• Collaborate on video ideas, shot lists, and content improvements

• Be comfortable appearing on camera and contributing personality to videos

• Organize footage and manage basic file workflows

• Stay up-to-date on YouTube trends, pacing, and storytelling styles

• Strong interest in YouTube, social media, and digital storytelling
• Some basic experience with filming and video editing, I am not looking for a professional
• Agriculture background or understanding of agricultural lifestyle
• Confident, personable, and camera-comfortable
• Reliable, organized, and able to work independently
• US drivers license and personal vehicle

Preferred Qualifications (Nice to Have)

• Highly motivated, likes to constantly improve their work and themselves.
• Being able to take their job seriously while being able to have fun
• Part 107 Drone License (If you do not have this, I will reimburse the cost to take the exam)

What You’ll Gain

• Hands-on experience working on a real YouTube channel

• A strong portfolio of published content

• Direct mentorship in filming, editing, and business strategy

• Insight into the day-to-day workflow of a content creator and small business owner

• On-camera experience and personal brand exposure (if desired)
