The only part of a recording that people hear multiple times is the introduction. The part of the introduction that most people skip is the writer’s burden. It needs to be effective when people first view it, but not become grating to the point that they skip the introduction when they view it many times thereafter.
This usually indicates that it’s shorter than what you’re thinking, and it adds something important to this episode unlike something general that is applied to the channel. Anything that would work as openers to any of your videos is too general.
Spoken intro videos have a hard time making the cut because they are too long. While you’re positioning yourself on the channel, you’re positional skipping. After you’re accustomed to skipping, you’ll skip good videos too. Openers that do make the cut lead with what this video has, then include branding info.
The model blasts out predictable opening intros. Pages of intros are the same shape. Audiences have learned the shape and skipped it. Generic channel name, value proposition, subject of the video all follow the order.
We analyze where the viewers currently drop during the first thirty seconds. Once we understand that, we then write against it. Generally, two different versions of the intro are written: a cold open for each episode and a standing intro to the series. We have to do this because the cold opens and standing intros have different functions and merging the two will likely lead to bloated intros.
Using an intro that you recorded only once saves time on all episodes that you publish later on because the show template beats include instructions that tell the editor how much time they should skip. Those same instructional beats function similarly for an audio-only podcast.
One rate, whatever the format: $10 per 100 words. You are paying for the writer’s time and judgement, so the price scales with the words rather than with a package tier.
| Typical video introduction | Words | Writing | Fee (1%) | You pay |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Channel intro (20 sec) | 100 | $10 | $0.10 | $10.10 |
| Episode opener (45 sec) | 160 | $16 | $0.16 | $16.16 |
| Intro set (five episodes) | 500 | $50 | $0.50 | $50.50 |
The writer receives 100% of the writing price. Our 1% fee is added on top of it, and 0.5% is donated to tree planting. Full pricing breakdown.
Anything from 100 words up. Because you pay by the word you are never buying padding to fill a package tier.
Yes — that is exactly what the included revision rounds are for. Read it aloud, mark the lines that fight your mouth, and send it back. Rewriting for delivery is normal on any script and the writer expects it.
Our intros are shorter than most, coming in at 5-8 seconds. For a standing position (no positional movements), that’s the length of the intro. Any additional positioning information belongs in the description. For the additional cost, we will write long intros for you, but we will include a complimentary copy of the short intro so you can see the difference.
Yes, it is worth it to combine the two since they have the same voice. An outro has a different objective, referring to the one next action rather than the three. Order the words the same way and it will cost the same, at $10 per hundred words.

Our audience left before 40 seconds because it was too slow. The section after the two minute mark is very good. A colder open was requested and we delivered and the drop off on the retention graph finally flattened where it use to be a steady decline.
I’m glad I to compared books that I thought flattered me. The writer offered three books that match what I wrote and explained the logic an editor would use when reviewing the list. That section alone made the purchase worthwhile. I am happy to say that two agents asked for the full manuscript.
My voicemails have bordered on the rambly side while my sentences have been fragmented. Your speech has referenced four of my voicemails, and you even quoted them verbatim. Granted, you didn’t even touch the other voicemails and sentences. This blatant disregard is how you should prioritize and frankly is the ratio you should have.
