About Slickdeals
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

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

Location
