Project Overview
We’re looking for U.S.-based social media content creators to partner with us on short-form, deal-focused video content for Slickdeals.
This is a great fit for creators who are quick, comfortable on camera, and can turn around engaging, informative videos on tight timelines.
What You'll Create
- 40–80 second videos highlighting a specific deal or deal-related content (eg, shopping events, multiple deals at a retailer, deal categories, etc)
- Shot either: on camera (talking head) or with a simple background (green screen or deal imagery behind you)
- Some basic editing is required: no graphics, no lower thirds, no captions/chyrons
- We will handle final editing and post-production
How it Works
- We provide: the deal or topic, key details / parameters (not a full script)
- You create: a clear, engaging, conversational video explaining the deal or topic
- Turnaround: varies depending on content needed; sometimes as short as 6 hours from assignment to delivery, sometimes as long as a week is acceptable. Flexibility is critical.
Ongoing Opportunity
- Selected creators may receive up to 1–2 video assignments per week
- Work is as-needed / at-will (no guaranteed volume)
Who You Are
- U.S. based creator
- Comfortable on camera with strong presence and clarity
- Casual, natural presence, credible, approachable
- Able to quickly interpret direction and create without a full script
- Reliable with fast turnaround times
- Familiar with TikTok/Reels-style content (natural, not overproduced)
Nice to Have
- Experience creating UGC for brands
- Ability to vary tone (urgent deal, informative, enthusiastic, etc.)
- Basic understanding of what makes a “good deal” compelling
