Overview:
- We are looking for an ideation person with strong research skills to help us produce content in our space.
- NOTE: We are NOT looking for a Blogger. If you are in our field and love to talk about it, and have a million ideas, this is perfect for you! This could also be your side hustle.
- We produce content on our YouTube channel that is focused around our industry. We are also planning to expand and have some cool projects coming up!
Content Style:
Our videos are educational with a how-to style. This means that if we are doing a tutorial on “how to change your xyz”, the script will have a teaching component of WHY we are doing this and WHAT it does. Then, we will cover HOW TO change it, which is a step-by-step demo of what to click and where.
Responsibilities:
- You will need to bring 3 or 4 ideas to each content strategy Zoom call. Don’t worry, we will build up to that as we train you on what to look out for and how to research.
- We will have a Zoom call to discuss the next few videos.
- On that call, we come up with the idea or angle for the video, and a rough title which will be the prompt to begin your research eg: “10 features of xyz” or “The XYZ setting you need to know about.”
- You will then research the topic and write an overview outline of the video and an ordered list of main items to include in the video.
- Your main mission isn’t to write a script. Your mission is to be super-excited about some ideas that we could make videos about.
Requirements:
- Must LOVE our kind of content.
- Must be fluent in English.
Details:
- Hours: Flexible – we don’t do “time sheets” – so as long as it gets done based on the deadlines we set together, we are cool.
- Where: Remote position. But you must be able to do Zoom calls during our working hours.
Application Process:
- Answer the questions below and submit the application. If we see that you could be a great fit, you will receive an email from me and will move onto a ZOOM interview.
- For some interviewees, we will then do a test trial project, for which you are paid.
