One of my most actionable scriptwriting frameworks has been doing the rounds again this week on Twitter.

Whenever I apply it to a script, it tends to 4x a particular metric that we’ll discuss later.

We’ll talk about it later, but first, let’s get straight into the script reviews! 💪

Scriptwriting tip of the week

There are no YouTube “hacks”.

But this is the closest thing I’ve ever found to one 👇

Check out that tweet for a reminder of my 3-step CTA formula.

Every time I use it, the endscreen CTR goes 3-4x the channel average.

An awesome creator sent me a screenshot from their video which got a 19% CTR vs their average of 4.3% when they adapted the formula for their channel, so it’s worth using!

If you try it out, I’d love you to send me the results 💪

That’s all for now 🙂

Speak soon,

George 👋
