YouTube script generator

1. Write the topic as a promise, not a subject. “Choosing a first mechanical keyboard without overspending” gives the generator something to aim at. “Keyboards” does not.
2. Say who it is for. The same topic is a different video for someone on their first build and someone on their fifth.
3. Pick the format and the length. The format sets the skeleton: a tutorial moves step by step, a story builds towards a turn. The length decides how many sections fit.
4. Read the hook out loud. If you stumble anywhere, change the words until you don’t. It has to sound like you on your best take.

The outline is built so each section gives the viewer a reason to watch the next one. The line under each section starts with “But”, “So” or “Which means”. That is the bridge. If you could swap two sections without losing anything, the video is a list, and viewers can feel it. Keep the bridges when you write.

Anything marked [CHECK] is a fact the generator would not guess. Look it up or cut the line. Anything marked [STORY] is a spot for something that happened to you, and the question after the bar tells you which story to reach for.

Write each section to roughly the length the minutes imply. At a conversational pace of about 150 words a minute, an eight-minute video is about 1,200 words. The words to minutes calculator does the maths for other paces, and the online teleprompter will scroll the finished script for you.

• The hook’s question is answered late. The section that pays off the hook sits in the final third, so the reason to keep watching lasts.
• Every section has a job. It delivers something, raises a question, or answers one raised earlier. A section that does none of those gets cut.
• The ending points forward. One final payoff, then one specific next video. No recap and no moral.
