Short-Form Video Creator
About the Role
We're looking for a creative, social-media-savvy college student or recent grad to help produce high-energy, scroll-stopping short-form videos for social media ads and other organic content. You'll shoot, edit, and sometimes appear in fun, native-feeling videos (15-30 seconds) that promote products/services in an authentic, entertaining way. This is a remote, flexible gig — perfect if you're already making Reels/TikToks for fun!
Key Responsibilities
- Brainstorm and create 5–15 short-form videos per week
- Film vertical videos using your smartphone in good lighting
- Edit fast-paced clips with trending audio, text overlays, quick cuts, transitions, and effects using free/accessible tools like CapCut, InShot, or VN
- Deliver native, UGC-style content that feels real and engaging (not overly polished ads)
- Stay on top of TikTok/Reels trends, sounds, and formats to keep content fresh
- Occasionally appear on camera (high-energy, relatable vibe — optional if you're more behind-the-scenes)
- Turn around quick revisions and deliver files on time via Google Drive/Dropbox
Requirements
- Current college student or recent grad (any major — Marketing, Communications, Film, Business, or just passionate about social media works!)
- Active on TikTok, Instagram Reels, and/or YouTube Shorts (bonus if you have your own account with some content)
- Basic video editing skills (or willing to learn CapCut super fast — it's free and beginner-friendly!)
- Creative eye for hooks, trends, and what makes people stop scrolling
- Reliable, self-motivated, and can hit deadlines
Nice-to-Haves (Not Required)
- Experience with trends, duets, stitches, or viral formats
- Portfolio of personal Reels/TikToks (even just 3-5 is great)
- Familiarity with social media ad best practices (hooks in 3 seconds, captions, CTAs)
Compensation & Perks
- Competitive freelance rate: $20–$50 per video
- Flexible hours — work around classes/exams (evenings/weekends fine)
- Build a real portfolio of paid social media ad content
- Potential for ongoing work and rate increases. Possible full-time employment depending on success
