Short-Form Scriptwriter (1-Week Paid Trial | Hooks-First, Problem-Led) - Contract to Hire

Job Description I’m looking for a short-form scriptwriter for a 1-week paid trial focused on hooks-first, problem-led scripts for TikTok / Reels / Shorts. This is not generic content writing. This role is about emotional interruption, clarity, and psychology in the first 3 seconds. Trial Scope (1 Week) You’ll be given 2 core problems to work from: Problem 1: Silent exit (creators losing traction without realizing why) Problem 2: Identity-based tension (how creators see themselves vs. how the market sees them) From those problems, you will deliver: 6 total short-form scripts Each script must include: 2–3 distinct hook options (first 3 seconds) 1 main script (20–25 seconds total length) Workflow & Feedback Day 1–2: You submit hooks only for early feedback and direction. Day 3–5: You finalize full scripts using approved hook direction. This structure is intentional — hooks matter more than polish. What I’m Looking For Strong instinct for pattern interruption Ability to write hooks that stop scrolling without clickbait Comfort with problem-solution framing Understanding of creator psychology and identity tension Clear, concise writing (no fluff) What This Is NOT Not SEO writing Not blog or long-form content Not social media management Not video editing Compensation $200 fixed price 1-week paid trial One milestone If this trial is a strong fit, there is potential for ongoing weekly work. To Apply Please share: 1–2 short-form scripts or hooks you’ve written Or a brief explanation of how you approach writing the first 3 seconds of a video Important Note Clarity and thinking matter more than volume. If you don’t enjoy working hook-first, this will not be a fit. Apply tot his job
