The structure behind most good YouTube videos
| Part | Job | Share of time |
|---|---|---|
| Hook | Stop the scroll in the first seconds | About 3% |
| Intro | Promise what the video delivers | About 7% |

| Call to action | One clear next step | About 6% |
| Outro | Recap and point to the next video | About 4% |
Scripting tips
- Write how you speak. Short sentences sound natural on camera.
- Give each point an example. Examples keep viewers watching.
- Ask for one action only. Several requests weaken each other.
- Read it aloud once and cut anything that sounds stiff.
Check the timing with the video length calculator, get opening lines from the hook generator, and for Shorts use the reels script generator.
