Creating a video script template helps you create a plan and stick to it, while also keeping you focused on your point. Here's how to create one.

Video Script Templates Make Your Life Easier

Creating a video series or podcast is a great way to build an audience, share your content and grow your business. However, creating good content takes time and effort, and good content starts with a good outline.

Drafting an outline, show flow, or script is an important step in creating a video series or podcast. It helps you create a plan and stick to it, while also keeping you focused on your point. In this episode, we talk about why scripting is important, what to put in it, how we use our show flow, and how to create video script templates for your own projects.

Here's what we discuss in this episode:

• Why you need an outline, show flow, or video script template
• Structured flexibility
• The five buckets that make up our template (that you can adjust for yourself)
• How we use our Show Flow
• Writing scripts and creating templates

Words of WisdomAs busy business owners who have a lot on our plates, the structure helps keep us in line. And then the other thing that the structure helps with is it helps listeners and viewers know kind of what to expect. — JenI've been livestreaming since 2017. Every week you learn things, you learn what works and what doesn't. I studied other people who also livestream and their methods. Then I put the show flow together based on that. I try to keep it simple enough that it turns into the show notes because we can plug in the resources. — ShelleyCan't-Miss ResourcesShow Flow Template and Instructions

Tweaks of the Week

• Canny customer feedback app: use this to create product roadmaps (for future features) and collect features from your customers.
• JotForm/Formly: on the show, Shelley talked about Formly as an app alternative to JotForm, Paperform, etc. After further testing, Formly was found to be a subpar product, so on Messages & Methods, Toby & Shelley gave a complete tutorial on JotForm. This is why we test apps and go through 7-day trials — we learn what's good... and what's not.

Inspirational Nugget

• Where have I lost the forest for the trees?

It is important to take breaks and celebrate the wins when they happen.

The same is true of working in our business. The day-to-day work doesn’t seem to matter, but when we look back at the portfolio of the content we have created, we can see it all adds up.

When we have people reach out to us for a consultation or proposal, it feels like it’s out of the blue, but I know they’ve been thinking about it for weeks, months, or years before they are ready. If we stopped making offers, they wouldn’t get the help they need to move forward.
