Secrets From a YouTube Scriptwriter
What Would You Like To Know?
Hey!
Since last week a bunch of new people have signed up to ‘Write On Time’ - a massive hello to you all! 👋
If I might ask, where did you hear about me? I rarely promote this on Twitter, so my guess is that you might have seen my name pop up on the Creatorpreneur Newsletter?
I’d love for you to reply and let me know 🤓
But that’s not all I’d like to hear from you…
⛴ Set The Course With Me
More than anything, I want to figure out where to take this thing.
Even having a few dozen of you around here helps me steer the ship 🙏
These are the three content buckets I’m trying to navigate:
Freelancing
Online Writing For Creators
YouTube Insights
I wonder if you could help?
Which do you want to know about? Or is it some combination of the three?
If it helps, here’s a more specific look at the things I do (and have done):
I’ve written YouTube scripts with creators like Ali Abdaal and Justin Moore, and over the last couple of weeks I’ve written some scripts with a chap who worked with Mr Beast for over a year too 👀
I launched and wrote the Creatorpreneur Newsletter and Twitter content (until approx 1 month ago) and now contribute to Justin’s newsletter. I also spend a lot of time repurposing videos, newsletters and articles into tweet threads for various clients.
I’ve dabbled a little with online courses too. I researched and wrote a 50+ lesson course with Ali (uncertain release date), and created the launch strategy for his Part-Time Creatorpreneur course.
I’ve also had the pleasure of speaking to some pretty amazing creators as part of all this, e.g. Pat Flynn, Marie Poulin, Tiago Forte, etc.
So, quite simply: What do you want to know?
Are you here for reflections on freelancing, YouTube strategy tips, or general titbits (yes, that’s how we spell it in the U.K.) about writing for interesting creators?
So hit reply and let me know! I’d hugely appreciate it :)
🎁 Free Stuff
I’ve also ended up creating a bunch of systems in Notion to keep track of my life as both a freelancer and writer.
I don’t want to hog them if they might be useful!
So, from the following, let me know what you might make use of and I’ll tidy them up for release:
Client Tracker
To Do List (general, or work-related)
Youtube Script Template
Newsletter Template
General Content Hub (script/newsletter/tweets/tiktoks/etc)
Or anything else you think I could build with the insights I might have?
Of course, until I create some sort of flagship template that does some mad sh*t, I’ll be releasing it all for free :)
Hit reply and let me know what you’d like.
You can grab my first free template on Gumroad here too. It tells you if your YouTube titles are too long.
That’s all for now. Thanks so much for signing up and have a brilliant weekend.
Until next week,
George 👋
🚢 All Aboard…
Eagle-eyed readers may have noticed my nautical terminology at the outset.
That’s because I’ve joined this cohort of Ship30For30, which is a course designed to supercharge your online writing - anyone reading this probably knows all about it!
It’s slightly short notice, but if you’re reading this within 3 hours of me sending it, you might still have time to sign up!
Or, if you’re already aboard, let me know!
