This is an in-person summer internship based in our Westlake (Austin) office. You'll create real content for two brands: selfpublishing.com and our CEO Chandler Bolt's personal brand. Your work won't sit in a folder. It gets posted.

More specifically, you'll:

• 🎬Create original short-form content (Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts) for two brands: selfpublishing.com and our CEO Chandler Bolt's personal brand
• ✂️Edit and repurpose existing long-form content, including podcast episodes and YouTube videos, into short clips for both brands
• ✍️Write captions, hooks, and on-screen text that match each brand's voice
• 🎥Help plan and film content in our Austin office, including behind-the-scenes, founder content with Chandler, and team moments
• 🔍Research trending formats, sounds, and creators in the author, book, and entrepreneurship spaces, and pitch new ideas
• 📅Schedule and post content across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and Facebook
• 📊Track performance on your posts and share what's working in weekly check-ins
• 💬Engage with our communities by replying to comments and DMs

• 🧠How a real content team plans, produces, and ships content every week
• 🌿How to grow a company brand and a founder's personal brand side by side, and how they work differently
• 🎞️Short-form editing and storytelling that holds attention

• You know how to edit, whether that’s on your phone (CapCut, InShot) or your computer (Premiere, Final Cut, or similar)
• You’re a creator yourself, or at least deeply creative, and you love telling stories
• You’re the person who’s always saving videos to recreate later or sending yourself hooks you like
• You’re into entrepreneurship and business building, or you love reading, writing, and books (bonus if it’s both)

• Bonus: a portfolio, personal page, or any content you’ve made
