Before you start writing your Video Sales Letter (VSL) script, you need to create an outline that contains ALL of your key Plot Points.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s way too easy to lose sight of what the plot actually is if you haven\u2019t mapped it out specifically.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve created an outline that works very well for our company and we\u2019re more than happy to share it with you to tweak and adopt as your own. A few points to keep in mind, however\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This is a framework, not a set of commandments. You should absolutely modify it to suit your style and audience.<\/li>\n<li>Along with each Plot Point is a suggested number of accompanying slides. This is a rough guide to indicate approximately how long you should be spending on the section. If you\u2019re planning a long VSL, aim for the top of the range; if you want something shorter, aim for the minimum.<\/li>\n<li>There are over 30 Plot Points in our outline so I\u2019ll only briefly summarize each one. Over the coming weeks I\u2019ll expand on each Plot Point in separate articles, but there should be enough here to get you started if you\u2019re ready to move forward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t already, I strongly recommend reading the first three articles in this series. This outline will make a lot more sense (and will be much easier to implement) if you\u2019ve read the previous guidance and carried out the recommended exercises.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/learn\/marketing\/video-marketing\/first-5-critical-steps-creating-sleek-video-sales-letters\/\"><b>Read (Part 1): Where Do I Start?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/learn\/marketing\/use-pacing-propel-vsls-rising-action-catapult-conversions-even-youre-total-newb\/\"><b>Read (Part 2): Rising Action<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/learn\/marketing\/7-essential-strategies-for-writing-killer-copy\/\"><b>Read (Part 3): Writing Killer Copy<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Okay, let\u2019s get started\u2026<\/p>\n<p><b>#1. Why you want to watch this video (3-6 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Think of your opening like a headline on a sales page. You must deliver your key benefit instantly and it had better be awesome! Make the viewer believe that they\u2019re going to get a great result from watching this video.<\/p>\n<p>You can go in with a one line introduction, telling the viewer your name, but then go straight into your big promise \u2013 the viewer is going to experience &lt;this extraordinary outcome&gt; and no longer have to put up with &lt;this critical pain point&gt;.<\/p>\n<p><b>#2. This is important (1-2 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve given them an emotional reason to keep watching, now hit them with a logical motivation. Show some social proof, offer a big reward, or go with some scarcity.<\/p>\n<p><b>#3. The Promised Land of your future (3-5 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>This is an extension of the \u201cstick\u201d phase. The viewer probably isn\u2019t yet completely committed to watching the whole video, so give them some more benefits.<\/p>\n<p>Without revealing anything specific about your product or service (this is going to come later), describe what their life could be like. Get them to imagine themselves in the Promised Land.<\/p>\n<p><b>#4. What\u2019s the problem? (5-10 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Agitate the pain they\u2019re experiencing that your (still unrevealed) product is going to fix. Spend some time talking about the anguish and frustration they\u2019re currently experiencing and get them to relive it.<\/p>\n<p>Look into the future and ask them to consider how things are only going to get worse as time passes. The urgency in your presentation should be intensifying.<\/p>\n<p><b>#5. You are not alone! (1-3 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve done a good job with the last Plot Point, your viewer may now be a little distracted. Bring them back into the present by demonstrating that their experience is normal and is shared by many people. Use statistics if you have them.<\/p>\n<p><b>#6. It\u2019s not your fault (1-3 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You want your viewer thinking about the pain, not about their own culpability. So, now you\u2019re going to demonstrate why they\u2019re not to blame for their current predicament. Shift responsibility to irresponsible \u201cexperts,\u201d common misunderstandings, changing circumstances, and so on.<\/p>\n<p><b>#7. There\u2019s hope (3-9 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s light at the end of the tunnel! You\u2019re still not going to reveal your product, so think of this as a tease.<\/p>\n<p>Introduce some of the tips that will help them with their pain, but be a little vague to keep curiosity peaked. Give the strategies you use cool-sounding names and run through them quickly so the viewer doesn\u2019t have the time to start speculating.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3054 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Behind-the-scenes.png\" alt=\"Go behind the scenes of your journey\" width=\"1400\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Behind-the-scenes.png 1400w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Behind-the-scenes-600x386.png 600w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Behind-the-scenes-1024x658.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Behind-the-scenes-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Behind-the-scenes-696x447.png 696w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Behind-the-scenes-1068x687.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Behind-the-scenes-653x420.png 653w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>#8.

Bottom line transfer of happiness (1 slide)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>What was the primary revelation from your \u201cGoing behind the curtain\u201d story?<\/p>\n<p>Make sure that whatever you describe in this Plot Point bleeds into the idea that ANYONE can replicate your success.<\/p>\n<p><b>#10. Credentialize \u2013 who am I? (3-5 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>What have you achieved since finding success and becoming an expert in your field?<\/p>\n<p>Be careful not to put yourself on too high of a pedestal \u2013 you need to stay relatable. Remind your viewer what your life <i>used to<\/i> be like and the pain you <i>used to<\/i> be in.<\/p>\n<p><b>#11. How can your journey and hard work benefit the viewer \u2013 what could happen? (2-4 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ve just claimed authority AND given your viewer a reason to relate to you. Now you\u2019re going to <i>remove their pain<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Describe in explicit detail what will happen to your viewer if they apply YOUR knowledge and experience to THEIR problems.<\/p>\n<p><b>#12. It gets better (3-6 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The intensity is rising again. You just talked about your journey from zero to hero \u2013 now you\u2019re going to up the stakes.<\/p>\n<p>Describe how, after you completed your journey (see Plot Point #8), you doubled down and started experimenting with different ideas. What you discovered amazed you and will, in turn, amaze your viewer.<\/p>\n<p><b>#13. It gets AWESOME \u2013 there\u2019s a system (5-15 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Now your story peaks. Describe the coolest feature and benefit of your product (still without naming it \u2013 we\u2019re almost there) and explain how everything came together to create your system or product or software app or whatever it is that you\u2019re going to sell.<\/p>\n<p>Give the viewer hope that this might be something they can also utilize. Your story should feel like it\u2019s reaching a climax.<\/p>\n<p><b>#14. It\u2019s called\u2026 (1 slide)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Reveal the name of your product. That\u2019s it.<\/p>\n<p><b>#15. The biggest benefits of the system (3-8 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Now that the cat\u2019s out of the bag, you can go to town on revealing the things that make your product so special. You\u2019re not going to share everything (your video needs to end, eventually) but you\u2019re no longer going to hold back on identifying the best bits.<\/p>\n<p>Begin with the benefits and use emotional words to describe the results your customer will experience.<\/p>\n<p><b>#16. The features of the product that make it work (3-8 features with 1-3 slides per feature)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Tell a mini story about each of the features that you\u2019re going to highlight and follow it with the benefits it produces.<\/p>\n<p><b>#17.

