YouTube Shorts Retention Script Fix
Budget: ₹600 – ₹1,500 INR
I run a business case-study channel where every Short lands between 40 seconds and 1:20. My analytics show a sharp 30 % retention drop in the 4–14 second window, even though the rest of the timeline slips only 1–2 % and roughly a third of viewers finish the video. I want to plug that leak.
You’d be working directly with my existing scripts, detailed retention graphs, and full channel analytics. The immediate priority is reshaping the 4–14 second segment and sharpening the opening with a bold-statement hook that grabs attention without click-baiting. I need someone who truly understands short-form storytelling, audience psychology, and the quirks of YouTube Shorts’ algorithm.
What I’d like to receive:
• 2–3 alternative bold-statement hooks per script
• A re-engineered 4–14 second segment that bridges smoothly into the main narrative
• Brief rationale for each change so I can learn and apply the method on future videos
If you’ve lifted retention curves for other Shorts creators—or cracked the “first 15 seconds” problem elsewhere—show me. Let’s turn those early exits into loyal viewers.
