Ongoing Scriptwriter & Researcher For Tech Brand | SimplyCodes – $50-$80 Per Hour
SimplyCodes is a fast-growing shopping savings platform trusted by millions. We help people save money at checkout with verified codes and smart shopping tips.
We’re expanding our YouTube presence to bring savings, style, and smarter shopping to life through engaging video storytelling. Our goal: create content that people don’t just watch, but actually use to save money and shop with confidence.
The Role
We’re looking for a YouTube Scriptwriter & Researcher who can dig deep into shopping and lifestyle topics, uncover fresh insights, and turn them into scripts that hook audiences from the first second.
You’ll combine research, storytelling, and creative writing to craft videos that solve real problems—whether it’s how to save money online, how to build a capsule wardrobe on a budget, or how to hack seasonal sales.
What You’ll Do
- Research shopping, savings, and lifestyle trends across forums, social media, and competitor channels.
- Write clear, engaging YouTube scripts with strong hooks and natural pacing.
- Turn complex information into easy-to-follow, entertaining stories.
- Collaborate with producers and editors to align scripts with video style and channel goals.
- Stay on top of YouTube best practices for audience retention, titles, and descriptions.
What Success Looks Like
- Scripts that keep viewers engaged well past the intro.
- Videos that rank in YouTube search for popular queries like “how to save money shopping online.”
- Content that sparks real viewer reactions: “This was actually useful,” “Finally, someone explained this clearly.”
Who You Are
- A strong storyteller who can write with clarity, energy, and personality.
- Skilled at online research—you know how to find insights beyond the first page of Google.
- Familiar with YouTube content formats, pacing, and audience psychology.
- Comfortable writing in a voice that’s approachable, helpful, and human.
- Bonus: you’re personally interested in shopping smarter, fashion, or budgeting.
Requirements
- Proven experience writing YouTube scripts, blog posts, or digital storytelling content.
- Strong research and synthesis skills (journalism or content writing background a plus).
- Portfolio or samples of past work (scripts or long-form content).
- Availability to deliver 2–4 scripts per week.
- Important Note: At Demand.io, we are a human-first, AI-driven company. All team members, YouTube Scriptwriter included, will need to be trained up on our AI-driven research and drafting process. This won’t be a replacement to your current writing process, but instead a commitment to — over time — enhancing and streamlining our systems for creating content.
Why Join Us
- Your scripts will be produced into videos that reach a large and growing audience.
- Flexible, remote-first role—you can work from anywhere.
- Simple, outcome-driven process: we care about great scripts and great ideas, not busywork.
- Opportunity to grow with the channel and take on more recurring projects.
To Apply:
Send your portfolio, a short note on your research process, and 1–2 writing samples (preferably YouTube scripts) in your application.
