there is growing demand for scriptwriters, as content that engages through audio or video gains popularity. Platforms such as tiktok or youtube, when used for business , use videos of varying lengths to attract customers and provide information about products. Likewise, podcasting channels or interviews discussing products and industry changes with a conversational tone. depending on the platform, and the channel sharing your content, different requirements for your scriptwriting will be necessary. Conversational podcasts look for some freedom, outlining the basics but giving the speakers freedom to ad-lib. Alternatively, informational videos explaining the software bug definition or demonstrating statistical analysis features may need specific vocabulary included.
Change the soundtrack – creativity begets creativity. Sometimes the easiest way to spark a little creativity is by changing your music selection. You might start with something off the deep focus playlist on spotify , but if that isn’t working mix it up for some r&b or whatever gets you going. Music can be a great way to let your subconscious work on ideas and thoughts while you are humming along to a tune. Write a super basic outline – staring at a blank page is a recipe for disaster when you are trying to be creative. That white space and blinking cursor are both mocking your inability to craft something amazing on the spot.
4. Do a 10-minute free write
Let’s say that you know your tone of voice and you know which topic you need to address. Before you do any article-specific research, spend some time free-writing. Put an alarm on for 10 minutes and write freely on what comes into your mind on the topic. Authors use this technique when they are struggling with writer’s block and it is just as useful for copywriters. How should you go about it? don’t stop writing and do it the way that you think. You can write down bullet points or random ideas, anything that jumps out at you with regards to the topic.
Speaking of writer’s block, have you tried freewriting? sit down, set a timer for 10 minutes, and start writing. It’ll probably be a terrible draft, but perfection isn’t the point. It’ll get you out of your head and kickstart the writing process.
5. Find some data
If you've got something meaningful to add to current events: say it. It might just be a short tweet, but if that tweet gets retweeted, and retweeted, and retweeted (you get the picture), it will draw people to the rest of your content. Try to find recent interesting studies that are relevant to your industry, pick a few of the most interesting bits of data and tell your audience why they matter.
One of the easiest ways to write what people want to read is to find out what they’re interested in reading! there are a couple ways to do this. You can ask them; surveys, focus groups, market research and one-on-one interviews are all great sources. And you can hang out where they hang out; social media sites can be a gold mine of data. Information you can gather includes: what real people are saying they value most about your product or service. What they don’t like about your (or similar) offerings. The problems they’re trying to solve. The words and phrases they use to express themselves.
