What is your monthly salary expectation in USD (net, as a remote contractor)?

Give one monthly figure, not a range. If you normally think in another currency, convert it to USD at today's rate.

What is the earliest date you could start?

If you have a notice period, give the first date you could realistically begin, not today's date.

How many years have you spent editing direct response or e-commerce video ads (not brand films, weddings, YouTube content or corporate video)?

Count only paid work where the output was an ad intended to drive sales.

Which best describes your work over the last 12 months?

Pick the single closest match.

Have you personally edited video ads that were run as paid media on Meta, TikTok or YouTube and then scaled by a media buyer as winners?

Answer yes only if the ads you cut were actually spent behind, not just delivered to a client.

What was the largest monthly ad spend sitting behind creative you edited?

Estimate the total monthly spend on the account or brand your ads ran on, at the peak month you were involved.

Which of these did you personally own, hands-on, in your recent ad work?

Select only what you did yourself, not what a teammate handled.

Writing/cutting hooks and hook variations Editing raw UGC into full ads Captions and kinetic text Motion graphics / After Effects AI video or animation generation AI avatars or voice generation AI music or sound design Reviewing hook rate, hold rate, CTR, CPA Organising creator assets and workflows

Share a link to 2–3 direct response ads you personally edited.

One link is enough (Drive folder, Frame.io, site page or ad library link). Make sure access is open to anyone with the link and that the ads are ones you cut yourself.

Pick one ad from that link and tell us why it worked.

Name the brand and platform, the numbers you know (hook rate, hold rate, CTR, CPA, spend or ROAS), what you chose to do in the first three seconds, and what you changed when the data came back. Write 150–250 words. If you cannot share exact figures, say so and give ranges.

A UGC ad you cut is live on Meta. Hook rate is strong at 32%, but hold rate collapses after the first five seconds and CPA is 40% above target. The media buyer wants three new variations by end of day, from the same raw footage. What do you do, and why?

A short paragraph is fine. Tell us what you would diagnose first, what you would change in each of the three variations, and how you would work fast enough to ship them the same day.
