If you were asked how to best hold viewers’ attention at the beginning of a YouTube video, what would you say?

In this course, I’m going to show you how to use a 3-part formula for scripting your next YouTube video and why it’s essential that you get the first 30 seconds of your videos right. Because if you lose the attention of viewers in the beginning, they may just click off, and the rest of your video will have been a wasted effort.

Welcome to Scripting Your First 30 Seconds YouTube Video. My name is Cal Hyslop and I’ll be your guide. I’m a YouTuber probably not much different than yourself, and I’m excited to show you the tips and tricks I use for more engaging videos.

In this class, we’ll cover:

Why the First 30 seconds is Crucial
One Thought Provoking Question (that fuels internal dialogue)
Full Story Snapshot
Set the Stakes
Read Out Loud for Time
Class Project

So if you’re looking for a method to better grab your YouTube viewers’ attention, then this course is for you.

Also, this is the first of three videos dedicated to Scripting, Filming, and Editing the first 30 seconds of your YouTube videos. So be sure to check out video #2 on filming and then video #3 on editing. That way you can see how everything comes together for the most effective 30-second YouTube hook possible.

Links to the filming and editing videos are below:
