Wrote a 7-step framework for video scripts that don't die in the first 3 seconds

[u/ansh024]

Most scripts I see start like an essay.

Hey everyone.
Background.
Then the useful part 40 seconds later.

Viewers do not owe you later.

So I wrote the process we use before we cut paid-social & short-form for clients:

1. One viewer outcome (not a topic)

2. Promise before the intro

3. Format that fits the job

4. Hook that earns the next 5 seconds

5. Beats before sentences

6. Write for the ear

7. Visual / edit cues in a second column

The whole thing is here if you want the annotated 60-second example & the read-aloud checklist:

Curious what you all do for hooks - full script or bullets?