Proof (testimonials and case studies) (3-5 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The best testimonials are not always those with the most outstanding results. Try and inject some variety by including case studies from people who found success with your product, even in the midst of adversity.<\/p>\n<p>You should also select testimonials that naturally overcome objections that might be sitting in the mind of your viewer.<\/p>\n<p><b>#19. Who is this for? (1-2 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Describe the types of people that will benefit from this product (personality types, niches, business types, income levels, etc.).<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t go over the top and say it will work for everyone. If you make your product sound too good to be true, your viewer will start thinking of reasons to object.<\/p>\n<p><b>#20. Who is this NOT for? (2-4 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t disqualify a qualified buyer, but to avoid the perception that you\u2019re presenting your product as some kind of panacea, think of a few obvious qualifiers.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re struggling to come up with any, fall back on basic attitude qualifiers such as, \u201cYou must want success,\u201d or \u201cYou must be willing to follow the steps.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>#21. What is it worth? (2-3 examples with 1-2 slides per example)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Highlight competing products that are more expensive and not as effective. Start with something that is ridiculously expensive compared to your price and then come down to something that is more realistic but still more expensive.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t reveal your price yet but indicate that your solution isn\u2019t going to be anywhere near these prices.<\/p>\n<p><b>#22. You have a REAL CHOICE! (3-5 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Give the viewer the power by letting them know that they have a choice. They can continue to struggle and try to solve their problems on their own (agitating the pain again) or they can take action.<\/p>\n<p>What will their life be like if they don\u2019t solve their problems? What will their life be like if they do?<\/p>\n<p><b>#23. Massive value TODAY! (3-5 slides)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Revealing the price is going to take you a while, so settle in. Begin with the good news that although your product is worth X and it usually sells for Y, it\u2019s not going to cost the viewer anything close to that.<\/p>\n<p>Then give your viewer a valid and truthful reason why you\u2019re making them a special offer today. This could be to celebrate a milestone, the opening of the business, or the success of your product so far.<\/p>\n<p>Alternatively, it could be because you have excess stock or it could be because you have only 100 units left and you want to move them all before the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>A nice fallback is to make the special offer because you want more success stories and more case studies. Make sure, if you state this, that you do actually follow up with your customers and get their testimonials.<\/p>\n<p><b>#24. Bonus stack (1 slide per bonus)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Add to the value of your offer by including bonuses. Reveal each bonus on its own, individual slide and, in addition to revealing the bonus name, describe the features it offers, the advantage it gives, and the benefits it provides.<\/p>\n<p><b>#25. Bonus benefits of benefits (1 slide per bonus)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Offer an approximate value for each bonus (or be specific if the bonus is currently selling elsewhere on its own) and describe the benefits of the benefits for each item.<\/p>\n<p><b>#26. Total value of package (1 slide)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Itemize, on one slide, the regular price of your product and the approximate value of each bonus. Show the combined value of everything they\u2019re going to receive today.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure your \u201ctotal value\u201d figure is realistic, otherwise it loses any meaning. Aim for a \u201ctotal value\u201d price that is around 4-5 times the price you\u2019re going to eventually reveal.<\/p>\n<p><b>#27. Takeaway pricing (1 slide)<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Tell the viewer, first of all, what they WON\u2019T be paying today. Cross out the \u201ctotal value\u201d price, cross out the bonuses price, and finally cross out the regular price of your product.<\/p>\n<p>Throw in one, final tease, by saying that, if they buy today, they\u2019ll pay less than half, or less than a third, or less than a quarter, or less than a fraction (whichever applies) of the regular price.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-3056\" src=\"https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Guarantee.png\" alt=\"Before your reveal the price, give them your iron clad guarantee.\" width=\"1400\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Guarantee.png 1400w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Guarantee-600x386.png 600w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Guarantee-1024x658.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Guarantee-300x193.png 300w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Guarantee-696x447.png 696w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Guarantee-1068x687.png 1068w, https:\/\/www.genesisdigital.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Guarantee-653x420.png 653w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><b>#28.

I\u2019ve used the singular throughout because it never hurts to write your VSL script as if you\u2019re talking to and attempting to persuade a single person. It helps with making your copy feel personable and direct.<\/p>\n<p>You should now have everything you need to write your VSL script and put it into production. I hope you have nothing but success with your efforts but don\u2019t be too disappointed if you don\u2019t hit a home run on your first go. Just keep practicing and tweaking, always measuring your results to see what works for you and what doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>I also recommend you bookmark this page so you can refer to it easily in the future.
