Business of Scriptwriting

I'm trying to 2x my scriptwriting output. Want to join me?

Lately, I've been feeling a little lost.

Last year, I was all-in on two huge projects:

  1. Launching my scriptwriting course.
  2. Launching and running my agency.

But the course is out. And the agency is... yeah 😬👇

I'm sure you've experienced this feeling.

When you're so focused on a big project, stuck in the weeds... that emerging back into daylight can feel a little disorienting.

So, while I still have the ongoing pleasure of chilling with you inside the YTSP community (which I LOVE btw... I could see myself doing that for as many years as YouTube exists)...

...I want to find new ways to help as many YouTubers write engaging scripts as possible.

And... I've had a couple of ideas I think you might like:

What if you could double the number of videos you create per month (by working smarter, not harder?)

In preparation for the re-launch of my own channel, I've been refining how I write my own scripts.

The goal is to avoid overthinking and simply to move as many scripts from "idea" to "ready to film" as possible, without impacting quality.

And... it's working 👀

I'm lining up a bunch of scripts that are ready to film, and the process is getting faster.

I even managed to write a script in 30 minutes last week ⚡️

My question - what if I brought you into this process?

There are a few ways I could see this working:

  • Open-sourcing my scripts as I write them, for you to see behind-the-scenes and take inspiration.
  • Creating a "sprint" type program where we hold each other accountable for a set duration (say 4 weeks), and thereby write more scripts per week.
  • Or... something else entirely. How can I serve you in the most practical way to help you write better scripts, faster?

Feel free to email me at george@georgeblackman.com if you'd like to get involved in any of these initiatives!

That's all for this week.

Speak soon,
George 👋
