YouTubers, don't fall behind in 2025 (here's how)

Hey!

Yesterday, I drove for an hour to ask a man in his 50s to insult the shape of my feet... on camera.

Because “YouTube”, ok?

Seeing as I’m finally making my own “scriptwriting advice” YouTube videos this year, I want to make sure they’re as fun to make as they will be to watch.

So I’m taking my time and going the extra mile for moments like this (which will probably only be in the video for around 3s).

But in the meantime, as I’m busy scripting and filming my 2025 content…

…it pays to keep an eye on what my scriptwriting peers are making, too 👀

So, in the spirit of making all our scriptwriting better this year, here are 3 videos from other creators whose content I think you’ll enjoy:

1. John Dorman - “killer youtube scripts, explained” - incredible advice + insane use of props and set design. A joy to watch!
2. Aprilynne Alter - “how to edit a killer youtube video (for the 2025 algorithm)” - technically about editing, but watch this (especially the first half) with your scriptwriting hat on and you’ll find a ton of stuff to apply.
3. Bryan Ng - “How To Script YouTube Videos 10x Faster (This Changed Everything)” - I’m all about making scriptwriting sustainable, and these 5 tips from Bryan will get you writing YouTube scripts way faster.

Don’t Get Left Behind

Yes, you’ve got to have your own style...

...but it’d be silly not to watch what your friends are doing and identify what’s working really well.

For this, and to find videos like the ones I linked above...

...I use a “channel tracker”:

This channel tracker is one of the most useful features inside 1of10.

In my case, I've created a specific tracker for “YouTube Scriptwriting”.

I add channels like the ones above, so whenever they upload a new video, it'll appear on my tracked list.

(But only if it's an outlier! So I’ll only see videos from those channels that are outperforming their recent channel average.)

This makes it incredibly easy to see the best-performing, new content from channels I admire... in a single place.

Before 1of10:

• Open 100 tabs for every channel I want to take inspiration from.
• Sort by “Most Viewed”.
• Manually review each video to check whether the “most viewed” videos are recent... or from 10 years ago.

With 1of10:

• Open one tab.
• Add inspirational channels to my channel tracker.
• See all their best-performing videos in one place.

You know I’ve been a huge fan of 1of10 for more than a year, so I’m super grateful to Richard and the team for partnering up with me these last few months.

You can get access to 1of10’s suite of tools with 50% off using the code "GEORGE50".

That's all for this week.

For now, I'm practising filming with my new 360⁰ camera for the video I'm working on right now 😆

Speak soon,
