Technical Tools
OtherScriptwriter

You'll ideate and write the videos Richard reads on camera: starting at four scripts a week across two channels, for an audience that's already there.

This is a creative role with a research backbone. You're not taking briefs and filling them in. You bring the idea, you defend it, you write it.

Richard turned a $500 digital product into an 8-figure online education company. He now teaches other people how to build online businesses, documenting the journey as he goes. The brand is impact-driven, scaling fast, and aiming to become one of the most influential voices in business education.

You'd be writing at least four scripts a week for a channel that already works.

70k+ subscribers in AI and business. A real company behind it: the videos drive revenue, not ad pennies. There's a filming schedule that doesn't slip, a full editing team, a dedicated thumbnail designer, and an ideation and scripting system that took this channel from zero to where it is now.

Responsibilities

~1 min read

You've written long-form YouTube scripts that performed, and you can explain why they performed. Send the links and the numbers.

You can hand us a video from any channel and reverse-engineer it out loud: what the hook is doing, where the open loops sit, why the audience stayed.

You watch YouTube like an operator. You have opinions about packaging. You notice when a channel changes format, and you have a theory about why.

You genuinely like writing. Hooks, structure, the sentence-level work. It's the part you'd do anyway.

You can hit volume without dropping quality, and you take editorial notes without friction.

You write English at a native or near-native level. This is copywriting for a US audience; the voice has to be seamless.

You can overlap at least 4 hours a day with US Eastern business hours, wherever you're based.

Nice to Have

~1 min read
  • Experience writing for AI-avatar or faceless channels
  • Direct-response background: VSLs, emails, ads, webinars
  • Enough editing literacy that your QC (qualuty control) notes speak the editors' language
  • Familiarity with outlier-hunting tools like 1of10 or VidIQ

  • You want to be a generalist content person. This role is narrow and deep on purpose.
  • You want to write essays. This is direct-response writing built to hold attention and move people.
  • You need a finished brief to start. You'll be writing the briefs.

What We Offer

~1 min read

$2,000–$5,000 USD/month OTO, full-time contractor, paid as a monthly base plus a performance component tied to how your videos actually do. Mechanics get walked through on the call.

✓The range is negotiable and depends on what you bring. The top of it is real: it's where a strong performer lands, not a number we put in a posting.
✓Open to higher tiers for exceptional writers, and we promote internally. We've moved people from entry level to C-suite level inside this company.
✓Remote, from anywhere, as long as the overlap works. We care about output, not time zone.
✓A brand with momentum. No "help us figure out YouTube." The channel works, the team exists, and your job is to make it bigger.
✓Real creative ownership. Your ideas get made. You'll have autonomy to experiment and to be wrong in public occasionally.
✓You'll be taught a system by someone who already used it to build this channel, not left to guess.
✓Upside tied to results, not to how many hours you sat in a chair.
✓Room to grow. More scope, more channels, more comp, as the results come in.
