Gathering different ideas to come up with the perfect one is what you called
brainstorming. Sit down with your team and share your ideas about the product. Think
of ways you can convince the customer that this product is a "need" and a "must have".
You can cite the benefits, solutions or even a miracle for them to buy the product. Get
every idea that falls under the main goal and jot it down.
Step 2: Make an Outline

save time and facilitates in writing faster. In infomercial the outline is more likely a
storyboard, a form of illustration that sequence the entire script or it pre-visualizes the
whole scene. This includes what will happen in the script, where will you highlight the
product and etc.
Step 3: Write the first draft

start writing with your first draft. Don't rush, let yourself explore the ideas and start
writing, the words will come out easily with focus and perseverance. Aim to get the
whole composition out of your head and write it all in the paper. Once done with the first
draft, leave it. Don't change anything. Fixing, modifying and improving will be done in
the next step.
Step 4: Finalize the script content
Following the first draft, re-read it and make some revisions with the sentence structure,
grammar, and spelling errors. Check the content, organization, style and format. You
may let your other team member read it and make comments, if the infomercial script
achieved its purpose. At this point, your infomercial script is should be precisely
polished.

This means that the script written comes alive, being acted or dramatized and timed. To
insure that the script written is accurately timed, plus the audio and video are
synchronized.
