's to bake a loaf of bread, maybe it's to fix something on a car. And I'm talking strictly about educational videos now, but you gotta stay on script. It's so important that you do that. If you don't, you could end up mumbling or fumbling around and going in a whole bunch of different directions that you don't wanna do and you didn't really meet your message. You gotta have a clear message to your videos. I would really start off by asking yourself, what do you want the viewers to get out of this video once they've watched it? Okay, once they've watched this, what do you want them to be able to accomplish? Do have knowledge of what is it? What is your goal? My goal in this video is that in the end of this video that you'll have a template which you can download and you're gonna have the steps to writing a script for good YouTube videos that actually give views. Number two, remember, there are no perfect scripts. I see people trying to do perfection, but what they end up with is perfection paralysis. They don't get anything done. It's never good enough. It's never perfect enough. It will never be perfect enough, guys. And I will tell you, if you haven't done any videos at all, the first ones are not gonna be good. They're not, they're not. Very rare that somebody starts off and they have great videos. What I would suggest you doing is going to some of the channels that you like the person that you think they do incredible videos and go to videos and then sort them by the oldest and look at the first videos they did. This is very encouraging because you'll see how bad they were when they started. You're gonna have to do some bad videos. That's just the way it is. Now, if you don't do bad videos, you're gonna worry about being perfect and if you're worried about being perfect, you'll probably never do any videos because it's not gonna happen. This is not gonna happen. So you gotta avoid that perfection paralysis and you gotta get started. Don't worry about it being perfect, okay? I'm gonna give you the guide here. This will help you out and all that, but you gotta get started. You gotta do that first video. You gotta click record. You gotta click record. Number three is choose powerful imagery. Now, when you're doing videos, you're gonna have to do some editing. That's just the way it is. But like, when you see a light bulb and it represents like a great idea or a thought or something like that, the reason that's used is because it works. Certain things like that work. So maybe if you have a good idea, you could have a light bulb pop up on the screen. Use powerful imagery. That imagery that people see is so very important because it kind of wakes them up a little bit. If you just talk and you never have any editing and no images on the screen whatsoever, no B-roll on the screen whatsoever, it's gonna be kind of boring, okay? Not much is gonna be going on. So it's important that we add those little things to the screen. Maybe some sounds, maybe some music, something to make that video a little bit more interesting. Number four is speak to your audience, okay? Whoever your audience is. You're not there to impress them that you're better than them because you're not, okay? I will tell you that. No human being is better than another human being. And I see a lot of people try to come across that way that they're a better person, they're smarter or what? No, everybody's equal, okay? Everybody has different jobs and maybe different incomes, but all human beings are equal. Understand that how you talk to them though will differ according to your audience. If you're talking to a bunch of retirees who have a lot of spare time on their hands, that's gonna be a different kind of video than if you're talking to 16 to 20 year olds who are all over the place and they're attention going in 50 different directions, those videos should be different. You should be using different terms. If I'm talking to somebody who's a digital marketer, I can talk about SEO terms and I can talk about all kinds of digital marketing and these things and use certain terms because they're gonna understand them. But if I talk to the average person, I use some of those terms, they're not gonna know what I'm talking about. Same thing if you're talking to medical people, you would use terms that they know about. But the point of this one is speak to your audience. Know who your audience is and speak on their level. Number five, make a video that fits your medium. So if I'm making a video for YouTube, generally we'll do a 10 to 12 minute video, something like that. But if I were to do one for TikTok, it's gonna be a whole lot faster, a lot faster paced and it's a lot shorter. So make sure that that video that you're making isn't something that you're gonna put on all platforms because it won't fit on all platforms. It just won't, it doesn't work that way. You've gotta make a video that fits that platform. Now let's talk about some of the different parts of videos. I initially didn't have any type of buffer video, okay? So it was like a little short scene, B-roll stuff and some music and stuff just to kind of attention reset for people. And then I put them on my videos and I thought it looked cool, I thought it looked professional but I've since graduated away from them and I just try to get right to the point. So putting a buffer video in there is something you can do. I would say nowadays it's kind of gone by the wayside. I know initially when I first did videos I had a green screen and I would put