Realistic ways to make money as a writer: YouTube script writer

Even with the rise of ChatGpt and the like there is still a need for talented writers to help individuals in need for professional writing work. Here are some legit realistic tips of making money as a YouTube script writer.

Here are 10 tips for making money as a YouTube scriptwriter:

  1. Niche Down Your Expertise

Focus on a specific genre or niche (e.g., tech, lifestyle, gaming, or education). Specializing makes you more valuable to clients who want consistent, high-quality scripts within a particular area.

  1. Build a Portfolio

Showcase sample scripts or links to successful videos you’ve written for. If you’re starting, create mock scripts or write scripts for smaller channels to build credibility.

  1. Leverage Freelance Platforms

Join platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, or Freelancer where YouTubers often look for scriptwriters. Optimize your profile with relevant keywords like “YouTube scriptwriter,” “video content writer,” etc.

  1. Network with YouTubers

Engage in YouTube creator communities (Reddit, Facebook groups, Discord, etc.) to network with potential clients. Offer to write a free sample or a discounted first script to prove your value.

  1. Master SEO and Audience Targeting

Learn the basics of YouTube SEO (keywords, titles, descriptions) to ensure your scripts are optimized for searchability. Understanding what the audience wants will improve your script’s performance and lead to repeat clients.

  1. Offer Full-Service Packages

Consider offering more than just scripts, such as research, video ideas, or thumbnail text. The more you can handle, the more valuable and indispensable you become to content creators.

  1. Create a Personal Website

Build an online portfolio on your own website, showcasing your services, pricing, and testimonials. This gives you more professional credibility when reaching out to potential clients.

  1. Keep Up with Trends

Stay updated with the latest YouTube trends. Write scripts that are timely and relevant, which can help creators grow their channels. Your knowledge of trending topics adds to your value.

  1. Offer Competitive Rates and Upsells

Set fair and competitive pricing, especially if you’re new. As you gain experience, introduce premium services such as script revisions, voiceover coordination, or long-form content for higher-paying clients.

  1. Collaborate with Content Creators

Partner with creators on a revenue-share model, where you get a percentage of the earnings for videos you script, especially if you’re working with creators who have growing channels.

These tips will help you establish yourself as a successful YouTube scriptwriter.

A tale of two alphas and the need to compete….

Okay here’s the story

You have one alpha male we’ll name C-unit on YouTube that has a small channel and is competing in his chosen art. Comedy. Like all alpha’s he wants to compete and be on the top of the hill. 100k or A million subscribers.

C-uint’s comedy is okay. Hits and one to many misses. He sits at 20k. He is an alpha so it will never be enough even though in real life he’s millionaire and well off.

Now. Last year a dude we’ll call KB who also happens to be a millionaire starts off at similar small number of subscribers but advances to the top because of him throwing back killer comeback jokes at other millionaires in a counter attack move. KB even gives C-uint a bomp in popularity by having him on his channel.

C-uint is funny but not as funny as KB at roasting dudes at a scale that draws 100k views. C-uint is completely a alpha.

KB is an alpha that is selective about who he competes with and why.

One year later, C-uint issues the first strike at KB to challenge his position. It isn’t obvious at first he just makes fun of KB and gives his thoughts on KB and what he thinks is a sign of weakness in KB regarding a matter that don’t got shit to do with him. C-uint is an alpha.

C-unit gets tired of KB ignoring his challenge so he gets direct and calls him a weak bitch and his subscribers cult followers and all the bullshit.

Me at the time. I’m thinking. I’m wondering why the fuck C-uint cares about another man’s business or issues with another millionaire?

KB comes back with a rebuff. “I don’t know you and you don’t know me or the details about the issue your talking about.. Find something else to talk about.” KB says and doesn’t mention C-uint by name.

C-unit goes live and says, “I ain’t afraid of you.”

Hmm. KB didn’t say or imply C-unit was afraid of him. So it hits me this morning.

This is some alpha bullshit.

C-uint is trying to lock horns in a alpha match for dominance with KB on YouTube.

It sounds stupid as hell but did I mention C-uint has been having a silent comedy biff for years with another dude named Ceno that happens to be associated with KB?

This shit is way more interesting to me then the goings of whether Joe Biden is alive or really the Crept Keeper and Chief.

That time I wanted to be a Professional YouTuber and realized that it was a bullshit passing thought

You ever had a thought money related only to realize it was just a passing brain fart.

Brain Fart: I passing stupid thought not all reasonable or productive.

I only had the thought for a few months before I realized I hate making videos for money and I much prefer written form and podcasts a close second to my urges at creating.

I could produce a video once I had subject but most of the time it would be bullshiting and the costs of improvement never paid off. My heart could never be in it.

I am a writer and a bard. I much prefer reading blog posts, articles and books in general when I have the time. The writen word is my natural arena.

Second in pair is spoken word or as I like to think of it, a Bard’s voice. To this day that is where my heart has stored up memories of the time when I was moved to emotion and purpose by the command and enchantment of a Bard’s voice on stage.

The practice and vocation is as old as men breathing words and gathering around their clan and tribesmen to speak the stories of old and the morals of timeless virtues.

Okay let’s face it YouTube is an old fuck dying on the shitter. (Comedy)

Hold on!

Don’t shoot the messenger. I’m an old fuck myself but YouTube holy holy

Holy fucking shit is that bitch looking like an old whore on her last dick to sit on.

First of all. The mother fucking commercials, my dude. You will say well you could get YouTube Red my dude. No commercials.

Ah my dude. I watch my favorite channels on Bitchute and every other place on the internet. No commercials.  No bullshit boner pill commercials or adds asking me if I know about squarespace.

Fucking bullshit. That’s the problem. I can’t watch a video without the “content creator” telling me about an algorithm or YouTube pulling down channels that don’t kiss the pimp ring of Pimp Cocain Mac Daddy DNC.

The fucking bullshit ride never ends. Shilling is the past time of the modern day YouTube propaganda entertainment machine. My information and attention is the cash I pay with.

I don’t give a damn. Mother fucker entertain me at least. I thought this was the agreement between YouTube and me.

Fucking hell. Propaganda used to be about hiding the shit by being entertaining enough.

Yes. Yes. I am ranting. Hold my beer a second.

Damn it to hell and back. YouTube is old on it’s death legs my dude. It’s a damn fucking shame. I used to rock with it hard but now fuck me running I’m getting fucking bored of the site.

[Cobra Kai not with standing. Great show I don’t give two shits about and I watched every Karate Kid movie. I earned my nerd points.]

Let me summarize this shit.

1) commercials

2) Shilling on videos

3) dumbass suck at propaganda.

4) I’m older then YouTube and even have moments when I want to take the old girl out to the back of the barn and put her down with a shot gun.

Pause.

Does any of this sound like the ridiculous ramblings of an old ass fuck. Well it’s intentional. I’m just fucking with you.

Come on my dude. Come on my guy. I knew you weren’t fooled but I damn sure got some dumbass half way through this post angry about my  “hate posting” about YouTube. Get the fuck out of here.

Hot damn! I’m good. Give me a like if you found this shit funny. I fucking did.

Warm Regards,
