Have you started a TikTok, YouTube or other type of content channel, but now you’re stymied at how long it takes to actually create one video and upload it? Stop writing from scratch or trying to pull video content out of thin air. Today we’re covering how to create video scripts using PLR articles.
What are PLR articles?
PLR stands for “private label rights.” If you use stock images to create video slide shows, this works in much the same way. Just like the images, with PLR articles you’re purchasing the rights to use that content in your creations — edit, change, add to it, and brand it any way you like.
How do PLR Articles Speed Up Content Creation?
PLR articles are pre-researched and pre-written for your publishing convenience. Instead of having to read up on a topic every time you make content, you have the details right there in front of you.
When you order PLR articles, you’ll typically receive a series of articles that cover different aspects of one topic. For example, if you wanted to make a video on How to Restructure Your Coaching Business into a Flat-Fee Membership, you might find a series of articles already developed that cover this in detail.
Once you find an article pack that covers a relevant topic for your audience, you can just pop open the document and grab tips from the prewritten set of articles.
- One article may contain 5 or 7 points that easily translate into a step-by-step video.
- Five articles can become an overview video that introduces the main ideas of a course that you’re running — all fitting neatly into one, 5-slide video.
- You can also grab random tips from a set of PLR articles to make a “listicles” type of presentation, but it’s in video format.
Step by Step: How to Create Video Scripts Using PLR Articles
Let’s do a quick overview of how to create video scripts using PLR articles, then we’ll dig into the details.
- Step 1: Define your audience and niche.
- Step 2: Gather content.
- Step 3: Plan and outline your video.
- Step 4: Copy and paste.
- Step 5: Add images.
- Step 6. Enhance with AI (optional)
- Step 7: Edit and tweak.
Define your audience and niche.
If you’re just starting out with a YouTube or TikTok channel, you may flip-flop on the type of content that you’d like to post. Do you want to share recipes? Make-up tips? DIY projects? Decide early on what niche your channel will focus on. Your followers are more likely to stay if you hone in on one niche, rather than jumping around.
Gather content for your video.
If this is your first time publishing a video, then keep the project small and just gather up some good written and visual content to make one video.
For one video, just grab a set of PLR articles that cover the topic of the video. So if your video will be about how to host a garage sale, find PLR covering that topic and download it, along with images.
Make a quick plan of your video script and storyboard.
Your video can either be a “talky,” spoken freely by you or a voice over… or, you can set it up in a more organized presentation, typical of PowerPoint. For this you’d create a storyboard, and slides. Your storyboard takes the viewer through a visual and spoken presentation.
Copy and paste content from the PLR articles to your video.
Set yourself up for success. Open the document of PLR articles (typically, it will be in Google Docs, but it could also be in MS Word or a text document. Launch the video editing program and start a new video. Pull some relevant points from the article and paste or paraphrase them into the video.
Add images (or mini video clips) to your video.
If you use one of the common video editing programs like CapCut or YouCut, or if you make videos directly in TikTok, you’ll have the ability to pull in existing images and videos as part of your presentation. Add one image or video clip per slide that contains text.
NOTE: Some AI video generators may already have this option automated. To use these, plan and outline your video content, gather images appropriate, and then follow prompts for whatever AI tool you use, and see where it takes you.
Edit and tweak your video content.
You’re definitely going to want to press play several times so you can experience your video presentation through the eyes and ears of your viewers. Pay attention to little details.
Are the text and images syncing up? Is the audio crisp and clear? How do the images look, is it easy to see them? Do you need to use a filter to brighten the display? Is the slide duration long enough for the viewer to read and absorb the message before moving on to the next slide?
Let’s cover a more broad approach to content gathering for multiple videos
Maybe you’re already a video creation pro and now you want to speed things up. Build your content library so you’ll have topics to pull from. PLR articles make an ideal source of ready-to-go content.
- If you’re starting a cooking channel, collect recipe content including written recipes and images.
- If you post content marketing tips, build a library of how-to articles on everything from blogging to image editing to tutorials on how to use trending tools and platforms.
- If yours is a petcare channel, collect articles and images of dogs, cats, furry friends, reptiles, and sort your content by food, daily care, health and more.
- If you’re launching a mental wellness channel, grow your catalog of articles and images that speak to positivity, gratitude, self development, relationships, etc.
