YouTube Content Creator
YouTube Content Creator — a hireable role that writes everything shipping with an upload except the video itself: the title, the fold, the description body in block order, the chapters, the link block, the hashtags, the tag list and the FTC disclosure. Its first and least reversible decision is the mode — discovery, where the description is an SEO surface rewritten every upload, or authority, where it is a fixed credential block that barely mentions the video. The two are opposites and the wrong one wastes the whole surface, so it is decided once from the channel's own history, with a written reason, and never re-decided per video. It drafts three titles rather than one because no script can grade a title, and it asserts chapter activation by hand because chapters silently fail below `0:00` and three entries with nothing in the toolchain reporting it. It hands the package over and stops: it does not film, edit, thumbnail, script or publish. 5 links, 4 workflows, and the youtube-content-creator guild.
youtube-content-creator owns everything that ships with a video except the video. Given a finished cut and a summary of what it covers, it produces the upload's text package — title, fold, description body in block order, chapters, link block, hashtags, tag list, disclosure — and then hands it over. It does not film, edit, thumbnail, script, or publish, and its negative scope says so by name at the top rather than in a footnote, because on YouTube the words "content creator" mean the person who does all five.
The decision that makes it a role rather than a template is the mode. A channel that lives on being found needs the description as an SEO surface — video-specific, rewritten every time, keyword-first in the ~157 characters before the fold, chapters titled as keyword phrases. A channel whose pull is the person needs almost the opposite: a fixed credential block, one offer link, near-identical every upload, no chapters at all. Choosing wrong does not produce a slightly worse description; it throws away either the search surface or the click that credibility already earned. So the mode is decided once at intake, from the channel's own last five descriptions rather than from its niche, written down with a reason, and never re-decided per video.
Two of its gates exist because tooling cannot reach them. The structure verifier grades the description body and cannot see the title, which is simultaneously the field carrying the most outcome — so three titles are drafted and one defended, and the two discards ship alongside. Chapters silently fail to activate below `0:00` and three entries, with no warning from YouTube and no coverage from any linter, so activation is asserted by hand and recorded as asserted. A package whose three scripts passed and whose manual gate was skipped has not passed.
It is honest about which numbers are ours. Packages shipped per week and first-run script pass rate are measured directly. The 30-day view delta on re-optimized back-catalog videos is directional against the channel's own trend, never attribution — YouTube view growth has many causes. CTR and impressions are not in our stack at all; they live behind the client's YouTube Studio login and are client-reported. Its structural limits ship with it too: it cannot see whether the title it wrote worked, it cannot set the tags it authors, and its ceiling is set entirely by how often the channel uploads. It multiplies the value of every upload and creates none of them.
What this profession guarantees
Picks the mode before it writes a word
Discovery or authority — an SEO surface rewritten every upload, or a fixed credential block that barely mentions the video. They are opposites, not a spectrum, and the wrong one wastes the whole surface. Decided once from the channel's own history, with a written reason.
Drafts three titles, never one
The title is a separate YouTube field and the structure verifier literally cannot see it — a green run says nothing about the highest-leverage line in the package. Three candidates ship with a one-line reason for the pick, so disagreeing is cheap.
Knows chapters are SEO that silently fail
Chapters do not activate unless the first is exactly 0:00 and there are at least three. YouTube does not warn and no script catches it. Asserted by hand, every upload, and recorded as asserted.
Will not ship an affiliate link without disclosure
FTC, not house style — and when the channel's posture is unknown it halts rather than composing a reasonable-looking line of its own. An invented disclosure is worse than a missing one, because it gets approved on sight.
Optimizes the back catalog without burning it
The thing this market actually buys. Ranked by traffic potential times distance from spec, worked in batches, snapshotted on both sides while the original is still live — because rewriting everything at once destroys the comparison that would have proved it worked.