different things behind me. And if you notice I have no green screen now. It's just me sitting in my office. You can see out my backyard. It's a real video, okay? So things do evolve but I would almost say don't put a buffer video in there but I do wanna tell you about it for those people who do wanna do it. I think initially when you get started a quick personal intro is good. I used to say, hey, I'm JR Fisher. I've sold millions of dollars about digital and physical products online. In this video I'm gonna teach you X. I don't even say that anymore. I figure at this point they're gonna know me or not know me and I just wanna get to the point. I wanna get them the information that they need. I think that's a whole lot more important than trying to impress them with who I am. If they clicked on a video and they wanna know how to do SEO that's what I wanna teach them and I wanna teach them SEO. If they wanna know how to sell a product that's what I wanna teach them. If you wanna script for a video that's what I wanna do is just teach you that. So I think it's more important to cut to the chase. So once you've done that and you've told them what they're gonna get out of the video, you told them what you're gonna teach them. Like I did in the beginning of this video you wanna get to your content. Your content is simple, it's your content. It's whatever you promise them. I will tell you this, don't promise somebody something in a video in the beginning of the video or in a title or in a description and not deliver on it. Bad thing to do, okay? You wanna make sure you always deliver on what you say. You know that at the end of this video you're also gonna get a free download. I'm gonna have that for you. I'm also gonna give you a free course. It's a $97 course. You can click on that and get that. And I'm gonna deliver on that. So this is the content portion. This is where I'm actually giving you what I said I was gonna do. Now after you've done your content you're gonna have what's called a CTA or a call to action. Now the reason I do a video is to teach you something, okay? I wanna teach you something. But I have some calls to action too. There's something I wanna get out of this. So a call to action could be they could click and get a download. Like I'm gonna have a downloadable script for you, script template that you can use. However, I also have some courses. So below in the description you'll be able to click and look at some courses that I have. In addition to that, I have a free course, a $97 course. Some other things, call to action. I'm gonna want you to give me a thumbs up. So I'm gonna ask you right now. Give me a thumbs up for this video. I'm gonna ask you to subscribe. I want you to subscribe. This is the time you would ask somebody to subscribe. Now I also asked them in the beginning, in many cases, because they may not get to the end. Okay, something may interrupt them. They may not get to the end of the video. So you can ask for that up front. Ask for subscription. Ask for them to turn on bell notifications. A lot of people, when they watch your video, are gonna think, well, if I subscribe, I'll know about all of his videos. They won't know anything. They're just a subscriber. The only way that you and everybody else are gonna know if I do a video or I go live is if you turn on all bell notifications. If you turn on all bell notifications, you'll be notified each and every single time I do a video. So I have to tell them about that. So that's pretty much it. That's a concise way to do a video. If you go through these steps and you do these things, you are going to succeed on YouTube. It's really important that you do that. But like I said, I do have a template that you can download if you wanna have a downloadable template. But the biggest thing is to get started. Get started, get started, get started. Okay, that's where I see more people mess up than anything else is they keep planning and they keep saying, I've got this great idea. I have people come to me all the time and say, I've got this idea to do X. I wanna sell this product. I wanna make this video. I wanna teach this thing. Do you think it would work? And I don't know what they want me to say. I really don't because I don't know if it's gonna work. I have no idea until you do it. I don't know how you're gonna present it. I don't know what you're gonna sell it for. I don't know what you're giving away. I don't know how good you are at your stuff. I don't know. The only way to know is to put it out in the market and let the market decide. And if it doesn't work, like a lot of things I've done, if it doesn't work, try something else. And if that doesn't work, guess what you're gonna do? You're gonna try something else. That's what you have to do. And as long as you keep trying, you'll keep knocking all these failures out of the way and you're gonna get to the successes. That's how it works. It's not instantaneous, okay? It is hard work. It's hard work, okay? I'm exhausted right now from doing videos. I've been doing them all day and I've got hours more to do these videos. It's hard work. That's what it takes. That's what it will always take. There is no easy way to success. And those people who find an easy way to success, they win the lottery. They oftentimes will blow all that money and it ruins their life. So the best way to earn money is to earn money, okay? That's the best way to earn it. And you're gonna feel good about yourself if you earn a bunch of money and you did it on your own.
