Youtube Scriptwriter For Growing Brand. Lifestyle/Education/Edutainment – $48,000-$60,000 Per Year

We’re seeking an exceptional YouTube Script Writer to craft compelling, story-driven scripts for our entrepreneurship and personal development channel. The ideal candidate will transform our raw experiences—from food stamps to financial freedom, failed businesses to coaching 2,500+ students—into binge-worthy content that educates, inspires, and retains viewers.

Who You Are:

• A master storyteller who can weave personal narratives with actionable business lessons
• Someone who understands that YouTube success requires both emotional hooks AND educational value
• A student of viral content who recognizes patterns in top-performing videos
• Detail-oriented enough to include specific numbers and examples that build credibility
• Culturally aware and able to authentically incorporate diverse perspectives into scripts

Your Mission: Transform our business journey and life experiences into YouTube scripts that:

• Hook viewers in the first 15 seconds with contrarian statements or transformative promises
• Maintain retention through strategic pattern interrupts every 30-45 seconds
• Balance vulnerability with authority (sharing failures AND successes)
• Include specific details that create believability ($5K first month, 2,500 students, etc.)
• Drive meaningful action while building deep audience connection

Key Responsibilities:

• Write 2-4 long-form scripts per week (10-20 minutes each) following proven YouTube retention frameworks
• Research trending topics in entrepreneurship, real estate, and personal development
• Develop multiple hook options and thumbnails concepts for each script
• Structure content using storytelling frameworks (hero’s journey, transformation arcs)
• Include natural edit points and visual cues for our editing team
• Incorporate “permission-giving” language that empowers viewers to take action
• Create clear CTAs that feel natural, not salesy
• Track script performance metrics and iterate based on data

Must-Have Skills:

• Proven experience writing for YouTube (please share channels you’ve written for)
• Understanding of YouTube retention strategies (pattern interrupts, open loops, strategic callbacks)
• Ability to write conversationally—for the ear, not the eye
• Excellence at weaving multiple story threads throughout a script
• Strong research skills to incorporate trending topics and SEO optimization
• Cultural sensitivity and ability to authentically represent diverse experiences

You’ll Thrive If You:

• Get excited about turning struggle into inspiration
• Understand that specificity creates believability (exact ages, amounts, timeframes)
• Can balance teaching with entertainment (“edutainment”)
• Know when to use short, punchy sentences vs. longer explanations
• Recognize that confidence comes from evidence, not empty motivation
• Believe in our mission to help others achieve financial freedom through practical education

What Success Looks Like:

• Scripts that consistently achieve 50%+ retention at the 30-second mark
• Content that generates comments like “This is exactly what I needed to hear”
• Stories that make viewers feel seen, understood, and capable of change
• Videos that naturally lead to community growth and course enrollment
• A recognizable “voice” that viewers seek out week after week

Bonus Points If You:

• Have experience in entrepreneurship or real estate
• Understand the unique perspective of underrepresented founders
• Can write from both masculine and feminine perspectives (for both channel hosts)
• Have a background in copywriting or direct response marketing
• Know how to structure content for different video types (story-driven, educational, case studies)

This role is perfect for someone who believes that great stories change lives and that YouTube is the most powerful platform for reaching millions with transformative content. If you can turn our journey from Section 8 housing to successful entrepreneurship into scripts that make viewers believe “if they can do it, so can I”—we need to talk.
