Workflow: 4-session batch production system for a month of faceless YouTube teardown content (dollar-tally retention structure, 3 Shorts per long-form)

Trigger condition

Steps

1. 1

   Write ALL scripts first in one session. Structure every long-form as: cold-open with dollar-stakes hook + open loop (0-15s), one-line credibility + roadmap, 5-7 numbered findings escalating in dollar value with an on-screen running tally, a re-hook at ~40% duration, single CTA to ONE lead magnet (never stack asks).

2. 2

   Pre-map 3 Shorts per long-form at script stage — pick the 3 highest-tension segments and write NEW standalone hooks for each (never post raw clips). 4 long-forms yields 16 total uploads for the month.

3. 3

   Record all voiceovers back-to-back in one session (voice consistency, warmed up by take 2), then capture all screen recordings silently in a separate session, then sync VO to visuals in Descript. Never narrate screen captures live — flubbed takes multiply editing time.

4. 4

   For teardowns of real businesses: anonymize or use composites ('details changed'), name real businesses only for praise. This removes legal risk while keeping specificity.

5. 5

   Assemble, cut Shorts from the pre-mapped segments, schedule all 16 uploads in YouTube Studio. Reserve days 29-30 to review CTR/retention and let the data pick Month 2 topics.
