How to write a selling script for Reels
A viral video gathers views, but only one with a thought-out structure sells. A short-video script isn't a text "about the product" but a route for the viewer's attention from the first second to the action. Let's break down a working scheme.
1. Hook (0–2 seconds)
The first phrase or shot decides whether the video gets watched. The hook should grab a pain, curiosity or a promise. Examples: "If your Reels isn't getting views — here's why," "I spent $1,500 on ads and realized one thing." No weak intros like "hi everyone."
2. Problem
Name the audience's pain so the viewer recognizes themselves: "You post every day, but reach is falling." This holds attention and prepares them for the solution.
3. Solution
Show how the problem is solved — ideally through your product or approach, but without aggressive advertising. Specifics and steps work better than general words.
4. Proof
Back up the result: numbers, before/after, a review, a demo. Proof removes distrust — without it the "solution" sounds like a promise.
5. Call to action
At the end — one clear action: "message us in DMs," "link in bio," "save it so you don't lose it." One call, not three at once.
What to avoid
- A long intro instead of a hook.
- Overloading the screen with text.
- Several ideas in one video — one idea = one video.
- A "subscribe" call before you've given value.
