We believe shopping should feel like winning. That’s why 10 million people come to Slickdeals to swap tips, upvote the best finds, and share the thrill of a great deal. Together, our community has saved more than $10 billion over the past 26 years.
We’re profitable, passionate, and in the middle of an exciting evolution—transforming from the internet’s most trusted deal forum into the go-to daily shopping destination. If you thrive in a fast-moving, creative environment where ideas turn into impact fast, you’ll fit right in.
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)
- 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
- Understanding of what makes compelling content for different social media platforms
Additional Notes:
- Final candidates may be asked to complete a paid test video
- Content will be used across Slickdeals-owned channels (paid + organic)
- We’re looking for creators who sound like a deal-obsessed friend—clear, helpful, a little opinionated, and straight to the point
- Subject to background check
- $30-$150 per video, depending on experience and requested style of video

Candidates must be eligible to work in the United States.
