JOB OVERVIEW

Series Scout (Remote) — Title Writer & Content Ideator

Alternates if the board caps title length: Title Writer & Content Ideator (Remote) — Anime & Web Novel Series Scout — YouTube Ideas & Titles (Work From Home)

If you can look at a video that blew up and figure out why the title worked — this is your job.

We make videos about anime and web novels. Every one of them lives or dies on the title. That's what you'd own.

You'll study the videos already performing in our niche, break down what makes their titles hit, and write batches of new ones for our own series. Some days that's twenty titles for one video until one lands. It's pattern recognition, curiosity, and taste — and if you're already the person in the group chat who reads three cultivation novels at once and has strong opinions about arc pacing, you already have the instincts we're hiring for.

Fully remote. Flexible hours. Your taste in fiction is the actual qualification.

What You'll Do

Write titles. Batches of them, daily — for new videos, and rewrites for videos that underperformed
Study inspo. Pull reference videos from channels in our niche, break down why their titles and hooks worked, and turn those patterns into something we can use
Ideate concepts. Bring video ideas, angles, and hooks — not just titles for ideas someone else had
Scout series. Track new and ongoing titles across Novel Updates, Webnovel, Bilibili, MyAnimeList, Royal Road, MTL forums, and translator ---------- s, and flag the ones worth covering
Package the pitch. For each idea: the hook, a one-paragraph synopsis, 3–5 title options, and the reference video it's modeled on
Check saturation. Know what's already been covered on YouTube and how well, before we commit a production cycle
Keep the tracker clean. Log every idea, title, and reference in Notion / Google Sheets
Deliver a weekly shortlist of ideas and titles to the content team

What We're Looking For

You genuinely read web novels or watch anime. Not "familiar with the genre" — you have opinions about tropes, pacing, and which arcs were filler
A feel for what makes people click — curiosity gaps, stakes, specificity, the right amount of spoiler
Comfortable reading MTL / machine-translated raws without losing the plot
Clear written English — punchy, not flowery
Able to take feedback and rewrite fast without getting precious about a line
Organized enough to keep a tracker current without being chased
Reliable internet and your own computer

Nice to have (not required — apply anyway):

Any prior work on YouTube titles, thumbnails, or packaging
Familiarity with YouTube analytics, CTR, or tools like vidIQ / TubeBuddy
Reading ability in Chinese, Korean, or Japanese
Notion, Airtable, or similar

We care far more about your instincts than your résumé. Career changers, students, and first-time remote workers are welcome.

Schedule & Setup

Fully remote — work from anywhere
Flexible hours — set your own schedule around a light weekly sync
Full-time and part-time both available
Equipment: your own computer and stable internet

Why Work With Us

Your hobby is the job description. The reading you'd be doing anyway becomes billable work.
Your titles ship. Write one, watch it go live, see the numbers the next morning. Fast, honest feedback loop.
No micromanagement. We measure output, not hours logged or mouse movement.
Room to grow. Ideators on our team have moved into scriptwriting, channel management, and content strategy.
A team that speaks your language. Nobody here will ask you what "xianxia" means.
