Videographer & Content Strategist

About this role

You live with a camera in your hand. You see the video in your head before you shoot it. You want to work on something bigger than another wedding or another real estate walkthrough.

I'm building a content engine around my personal brand, and I need one person on Long Island to build it with me. That means YouTube vlogs, story-driven series, short form on every platform, and the strategy that ties it all together.

About Me

I'm Joe Elshazly. I've built multiple businesses, and I've trained business owners and operators to scale past 7 and 8 figures. Today I build home service companies, train sales teams, and run a marketing agency for contractors. Next, I'm acquiring companies. Every one of those things gets bigger when the right people know who I am, like owners who might sell to me, partner with me, or hire me. I've barely posted so far, and every time I do, the phone rings. Now I want to do it for real.

That means you'd be documenting the whole thing: deals, sales trainings, the businesses, the team, the wins, and the hard days. It's real, and none of it is staged.

This Is A Long-Term Role

This starts as a contract role, but I'm not looking for someone to knock out a few videos and move on. I want one person who works side by side with me, gets to know how I think, and builds this with me for the long haul. The better you know me, the better the content gets. I'm looking for a real working relationship, not a gig.

Is This You?

• You freelance and you're always chasing the next client or invoice
• You shoot weddings or real estate and you're tired of the same thing every weekend
• You edit at an agency and never get to pitch your own ideas
• You run your own channel, but it isn't paying the bills yet
• You just got out of film or media school and want a real shot
• You do video on the side of a day job and want to make it your main thing
• You already use AI to edit and want to work with someone who's all in on it too

If you nodded at any of these, keep reading.

What You'll Do

• Plan the content with me. I'll share my short and long term goals. You turn them into a plan, bring me ideas, and tell me when it's time to change topics.
• Run shoot days at my office in Bohemia. Set up, keep me on track, and get the best out of me on camera.
• Film the businesses. Shoot with my teams and go out in the field. That footage feeds my content and the company pages.
• Edit everything. That means long form YouTube like vlogs, story videos, and even show-style series, plus short clips for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube Shorts.
• Post and track it. Keep a steady schedule and show me what's working.

The hard part is that I'm busy and I won't always have the idea. You need to show up with the plan, push me to get on camera, and keep things moving when I'm slammed. If you need to be told what to shoot, this won't work.

How We Work

Every company I run lives by five values: We Own It, We Grow or Die, We Do the Right Thing, We Do Whatever It Takes, and We Are Rapid for a Reason. For this role, We Own It means you treat this channel like it's yours, not like a gig. We Grow or Die means we test, look at what worked, and get better every month.

What You'll Get

• Steady, long-term work with one person instead of chasing five small clients
• Real creative say. Your ideas get made.
• The resources and tools to do your best work, with a partner who's always looking ahead and wants to invest in the newest gear, software, and AI to make everything better and faster
• A real business education from me and my mentors
• A seat in the room for forum meetings, where you can see how 8-figure construction companies and marketing agencies actually get built
• Endless material: multiple businesses, real jobs, a real team, and real decisions happening every day
• Your path, your call. If you want to grow into a bigger role with us, there's room. If you want to build your own business someday, I'll help you do that too.

What You Need

• You live on Long Island and can be at my office in Bohemia on a regular schedule
• Your own camera, audio, and editing setup
• Work you can show us, ideally long form or story-driven
• You use AI in your editing and you're open to using it for everything. If you're against AI, this isn't for you.
• You shoot things even when nobody's paying you
• You can commit to near full-time hour

What Success Looks Like

In the first 90 days we have a content plan we both agree on, YouTube and short form go out on a steady schedule, and you're running shoot days without me chasing it.

Pay

TBD, based on your experience and the hours we agree on. I'm willing to pay top of market for the best person.

How To Apply

Include these with your application:

• A link to a video you made that tells a story. It can be long form, a vlog, a short piece, or anything similar. It doesn't need to be perfect. I just want to see how you think.
• The AI tools you use in your workflow, or something you're learning with AI for video right now
• One video idea you'd want to shoot with a founder who builds companies, trains sales teams, and is getting into acquisitions

Applications without these won't get a reply. If it looks like a fit, we'll reach out within a couple of days to meet in person.
