Script Writer for Commentary-Style YouTube Shorts (Boltmotivation Style)
Worldwide
I run a faceless YouTube Shorts channel in the commentary/"motivation" niche — narrated scripts over reaction and found-footage clips, similar to channels like Boltmotivation and Peakzmotivation. I'm looking for a script writer who already understands this format and can turn clips into addictive Shorts that hook viewers in the first 2 seconds and hold them to the last word. This is an ongoing, daily role — one script per day, every day. What you'll do Write one short commentary script per day, narrated over a clip I provide Match each script to a 30–60 second video (word count varies per clip — you write to fit the footage, not a fixed length) Open with a scroll-stopping hook in the first 1–2 seconds Build escalation and curiosity gaps throughout ("but it gets even worse," "worst of all," etc.) to maximize retention Tell a tight micro-story around the clip and land a strong payoff or twist at the end Write in short, spoken-word lines (one idea per line) and mark the words that should be emphasized What a great script looks like in this style Hook first, context later — the wildest detail goes up front Conversational and slightly sensational, never stiff or formal Every line earns the next one; no filler A satisfying closer that rewards people for staying You should have Proven experience writing for YouTube Shorts / TikTok, ideally in the commentary or reaction style A strong feel for hooks, pacing, and retention Native or fluent English Reliability — this is daily work with a firm deadline, so consistency matters Logistics Volume: 1 script per day, 7 days a week Turnaround: each script delivered within 24 hours of me sending the clip Length: written to fit a 30–60 second video (varies per clip) I'll provide the clips (or topics); you provide the script Rate: please share your per-script rate (and any discount for the ongoing daily volume)
