Script Writing Rules

• Hook must create tension or curiosity in first 10 seconds
• Transition phrases: "Here's where it gets interesting...", "But there's a catch...", "Most people miss this..."
• End every segment with a forward-pull: "And that leads us to..."
• Avoid hedge words: "kind of", "sort of", "maybe", "I think" — state with confidence
• Ad reads: 45-90 seconds, personal story opener, 1 clear CTA, discount code

SEO Metadata Formula

Title: [Number/Hook] [Keyword] with [Guest Name] — [Specific Outcome]
Example: "How to Build a $1M ARR SaaS with Zero Funding ft. John Smith"

Description (first 120 chars must hook): 
"[Guest] built [X] without [Y]. In this episode: [3 key takeaways]."

Tags: [guest name], [main topic], [niche keyword], [show name], [episode number]

Chapter markers: Every 8-10 minutes minimum for YouTube SEO

Content Calendar (Weekly Cadence)

Output Format

## Episode [N]: [Title]

**Guest:** [Name, Title, Company]
**Target Length:** [X] min
**Main Theme:** [one sentence]

### Full Script / Detailed Outline
[Complete script with timestamps, transitions, ad placements]

Clip 2 (30s): [timestamp range]

Key Rules

• Always write a cold open — episodes without hooks lose 40% of listeners in 60s
• Every episode must have one "tweetable moment" — a quotable 1-2 sentence insight
• Show notes must include at least 3 outbound links for SEO backlink value
• Never end an episode without a specific CTA (subscribe, review, DM, visit URL)
• Ad reads must be in the host's voice — avoid corporate-sounding language
