JOB OVERVIEW

I have a 15-minute comedy short film, and I'm looking for ONE talented editor to turn it into viral short-form clips and post them consistently to Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts.

THE GOAL OF EVERY CLIP: make people want to watch the FULL film on YouTube. Each clip should be funny on its own, but leave viewers curious - with a caption and call-to-action pointing them to the full video.

WHAT MAKES THIS JOB DIFFERENT: I'm not looking for a "clean" corporate editor. I'm looking for someone who understands COMEDY - someone who knows where the laugh is, cuts to the punchline fast, and makes clips that feel native to TikTok, not like ads.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Watch my short film and identify the funniest, most clippable moments
- Edit 4-6 vertical (9:16) clips per week using CapCut or Premiere
- Add captions/subtitles, sound design, and meme-style text where it fits
- Post clips to Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts on a consistent schedule (you'll help set up a new TikTok account; Instagram and YouTube access provided through business/scheduling tools)
- Potentially set up and run 1-2 additional "clip page" style accounts posting clips of the film, so discovery feels organic
- Write short, punchy captions with a consistent call-to-action driving viewers to the full film on YouTube
- Send me a simple weekly recap: what was posted, views, what's working

DELIVERABLES (PER CLIP):
- Vertical 9:16 format, optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
- All content sourced from existing footage I provide (no need to shoot anything)
- Each clip should feel editor-led and organic - like a fan or meme page clipped it, NOT like a movie trailer or an ad
- Never spoil the ending or the biggest laugh of the film - clips should make people want to see the full thing
- End each clip on a moment that drives rewatch or curiosity
- Clips should be meme-able: relatable moments, quotable lines, reaction-worthy beats

REQUIREMENTS:
- Proven experience editing FUNNY short-form content (comedy skits, meme pages, streamer clips, etc.)
- Portfolio links to actual TikToks/Reels/Shorts you edited, with view counts. This is required. Applications without links will be ignored.
- Strong CapCut skills (Premiere also fine)
- Good English for captions
- Reliable internet and ability to post on a consistent schedule
- Big bonus: you have a successful clipping/meme page of your own - include the link

PAY (BASE + PERFORMANCE):
- $50/month base for consistent posting (4-6 clips per week)
- PLUS $0.50 per 1,000 views on clips once they pass 10,000 views
- Total monthly cap: $150
- Organic views only. No bots, view-buying, engagement pods, or paid promotion. You'll provide analytics access (view-only) so views and traffic sources can be verified. Clips with fake/botted views are voided and it ends the working relationship.
- Views tracked across all platforms and pages, paid monthly
- Trial month first, then long-term if we're both happy

This means: you're guaranteed the base for doing the work, and if your clips perform, you earn up to 3x that. If you're confident in your ability to make things go viral.

HOW TO APPLY:
1. Start your application with the word MANGO so I know you read this whole post
2. Include 3-5 links to funny short-form clips YOU edited (with view counts if possible)
3. Tell me in 2-3 sentences: what makes a comedy clip go viral?

Your past work will speak for itself - the strongest portfolios get shortlisted, and hiring decisions are based on the funny clips you've already made.
