YouTube Shorts Writer
BlobbyClips is one of YouTube's fastest growing channels, creating short 2D animations that generate billions of views each month. We publish at high volume, move quickly, and aim to make every video better than the last.
We're hiring multiple writers who understand internet humor, visual comedy, short-form storytelling, and what makes someone stop scrolling.
See the examples below. If you can write something like this, we'd love to see what you can do:

The Role
This is not a traditional screenwriting job. You'll come up with original concepts and turn the strongest ideas into tightly structured screenplays built specifically for YouTube Shorts.
Scripts are usually 300-900 words total, including dialogue and animation direction. You'll learn from successful BlobbyClips videos by understanding why they work, then apply those principles to completely different premises and structures.
Your goal: Consistently create visually driven scripts that hook immediately, keep progressing, and end with a strong payoff.
- Generate strong, original ideas at high volume.
- Write complete short screenplays with dialogue and clear animation direction.
- Match the BlobbyClips voice while keeping premises and structures fresh.
- Deliver approximately 7 finished scripts per week.
- Apply feedback quickly and revise scripts when needed.
- Use internal examples and performance insights to continuously improve.
What We're Looking For
- A strong natural sense of comedy, storytelling, and internet culture.
- Excellent idea-generation skills.
- A strong understanding of hooks, pacing, escalation, and payoff.
- The ability to think visually, not just write dialogue.
- Excellent written and spoken English.
- Reliability, independence, and the ability to handle direct creative feedback.
Experience with comedy writing, YouTube, animation, TikTok, Reels, or other short-form content is a plus, but not required. Your creative submissions matter far more than your resume.
- Write for a rapidly growing channel generating billions of views each month.
- Have your ideas turned into fully produced 2D animated Shorts.
- Work remotely from anywhere in the world.
- Receive consistent ongoing work at approximately 7 scripts per week.
- Earn additional performance bonuses for standout scripts.
- Access successful examples, internal writing resources, and performance insights.
- Strong writers can earn higher rates and take on larger creative roles as the team grows.
Compensation
The ongoing contractor role pays $75 USD per commissioned finished script, with an expected workload of 7 scripts per week ($525 USD per week).
$75 per script is the base rate, not the ceiling. Writers can earn additional performance bonuses for exceptional scripts, with opportunities for higher per-script rates as they consistently prove themselves.
Commissioned scripts may require reasonable revisions as part of the writing process.
Test Project & Hiring Process
Selected applicants will be invited to complete a writer test after their application is reviewed.
- Application: Submit relevant work or experience, your availability, and 3 one-sentence BlobbyClips premises.
- Unpaid test: Selected applicants write 2 original BlobbyClips-style screenplays. Test submissions are used strictly for evaluation and will not be commercially produced unless separately agreed upon.
- Paid trial: The strongest applicants complete 5 scripts at $50 USD per script ($250 total) and receive additional writing resources.
- Ongoing role: The strongest trial writers are offered an ongoing contract writing 7 scripts per week at $75 USD per approved script.
We are hiring multiple writers for the ongoing team.
The initial test has no hard deadline, but submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis, so sooner is better. We evaluate originality, idea quality, hooks, progression, visual storytelling, pacing, and payoff.
Why is the test unpaid?
Traditional writing portfolios rarely show whether someone can write specifically for this format. The two-script test is used strictly for evaluation, and strong applicants move into a paid trial before any ongoing hiring decision is made.
