Part-Time Direct Response Copywriter AI
Worldwide
The Role We're looking for a direct-response copywriter who uses AI to work like two people, not one. This is not a "prompt ChatGPT and paste" role — it's a strategist who uses AI to compress drafting time so more hours go into research, testing, and judgment calls that AI can't make. What You'll Do Write and iterate copy across the entire funnel: ad copy/hooks, landing pages, upsell/downsell/OTO pages, email sequences, and SMS/WhatsApp touchpoints where relevant Use AI research tools to speed up market/customer research — mining reviews, forums, competitor copy, and objections — rather than relying on slow manual digging Diagnose market awareness and sophistication level for each offer before writing a word, and keep messaging consistent from first ad click through to post-purchase follow-up Use AI tools (Claude/ChatGPT) to produce first drafts, variant angles, and rapid A/B copy tests — then edit hard against real frameworks (Schwartz, Halbert, Ogilvy, etc.) Build and document reusable frameworks, prompt libraries, and templates (research process, funnel structure, offer diagnostics) that can be applied across multiple clients — not one-off work that has to be reinvented each time Review performance data at each funnel stage and revise copy based on actual conversion numbers, not guesses What You Won't Do Ghost-write directly from an AI tool with no edit pass Work without seeing performance data — copy decisions here are data-informed, not vibes-informed Must-Haves Portfolio with real, verifiable conversion results (not just "worked with 10 clients") Fluent with AI tools for both research and drafting — can show your workflow, not just claim it Track record of systematizing work into reusable templates/frameworks, ideally across multiple clients or offers Strong grasp of at least 2–3 direct-response frameworks and can explain why a piece of copy works Comfortable working async, part-time, deadline-driven Nice-to-Haves Experience writing full funnels end-to-end (ad → landing → upsell/downsell → email/SMS follow-up), not just isolated pages Basic familiarity with a page builder (ClickFunnels, Unbounce, etc.) and email/SMS platforms (Klaviyo, ActiveCampaign, etc.)
