YouTube Strategist & Scriptwriter (Business Niche, USD 2-5k/month)

Impact Clients is hiring a YouTube strategist and scriptwriter to write the videos Richard reads on camera. You will start at four scripts a week across two channels, for an audience that is already there. This is a creative role with a research backbone: you bring the idea, you defend it, and 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 and documents the journey as he goes. The brand is impact-driven and scaling fast.

What you will do

The work splits roughly 50% ideation, 30% scripting, and 20% QC.

• Ideation. Generate a lot of concepts to find the few that are great: angles, titles, formats. Then filter hard. There is a proven process and you will be taught it. What cannot be taught is the instinct underneath it: knowing why a video worked, feeling when a format is fatiguing, spotting an outlier on someone else's channel and understanding what is actually transferable.
• Scripting. Four a week. Three for the main business channel, one for the AI-avatar channel. The method is systematic: study what is already working, extract the psychological framework doing the heavy lifting, and retrofit it to this audience and offers. It has been refined across dozens of videos. You will learn it, then run it.
• QC. Take the first two passes on each edit. Did the hook land, did the pacing hold, did the retention structure survive? Timestamped notes to the editors. The final pass stays with the Head of YouTube. Long-form for now; short-form QC will likely fold in as that output scales.

You will work directly with the Head of YouTube, the editing team, and the thumbnail designer, with a weekly 1:1 to pressure-test your reads.

What they are looking for

• You have written long-form YouTube scripts that performed, and you can explain why they performed. Send the links and the numbers.
• You can take 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.
• 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.
• You can overlap at least 4 hours a day with US Eastern business hours, wherever you are based.

Bonus

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

Not for you if

• 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 will be writing the briefs.

Pay and hours

$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 where a strong performer lands. Open to higher tiers for exceptional writers, and they promote internally. Remote, from anywhere, as long as the overlap works.

What you would be measured on

Median views per video, how many outliers are produced per quarter, and retention. Not hours logged. Performance pay is tied to the same numbers.

Why join

• A brand with momentum. The channel works, the team exists, and your job is to make it bigger.
• Real creative ownership. Your ideas get made. You will have autonomy to experiment and to be wrong in public occasionally.
• You will be taught a system by someone who already used it to build this channel.
• 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.

Process

1. Application
2. Zoom with the Head of YouTube
3. Paid script test, from your own ideation
4. Zoom with the Head of Marketing
5. Offer

They pay for test work because they are asking for real output, and because they want to see how you work rather than how you interview.
