If you are a talented copywriter with a proven history of driving revenue via the written word—for landing pages, ads, email campaigns, and sales collateral—keep reading.
We are building a freelance copy team to support our marketing initiatives that reach millions of people annually. You'll imagine, draft, and edit narratives to compel people to take action, ultimately furthering our mission of creating 100,000 new business owners.
We want to say less and have more meaning. Like this job description. If you can help us achieve that, lets go!
Here's a list of primary skills we believe are necessary for this role:
- 2+ years of experience in the areas of copywriting (not content writing — there are no blog posts, articles, or newsletters being written in this role)
- But–this role is NOT for people who want to “prove themselves” and “cut their teeth” on the copy floor. This is for experienced writers who want to work closely with our media and marketing teams and do their best possible work.
- Truly craves a startup environment where we are learning, iterating, and shipping things quickly
- Experience with understanding general marketing principles, especially in the info product and education niche
- A self-starter; you learn quickly, absorb like a sponge, and take action
- A Contrarian at heart. Not sure what that is? Keep reading.
We free minds and build bank accounts. We're on a mission to help 1 million people become financially free and to create 100,000 small business owners.
We're a digital education and media startup that has amassed 6 million followers in 3 years–and we're just getting started.
Our weekly newsletter is read by over 700,000 subscribers, which you can read here. (https://contrarianthinking.co/category/free-newsletter/contrarian-thinking/)
We also produce some of the best content in the finance niche on our YouTube channel (and Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and TikTok).
99% of our content is 100% free.
The other 1% is how we help people become expert deal makers so they can acquire a “boring business” that cashflows.
We do this through our courses and 1,200+ person global community.
We also have our own investment fund, Contrarian Thinking Capital, that invests in the businesses and tech that supports SMB growth and our own portfolio company, Main Street Hold co.
So, yeah, you could say we put our money where our mouths are.

The “Silver Tsunami” is in full effect, with Baby Boomers retiring and their businesses needing a succession plan.
Their businesses have been run for decades, many at a healthy profit, but alas, they have been overlooked by institutional investors.
And since many Millennials are focused on becoming YouTube stars and not wanting to own their parent's landscaping company (even if it's making millions)…these Boomers are forced to either close or sell their business.
Therein lies our opportunity.
We call them “Boring Businesses”. They are your local laundromats, car washes, pool cleaning routes, handyman services, etc.–the unsexy blue-collar businesses that no one thinks about but everyone needs. And boy are they profitable.
But it's not all about the benjamins.
We believe our communities are a better place when our actual neighbor owns the Neighborhood Store and not a conglomerate.
We believe in Main Street over Wall Street.
We believe in thinking critically and cash flowing unconventionally.
We believe in our Contrarian Creed, which is our operating philosophy for our business.
These are the words we stand by, live by and define what it means to be a Contrarian.
