Remoteworldwide is hiring : Content Creator / Influencer in Richmond

If so, then we are the place for you, except you might hate how nice of a company we have - filled with happy, generally competent people that don’t put up with jerks. Frankly, it makes me sick how nice everyone is.

We are remote full time, have very flexible hours, people are judged by their output, not by how much they suck up to the boss, and turnover is super low because the company believes that happy employees = happy customers = happy bank account. Simply disgusting, if you ask me.

Is this a real job ad?

Yup! Amazingly enough, we actually paid money to post this on a bunch of different job sites. And it’s not even a pyramid scheme! Plus, get this : the owner just started paying our 70ish employees with money instead of Pizza Hut coupons - we’re big time, people.

Our careers page is actually worth checking out to learn more about how insane we are (sidenote : it won a web design award in 1993 - we’re a pretty big deal) :

And check out our reviews on Google , Glassdoor , or Indeed to see that it’s not just the founder’s mother who says we’re cool.

What do you guys do?

We do a lot of different things these days including selling awesome consumer products (these are just a small sampling) :

Running this Amazon Pay-Per-Click agency : PPCFarm.com (we’re really, really good at PPC)

And we will soon be launching a SaaS product for inventory management.

We are doing our best to grow rapidly every year, and it’s our intention to continue that for as long as possible, which means we need good people to help us keep up with the growth.

Yes, those are legitimately our values. The careers page is definitely worth checking out - it’s not just normal corporate BS. We promise you’ll learn a lot about us.

OK, so I’ve read like 8 dang pages about you guys. Will you tell me what the actual job is?

No.

Wait... What?

OK fine. Super short version :

Making social media video content for our products, brands, and services with the aim of building an audience who loves our stuff.

Here is a bulleted list of responsibilities :

• Follow social media trends
• Film and edit your videos
• Engage with the audience
• Iterate and get better
• Work with others to give and receive feedback to improve creatively

Like everyone else in the company, you will also need to innovate regularly - which means figuring out ways to improve quality and production speed.

It is challenging, but fun work that’s going to require a lot of time and task management, problem-solving, and a reasonable amount of people skills.

Do I need experience?

We expect you to have a minimum of 70 years of experience (120+ preferred).

Oh, you haven't lived two lifetimes eating and breathing business 24 / 7 / 365? Who TF do you think you are, reading this job description? You absolute buffoon.

Oh, you haven't been directly involved in at least two (preferably three) World Wars? You're not even qualified to operate our coffee machine, you sentient potato.

Oh, you didn't observe the Big Bang as it happened? Get out of here, you pirated copy of Windows 95.

I might literally throw up from your insolence. The hubris to think that you, you absolute fool, could apply to be a content creator - absolutely sickening.

Also, no you don't need any experience, per se. We’ll be evaluating you on your current abilities, and obviously experience can help you there, but your work will stand on its own.

The Big Bang requirement still stands though.

You just need to be awesome.

Are there any geographic restrictions?

As long as you are in a country that doesn’t have active sanctions from the US government, we are interested. Our founder isn’t known for respecting the government much, but they have all the guns, so…

Having said that, there is a bit of constraint on your accent. We are selling to an American audience, and it’s likely that they are not gonna vibe with you if your accent is really strong (for better or worse, I’m sorry).

Is it long or short form?

Probably both with a bias towards short form. It’s still very early days, and we’ll have to see how it goes and what you most excel at, but in general, I suspect it will be more short form.

Is part time, full time, or contract?

Given the nature of this role, we can be more flexible and can potentially do a contractor / part-time deal with you, especially if you are keeping up with your own channel.

We are aiming for full time creator but we’re definitely flexible.

What type of products will I be pitching?

My current thinking is that you should be a “generalist” content creator, which means you can find a creative way to make videos about just about anything.

We’ll definitely want to play to your strengths, and we will absolutely help you as much as possible with educating / training you on our catalog and such, though. It will likely be our fun kitchen products like the Beverage Barricades . We’re also launching a crocodile-shaped hot dog cutter called the CrocoDicer soon.

Then we have our B2B departments which consists of PPC Farm, an Amazon advertising agency, and Omniscio, a software product (not yet launched) for Amazon sellers.

For the business stuff, we’ll see how it goes. If you can help make content to promote those, that would be ideal, but again, we’ll definitely help you figure out what to make there.

I have my own channel. Do you expect me to post to that?

We are mostly interested in growing our own following, so it would probably make the most sense to post to our (very, very small) accounts. Nothing is in stone though, except that we will never want to take advantage of you and your following unless you thought that would be mutually beneficial.

Who else is on the team?

This is a VERY new effort for us. We previously have had basically no social media presence until recently. There are 2.5ish people working fullish time in content creation. Everyone is really nice, but it’s definitely a startup-like environment as we build this department and feel our way through.

What type of production volume do you expect?

It’s still too early for us to know what a proper production rate is, but in general, we expect everyone to have a lot of output equal to 40 hours of legit work.

It will depend on the quality and difficulty of execution for your videos, so it could be 1 per week or it could be 20. We’ll play it by ear but I promise we’re reasonable.

I am shy and don’t want to be on camera

This sounds pretty good, though I’m still skeptical that this isn’t a pyramid scheme.

You sound just like the tax authorities!

That doesn’t resolve any of my fears, but what do I need to do to apply?

Please submit your information on the following page to apply :

We promise to respond within 5-10 business days even if our answer is No.
