Overview:
We are 100C, a US-based YouTube agency specializing in creating and growing profitable YouTube channels for companies. We handle strategy, scripting, video editing, branding, graphic design, and posting for our clients. As a result, all of our clients have a top-ranked channel in their respective niches. Currently, we are looking to hire an ADVANCED, full-time scriptwriter to write “talking head” education content about health-related topics for one of our clients, who is a doctor. This will include short-form AND long-form scriptwriting, so you need to have experience with both.
Please only apply for this position if you:
- Are a fluent English speaker
- Have written at least 50 YouTube “talking head” education scripts
- Understand advanced YouTube scripting strategy
- Are available full-time (at least 40 hours per week)
- Are willing to work on weekends if necessary
- Are available to start right away
About the role:
Script quality is perhaps the most valuable thing we deliver for our clients, so we’re looking for a YouTube scriptwriter with the experience to match our standards and results. We will train you to write scripts the way we do, but we expect you to have a solid foundation of experience and skill to minimize the learning curve.
Below is everything you need to know about the job:
- This is the equivalent of a full-time, remote position that will involve 3 long-form scripts per week (between 1,500 – 3,500 words), 20 short-form scripts per week (between 135-270 words), or a reasonable combination of the two.
- It is a contractor position (NOT an employee) which means we don’t offer things like paid leave or healthcare.
- There are no set hours, meaning you’re free to work whenever best suits you. As long as you complete your work on time without compromising quality, we don’t care if it takes you 5 days or 5 hours.
- For long-form content, we will pick the topics for you, it will be your job to do the research and write the scripts. For short-form content, you will pick the topics in addition to researching and writing the scripts.
- Each script needs to be fact checked, we will not accept AI slop with misleading statements.
- You will be expected to follow YouTube best practices to structure your scripts in a way that maximizes viewer retention (strong hooks, open loops, setups and payoffs, effective end screens, etc).
- You will be expected to make unlimited revisions if necessary. If a script isn’t good, we’re not going to accept it. If we have to give you more than 3-5 rounds of feedback then we’ll probably just shake hands and part ways.
- The final version of each long-form script should be the absolute best script for that topic on YouTube (we have high standards for quality).
Compensation:
We are offering baseline starting pay of $3,500-$5,000USD per month (depending on your level of experience). Once you demonstrate that you can complete each script without a lot of feedback, we will increase your base pay by $500USD per month. The position also comes with the potential to earn a performance bonus up to $10,000/mo on top of your baseline salary, depending on how well your work helps us achieve our business goals.
We will also pay for you to have access to Perplexity Pro ($20/mo) and ChatGPT Pro ($200/mo) for research and writing.
Note that we expect you to use AI to help write your scripts. If you’re fundamentally opposed to AI then this position isn’t for you. Also, if you think you can just dump a bunch of research into a chatbot and hand off the AI slop it generates, this position isn’t for you. AI is helpful, but it’s not intelligent enough to write full scripts.
