Short-Form Video Scriptwriter
Worldwide
We're a creator-economy startup building ViewStage, a marketplace where brands fund video campaigns and creators get matched, submit, and get paid. The platform takes a flat 10%. Our cofounder is going on camera to grow the brand, and we need someone to write the scripts. The work: 20 scripts per month for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts. Talking-head format, 30-60 seconds each. You write the hook, the body, the on-screen text, and basic b-roll direction. We send a batch of 5 ideas with content pillars every Monday; you turn them into scripts by Thursday. Rate: $1,000/month, including two revision rounds per script. You're a fit if you: - Write short-form for a living and can show me scripts that performed - Can research outlier videos within the niche and add a twist to them - Understand that the first 3 seconds are 90% of the job - Have written for a founder or expert speaking as themselves on camera, which is a different job - than writing for UGC actors Watch enough TikTok, Reels, and Shorts to know what's working this month Bonus if you've been on the other side of a brand deal To apply, send: Two scripts you've written, with the view counts they got Five hooks for this concept: our cofounder ran a Minecraft YouTube channel and lost a big chunk of their sponsorship income to agency cuts they never saw itemized. ViewStage puts the campaign budget right on the brief and takes a flat cut. You're writing for creators who've had the same thing happen to them.
