Purpose::

Write one relatable 20-30 second video script for your audience.

Rules::

  • 45-65 spoken words; a hook, then a takeaway or punchline

  • No invented results, no sales pitch

Inventory::

  • Your last 5 scripts (to avoid repeats)

Steps::

  1. 1Pick a fresh angle the audience lives every week
  2. 2Write the hook (see Write TikTok hooks)
  3. 3Write the middle in 2-3 lines with one turn
  4. 4End on the takeaway or punchline
  5. 5Count the words; read it aloud in 30 seconds; reply with the script

Metrics::

  • 45-65 words that fit 30 seconds
  • Nothing like the last 5 scripts
