G'day! We're Sweet Home Exterior Cleaning, a pressure cleaning and soft washing company in Sydney, Australia. We clean houses, roofs, driveways and building exteriors, and our crews film everything.
Every day our technicians shoot photos and videos on their iPhones, and everything uploads automatically to a shared iPhone library. We have HUNDREDS of unpublished clips and long raw videos, all REAL jobs with REAL people. No AI, no stock footage.
We're looking for a Content Creator & Storyteller to become the backbone of our content: someone who finds the story in the footage and posts it every day.
THE FEELING
Real, raw and human. Think "a day on the tools with mates" rather than "TV commercial". The dirt, the early starts, the tired roof that's been ignored for 20 years, the customer who can't believe it's the same house. Real and a bit rough beats polished and fake.
We do NOT want over-produced videos, fancy motion graphics or corporate-looking edits. We DO want fast cuts, strong hooks, natural captions and stories that make people feel something.
We're chasing VOLUME first, then quality. We'd rather post 5 good videos today than 1 perfect video this week.
THE TWO FORMATS WE NEED
1. Quick clips (7–20 seconds): satisfying cleans, reveals, close-ups. Several every day.
2. Story videos (60 seconds to 3+ minutes): a person, a problem, a transformation, a reaction. For example: "This house was about to be repainted for $40,000…", "Phil's first roof in the rain", "She hadn't seen her driveway this colour in 15 years."
One job should become at least 5 pieces of content.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Go through our shared iPhone library (new uploads every day plus a big backlog) and turn it into Reels, TikToks, Shorts and carousels
- Post daily on Instagram, TikTok,
- Start at 2–3 posts per half-day session and build up to around 5 per session
- Spot trends, formats and sounds on TikTok and Instagram that we can adapt
- Write hooks, captions and on-screen text that sound natural and Australian
- Make our team (Danco the founder, Paulo, Phil) and our customers the recurring characters in our stories
- Ask us for what you need (e.g. "Danco, record a 5-second hook to camera saying X")
- Keep a weekly content calendar and review the numbers with us every week. We'll decide together what to do more of.
HOW YOUR WEEK LOOKS (20 hrs)
- 4 posting sessions (about 4 hrs each): edit, create, post
- 1 strategy session (about 4 hrs): review what worked, research trends, plan next week, send shot requests to the team
- About 80% from existing footage, 20% new creative ideas
YOU MUST HAVE
- An iPhone. Our photos and videos sync through an iPhone Shared Library, so you need one to access and edit them (any computer is fine as well)
- Strong CapCut skills (Canva is a plus)
- Proof you've made content that gets views: links + screenshots of views, reach or follower growth
- Experience creating content for businesses
- Strong storytelling and good written English

BIG BONUS IF YOU
- Have worked with Australian clients or understand Aussie humour and slang

1. A short intro and your available hours (Philippine time)
2. Links to 3–5 videos you created, with screenshots of views or results
3. Businesses or accounts you've made content for (any in Australia?)
4. STORY TEST: "A crew spends 6 hours cleaning a black, mouldy roof in Sydney. The owner is 78 and has lived there 40 years." Give us 3 hooks (the first 2 seconds) AND a 3-sentence outline of the story video you'd make.
5. GUT CHECK: "It's Friday afternoon, you've posted 2 of your 5 videos, and the new uploads are all blurry. What do you do?" (One or two sentences.)
6. Your expected hourly rate (USD)
TRIAL
Shortlisted applicants do a short trial with our real footage. If you can show proof of past results, the trial is PAID. If you're newer and can't show proof yet, you'll do a short free test (about 1 hour). We never post free test work.
We read every application personally. If you love making content that feels real and tells a story, we want to hear from you!
