What can you use Asana for?

I like to use Asana for both business and personal tasks, but I’m going to focus solely on business tasks.

How to write YouTube scripts for better engagement

“I don’t know what to talk about…” That’s one of the biggest reasons people shy away from creating videos. But what if you always knew what you’re going to talk about? Keep watching to find out how to write youtube scripts for better engagement.

How to write YouTube scripts for better engagement

Today I’m going to talk about creating YouTube scripts for your videos and the foolproof formula that you can learn from watching any TV show or movie.

So, let’s get to it.

Always know what you’re going to talk about

Not knowing what to talk about was a big reason I didn’t create videos for a long time. I don’t like being unorganized and I’m not a great speaker when I have to improvise. 

If you think about it professional speakers or even actors wouldn’t go on stage without some sort of script. They wouldn’t know what to do or talk about. Of course, if you’re a veteran speaker then you’ll already be used to being on stage and knowing what’s going to happen. BUT as a beginner that’s a whole other story. There’s a lot that we’re not used to. Mainly, speaking to a camera or being comfortable in the spotlight. If you outline all the things you want to talk about, even if you stray away from the main topic, you’ll get back on track without losing time.
