I am looking for some advice on how to improve a short script that I have for an advertisement/introduction video.

I have been revising this for two months now. I have below two different versions. All help is appreciated.

Thanks!

**Version #1:**

> Welcome to PrizeTV, the easiest way to earn rewards online at the click of a button. Watch videos, earn points, and chat with friends all at once. All of our videos are short, entertaining, and are welcome to your comments. For each video watched, you earn a point. It’s that simple! Don’t feel like watching videos at the moment? Hit up our link sharing section instead. That’s right! You also get rewarded for sending links to your friends. Once you earn enough points, you can redeem them for various prizes in our store. No waiting, our online store is always open. But that’s not all; you can chance your points in our weekly lottery to possibly win that week’s grand prize. Each point counts as an entry, so the more points chanced the greater your odds of winning. Don’t forget to check out the community section of our site where you can chat with friends and have open discussions on the forums. Thank you for watching and please enjoy everything PrizeTV has to offer.

**Version #2:**

> Welcome to PrizeTV, the easiest way to earn rewards online at the click of a button. Watch videos, earn points, and chat with friends all at once. All of our videos are short and entertaining. For each video watched, you earn a point. It’s that simple! Don’t feel like watching videos at the moment? You can check out the community section of our site where you can chat with friends, chance your points in our lottery to win a grand prize, and much much more! Once you earn enough points, you can redeem them for various prizes. No waiting, our online store is always open. Be sure to check out the number one place to earn rewards: PrizeTV!

Questions:

1. Do I cover too many features of the site?
2. Is the wording on a good enough level for people to understand?
3. Is the longer version #1 more effective or less effective than version #2?
4. Are there some points where it does not flow? (Please just indicate the sentence numbers where it does not flow so that I know what to work on.)

After following the advice given in the answers this is what I now have:

**Version #3:**

> Welcome to PrizeTV, the easiest way to earn rewards at the click of a button. Watch videos, earn points, and chat with friends all at once. All our videos are short, entertaining, and open to your comments. For each video watched, you earn a point. It’s that simple! Don’t feel like watching videos at the moment? Visit our link sharing section instead. That’s right! You also get rewarded for sending links to your friends. Once you earn enough points, you can redeem them for various prizes in our store. No waiting; our online store is always open. But that’s not all; you can exchange your points for entries in our weekly lottery for a chance to win that week’s grand prize. Each point counts as an entry, the more points you bet the greater your odds of winning. Be sure to check out the number one place to earn rewards: PrizeTV!

I removed this sentence (was right before the last sentence): "Don’t forget to check out the community section of our site where you can chat with friends and have open discussions on the forums." because it does not talk about rewards and distracts from the various ways of earning points. Do you guys agree/disagree with this removal?

Should I also remove "chat with friends all at once" in the second sentence and replace it with something else?

Original score: 2
