JOB OVERVIEW

We produce news-driven, voice-over scripts in the entertainment commentary space. You will turn public reporting into clear, engaging, original YouTube scripts and package them for upload.

What You’ll Do

Topic sourcing: Proactively find topics via Google Trends, top outlets, X/Reddit, and competitor scans; submit 2–3 candidate headlines per assignment or 1 urgent pitch for breaking stories.

Angle & outline: 150–200-word angle + 6-point outline.

Scriptwriting: 3,000–4,000 words in clear, calm English with precise attribution (who/where/when), labeled disputes, and simple chronology.

Packaging & SEO:

Title (?68 chars, front-loaded keywords)

VD (Video Description): 2–3 sentences; first 140–150 chars keyword-rich

10–15 keywords/tags + 1–2 suggested chapters

2–3 thumbnail text options (2–4 words each)

Evidence Pack (required): Source Log (links + published/access dates + 1-line “why”), pull-quotes with timestamps/page refs, screenshots of cited passages, short “Where Accounts Differ” note, and a simple timeline table.

Trend & Breaking Coverage

Monitor trends daily and flag fit topics.

Standards

Human-researched, human-written. Limited, disclosed tool use for grammar/readability only—no AI-generated paragraphs or facts.

Neutral, non-defamatory language; sensitive items framed as claims/allegations with denials and dates.

No plagiarism or fabrications; accurate sourcing and simple, chronological storytelling.

How to Apply
Send 2 relevant samples, a short note on your sourcing process, and a sample Title + VD + 10 tags for any recent entertainment headline, plus your rate and usual turnaround.
