Compensation & Career Path:

If hired, you'll start part-time for the first month (can be negotiable). Successful candidates will then transition to full-time. Salary is paid bi-weekly and will be based on your experience and skill level.

The growth potential in this role is substantial. As you naturally develop expertise in what ads perform best for our brand, at that point, you'll have the opportunity to lead a team of editors (if desired). From there, if you are able to instruct editors on how to create good ads, you will have an even better understanding of what kinds of ads perform the best. Then you can advance to a creative strategist position where you'll begin to earn a percentage of profits. Once you've mastered creative strategy for one brand, you can handle our other brands, earning a percentage of profit for each brand you are in charge of.

We build long-term e-commerce brands with year-over-year growth, not typical dropshipping stores. Within the past two years, we've had four notable hires here on OnlineJobs—three have become creative strategists managing advertising across our brands, with the lowest earner making $250,000 USD a year. Our longest-tenured editor is now developing their own e-commerce brand with our support, as I am writing this.

If you have the experience and skills described above, please apply! Message me with the subject line "JP1 EDITOR" and give me a brief summary about you and your experience editing video ads. DO NOT SEND AN EMAIL.

Here are just a few examples of ads I am expecting you to be able to recreate.
