3. Creating Your Script (in-depth)

Ready to write your script? I'm breaking it down. 

INTRO VIDEO TEMPLATE SCRIPT CAN BE DOWNLOADED VIA THE TOP LEFT BUTTON.

I have added in opening lines and sentences for you to utilise in your video. Simply go and fill in the blanks that pertain to your business. 

Be sure to have already written down the ‘needs’ and ‘problems’ of your niche. You are going to use these keywords and sentences. 

*We’re going to aim for a 45 second to 1 minute video.

NOW WRITE YOUR INTRO

THE BODY: EXPLAINING HOW YOU HELP SOLVE THEIR PROBLEM. 

In this section I want you to think of max. THREE points of your business that explains HOW you’re actually solving the problem you said in the sentence above. 

Ideally your sentences should follow a simple structure of [what you are providing] and then finishing with [how it adds value]. I would also advise to think of any objections that someone might have and answer them in this section.

REMEMBER it’s about what your niche would find valuable and helpful.

I’m going to continue with the examples I’ve done above to give you an idea of how it can work for your business.

Each week I run a quick 30 minute high intensity dance class [the what] to get your heart pumping to burn those calories in a short amount of time [the value], whilst still having fun.

The dances are super easy to learn and we always choose the latest pop music for you to dance too! [answering a potential objection]

Time goes by so quickly and before you know it you have completed your workout for the day! [going back to the main value point]

EXAMPLE TWO - Custom Online Sticker Store

6. Choosing Music + Voiceover

In this section we are going to talk about how to choose a song for your intro video!

I will cover:
