About List25
List25 is one of YouTube's longest-running list-style channels, entertaining millions of viewers with fast-paced, fact-packed videos. We cover everything from history and science to pop culture and the bizarre — and we're growing fast. We need a sharp writer who can keep audiences glued from the first second to the very last frame.
The Role
You'll own the words that drive our videos. That means researching topics, writing punchy scripts, and editing them until every sentence earns its place. You understand YouTube's attention economy and know how to engineer a hook that makes people stick around — and come back.
What You'll Do
- Write and edit engaging scripts for list-style YouTube videos (800–5,000 words)
- Craft irresistible intros that hook viewers in the first 30 seconds
- Structure scripts to maximize audience retention throughout the video
- Research topics and fact-check content for accuracy
- Collaborate with our production team on titles, thumbnails, and pacing notes
- Revise scripts based on performance data — you're always learning what works
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience writing scripts for YouTube — please include channel links or samples
- A master of the hook: your intros make people forget they were about to scroll away
- Deep understanding of retention — you think in loops, payoffs, and pattern interrupts
- Fast, clean writer who can hit a deadline without sacrificing quality
- A sharp editor — you cut ruthlessly and every word has a reason to be there
- Bonus: familiarity with List25's style, or experience in the list/trivia genre
Nice to Have
- Experience analyzing YouTube analytics to improve future scripts
- Background in journalism, copywriting, or broadcast writing
- Passion for trivia, history, science, or pop culture
