However, being short doesn’t mean just putting in some random message and expecting it to work.Here is an example outline to help you break down the words:Opening (8%): A friendly greeting or question. Just imagine what you say to get people’s attention when you see your new friend.Intro (15%): Introduce yourself and your song name.Benefit (50%): Tell your song story. How significant it is to you, etc.Wrap (15%): A quick reminder of why your song is great with the audience.CTA (12%): A clear direction that could encourage your audience to click on your ads.There is no fixed structure that you must follow word by word. This is just a suggestion, and you can freely write your script based on your interests. However, you need to make sure it has a clear structure.Simple languageWithin 30 seconds, your message needs to be simple and straight to the point.
