YouTube Channel Strategist & Creative Director (Long-Term Partnership) I’m looking for an experienced YouTube strategist to help build a long-term growth strategy for an established podcast and educational brand. This is not a video editing position. I’m looking for someone who can look at the entire picture and answer questions like: * How should the show be filmed? * What camera angles and shots create the most engaging viewing experience? * What editing style fits this audience? * How should music be incorporated? * What visual elements should become part of the brand? * How should full-length episodes differ from Shorts? * What should our thumbnail strategy be? * What makes someone click? * What makes someone stay? * What makes someone subscribe? * How do we build a recognizable YouTube brand instead of simply uploading videos? About the Project I host an established legal podcast featuring attorneys, judges, court reporters, entrepreneurs, and other professionals. We already produce long-form episodes and have an audio editing workflow in place. I’m looking for someone who can help transform the YouTube channel into a destination that consistently attracts new viewers and grows an engaged audience. What I’d Like Your Help With * Audit my existing YouTube channel and content. * Review my current filming style, music, branding, and editing. * Develop a cohesive YouTube growth strategy. * Recommend improvements to production quality and visual storytelling. * Create a repeatable filming workflow. * Advise on pacing, hooks, retention, and watch time. * Develop thumbnail and title strategies. * Recommend a content mix for long-form videos, Shorts, clips, and promotional content. * Help build systems that make production more efficient without sacrificing quality. * Identify opportunities to increase discoverability and audience growth. Ideal Experience I’m looking for someone with experience growing YouTube channels—not simply editing videos. Experience with any of the following is a plus: * YouTube strategy * Audience growth * Creative direction * Visual storytelling * Content marketing * Branding * Podcast production * YouTube analytics * Thumbnail strategy * Retention optimization To Apply Please include: 1. Channels you’ve helped grow (please include metrics if possible). 2. Before-and-after examples of channels you’ve improved. 3. Your philosophy on growing a YouTube channel organically. 4. If you audited my channel, what are the first three things you’d evaluate? 5. Why do some podcast channels consistently grow while others plateau? 6. Anything else you’d want to know before creating a strategy. I’m looking for a strategic partner who enjoys thinking creatively, experimenting, and building something exceptional over the long term.

I run an email marketing company and we're trying to grow our video content — for the business and for a product we just built. I'm on camera comfortably, and so is one other person on my team. What we don't have is the time to run everything around that. I need someone to take it over so it actually keeps going. The biggest thing for me is ideas. I don't want to start from a blank page every week. Someone who can bring me hooks and prompts to record is worth a lot more to me than someone who only edits what I send. We'll throw in our own topics when something comes up, but I don't want to be the one generating all of it. What you'd own: Ideas and prompts for us to record (mostly talking-head short-form) Editing the footage One longer YouTube video a month Posting across our channels Repurposing what we record When I look at applicants, the main thing I want to see is channels you've grown — a person's channel, someone whose face is the brand, not a company page. If that's you, send me what you've grown and how.
