Requirements

  • What we're looking for
  • Sourcing discipline. You open the primary document, not the article about it, and can defend any claim in your own work on the spot.
  • Finance literacy. You can read a 10-K, a central bank statement or a BIS paper and come out with an argument.
  • Register control. You can raise a script's emotional voltage without reaching for wealth-guru or doom tools, and rewrite a hyped paragraph down without losing the stakes.
  • Retention craft. You design open loops, pattern interrupts and a climax on purpose - and can draw the retention map because you built it that way.
  • Writing for the ear. Scripted for a teleprompter: one idea per sentence, every term defined at first use, read aloud before submission.
  • Comfort working inside someone else's frame. You flag a hole in the argument and stop - you don't hedge around it or quietly strengthen a claim the host can't defend.
  • Proactivity, attention to detail, high standards, curiosity about macro and digital assets, and integrity about what you have and haven't checked.
  • What you'll need to show us
  • To reach an interview, you need to evidence all four of the following. We screen on evidence, not on our own read of the writing.
  • Proven scale, in this category. Seven figures of cumulative views on finance, macro, investing or business long-form - or a verified 3x-plus outlier against a serious finance channel's trailing average. Must be 25-minute-plus long-form; short-form and 8-minute credits don't count. Retention data required (average view duration, first-minute retention - not view counts), shown live via YouTube Studio screenshare or confirmed by the channel owner. Screenshots alone, or channels you can't name, don't count.
  • A high-value audience, not just a large one. What the channel sells, at what price, to whom - sponsor class and CPM are good proxies. Our viewer is 45-plus with $1M+ net worth.
  • At least one sample in a calm, sourced, institutional register. If the whole portfolio is hype, get-rich or doom content, that's a disqualifier regardless of the numbers.
  • Willingness to complete a paid work sample. One assigned title, five working days, $1,250 - paid whether or not we hire.
  • How we'll hire
  • Stage 1 - Past work review and interview. We read the actual work - not a summary or a list of links - against the four requirements above. If all four are evidenced, you move forward regardless of our personal taste in the writing.
  • Stage 2 - Paid trial script. One assigned title, the Content Standard, five working days. Paid $1,250, whether or not you're hired - that's told upfront. You deliver: a research memo (two pages max, every claim sourced to a primary document, both sides of any contested argument argued); the hook (six beats, 70 words or fewer); the full script with SHOW cues and SOURCE tags inline; a retention map.
  • Stage 3 - Contract → conversion. Trial script, then a contract which includes a 3 month trial period at the monthly rate, converting to a permanent seat on day 90 against the outcomes above.

Benefits
