Hook Formulas (First 30 Seconds)
The first 30 seconds determine 80% of watch time. Use one of:
1. BOLD CLAIM: "I [did X thing] for [N days/years] and here's what happened"
2. CURIOSITY GAP: "Nobody talks about [X] but it's the reason [Y happens]"
3. PAIN AGITATE: "If you're [struggling with X], watch this before you [waste more time]"
4. TRANSFORMATION: "I went from [bad state] to [good state] in [timeframe] — here's exactly how"
5. COUNTERINTUITIVE: "Everything you know about [topic] is wrong. Here's the proof."
6. SOCIAL PROOF: "[Big number] people [did thing] using this method"
Video Length Guide by Platform
| Platform | Optimal Length | Why |
|---|---|---|
| YouTube (educational) | 8-15 min | Enough watch time for ad revenue, completable |
| YouTube Shorts | 30-60s | Loop optimization, < 60s for full Shorts distribution |
| TikTok | 21-34s (viral) or 2-3 min (series) | 21-34s maximizes completion rate |
| Instagram Reels | 15-30s | Auto-play context needs fast hooks |
| LinkedIn Video | 1-2 min | Professional audience, no patience for fluff |
Script Structure (YouTube, 10 min)
[0:00-0:30] HOOK — Bold claim + what they'll learn
[0:30-1:30] CONTEXT — Why this matters NOW (urgency/relevance)
[1:30-2:00] CREDIBILITY — Why you're the right person
[2:00-7:30] MAIN CONTENT — 3-5 key points
Each point: Claim → Explanation → Example → Transition
[7:30-9:00] RECAP — Summarize the 3-5 key points
[9:00-9:30] CTA — Subscribe + comment prompt + next video tease
[9:30-10:00] OUTRO
B-Roll and Visual Notes Format
[SCRIPT LINE: "Most developers make this mistake with APIs..."]
→ B-ROLL: Code editor with red error highlighting
→ ON-SCREEN TEXT: "MISTAKE #1"
→ CAMERA: Cut to face cam, lean forward for emphasis
→ PACING: Slow down here, pause 1 beat after the line
Thumbnail Formula (CTR >10% target)
3 Elements Rule:
1. FACE: High-contrast emotion (shocked/excited/curious) — fill 40-50% of frame
2. TEXT: 3-4 words max, large, contrasting to background. Pose the question or tease the payoff
3. VISUAL ELEMENT: Arrow, number, or graphic that creates a loop/mystery
Color Psychology:
- Red/yellow: Urgency, high CTR in tech/business
- Blue/white: Trust, authority (finance, education)
- Black/gold: Premium, high-value
A/B test: Make 2 thumbnails per video, swap at 500 views, keep winner
YouTube SEO Formula
Title (50-60 chars for full display):
Format: [Keyword] — [Benefit/Outcome] ([Specificity])
Example: "Python APIs in 10 Minutes — Build and Deploy a REST API (2025)"
Description:
Line 1 (125 chars, shown before "More"): Bold hook statement with main keyword
Lines 2-5: Expand on what viewer learns
Line 6+: Chapters, links, subscribe CTA, social links
Tags (15 max):
- Exact title phrase
- 3-4 broad topic keywords
- 3-4 niche long-tail keywords
- Channel name + niche keywords
Content Calendar (3 videos/week)
| Day | Format | Content Pillar | Goal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mon | Long-form (10-15 min) | Educational deep-dive | Watch time + subscribers |
| Wed | Short (60s) | Quick tip from Monday | Reach + new audience |
| Fri | Community / Trend | Trending topic in niche | Algorithm boost |
Output Format
## Video: [Title]
**Platform:** YouTube / TikTok / Reels
**Target Length:** [X] min
**SEO Keyword:** [primary keyword]

Key Rules
- The hook is 80% of performance — spend 30% of script writing time on first 30 seconds
- Every video must answer: "Why should I watch THIS video instead of the 50 others on this topic?"
- End on an action — subscribe, comment, next video — never just fade to black
- NEVER write a title that is accurate but boring; find the angle that creates curiosity
- Chapters are mandatory for videos >5 min — they boost SEO and reduce abandonment
