The ultimate YouTube scriptwriting system

Having spent two years writing scripts for YouTubers ranging from around 30k subscribers to 3m+… I noticed something concerning.

Despite getting good results, working with nice people and having a lot of fun…

I was consistently stressed out 🤯


Every time I sat down to write, I found myself overwhelmed by decision fatigue.

I just couldn’t figure out the best way to approach a new script.

I’d end up sort of “brute forcing” it every time, jumping between different parts of the script to try and tie it all together in a way that made sense.

I’d learned lots about retention from writing this newsletter, but I also struggled to identify whether each new script was watertight against the same retention-related mishaps from the time before.

In short, I didn’t have a system…

Introducing: The YouTube Scriptwriter’s Playbook

That’s why I’m incredibly excited to announce that my complete guide to systemized YouTube scriptwriting is out now 🚀


You see, having realised why I was feeling so overwhelmed while writing, I spent the last 6 months creating the system I always wished I’d had.

Now, my writing process looks like this:

  1. Prepare – spend time thinking about my audience avatar in depth.
  2. Brainstorm – conceive of every possible detail I might want to include in the script.
  3. Structure – narrow these down and create a robust structure.
  4. Write – connect A to B to C using the essential rules of progression.
  5. Optimize – edit the draft with a set list of retention-related improvements.

I wanted to create a system that would not only improve the quality of my output, but that would also reduce the amount of stress I was feeling while writing.

Transparently, if you aren’t interested in making the investment in YTSP, I strongly encourage you to implement a system like this in your writing anyway!

You’ll undoubtedly experience both of these benefits.

But, if you are interested…

The YouTube Scriptwriter’s Playbook is waiting for you 🥳

While I’ve briefly outlined my system above, YTSP goes into a whole new level of detail…

We’re talking:

  • Checklists for optimizing retention, hooks, CTAs and more.
  • Deep dives into the TWO essential elements that will make or break your video.
  • Line-by-line script analyses and breakdowns.

And much, much more.

You’ll start with a half-formed video idea… and you’ll walk away with a fully written, retention-optimized script that’s ready to film 🎥

So, if you’re ready…
