Talented Content Creator — Short & Long-Form Video for a Sports Card Portfolio App

Category / Skills / Scope Category: Video Editing (same as before — closest fit of Upwork's auto-suggestions) Skills tags: Short-Form Video, Content Creation, Video Editing, UGC, TikTok Marketing, Instagram Reels, Storytelling (dropped "Sports & Recreation" — no longer a fit requirement) Scope: Medium, 1-3 months Experience level: Intermediate Contract type: Fixed price Budget: $400 total for this contract — trial batch only (3-5 pieces). Same anchoring logic as before: description states it twice, full 20-30+ piece batch is a separate future contract, not priced here. US-based required. Job Description We need a talented content creator who can turn a product into compelling video — no sports card background required. Slabvio is a portfolio management app for sports card collectors: it tells you what your cards are worth, tracks profit margin and when to sell, handles your real costs and P&L, manages your inventory, and lists straight to eBay. You'll get full access to the app, our mission and vision, and creative freedom on how to bring it to life on camera. We're hiring for a paid trial batch first: 3-5 short-form and/or long-form videos, $400 fixed for this contract. If it's a good fit, a larger 20-30+ piece project follows as a separate, future contract — not part of this one. What matters most: strong storytelling and editing instinct, and the ability to make a product demo feel like real content instead of an ad. We'll hand you the context; you make the creative calls. One firm requirement: content can't make bare profit/return claims without context — that kind of language got a previous ad flagged by TikTok for "Financial Misrepresentation." Comfort working within ad-platform compliance rules for finance-adjacent products is required, not optional. Deliverable format: mix of vertical (9:16) short-form and long-form cuts. Raw + edited versions where possible — this content may also feed a separate paid-ads effort. Screening questions Link 2-3 examples of your best short-form and/or long-form video work — any subject. In a sentence or two, how do you keep branded/product content from feeling like an ad? Have you created content under compliance rules before (finance, health, or similarly regulated/sensitive categories)? Briefly describe. Are you US-based, and comfortable starting with this $400 / 3-5 piece trial before a larger, separately-priced project is discussed?
