FREELANCER BRIEFING
YouTube Channel: Raus aus der Heizkostenfalle
24 Videos | 8-10 Min. | German | Budget: EUR 600
1. CHANNEL OVERVIEW
Channel name: Raus aus der Heizkostenfalle
Language: German (100%)
Target audience: German homeowners, age 45-65
Tone: Authentic, direct, fact-based -- NOT generic marketing
The channel has three revenue streams:
• Lead generation for heat pump installations in Germany
• AdSense revenue through high-volume Cash Cow content (Type A videos -- your specialty)
• Affiliate marketing and direct brand sponsorships (Viessmann, Bosch, EcoFlow, Tibber and others)
This is NOT a generic cash cow channel. Quality and accuracy are more important than speed.
2. TWO VIDEO TYPES
TYPE A -- CASH COW / INFORMATION VIDEOS (your specialty)
High-volume, SEO-optimized, faceless videos on energy topics for German homeowners: gas prices, heat pump costs, government subsidies, electricity tariffs, solar panels, new laws (GModG), etc.
Goal: Maximum reach -> AdSense revenue + affiliate income
What I deliver: Topic only (full content list in Section 11)
What you deliver:
• Script in German (your team researches and writes)
• Voiceover using MY cloned voice via ElevenLabs
• Stock footage + graphics + dynamic text overlays
• Thumbnail
• SEO: title, description, tags, chapters in German
• Upload to my YouTube channel
IMPORTANT for Type A:
• Script must use real, current facts and numbers (sources: 2025-2026). No invented statistics.
• Production starts ONLY after my written script approval. I will return feedback within 48 hours.
• Each video must include ONE affiliate CTA at the end (link and text provided per video). All affiliate links must be labeled #Werbung/#Anzeige (German law).
• The installation business is NEVER mentioned in Type A videos.
TYPE B -- REAL INSTALLATION PROJECT VIDEOS (Heat Pumps)
These videos document real heat pump installation projects. They build trust and generate inquiries.
What I deliver: Finished script in German + project photos from real job sites
What you deliver:
• Voiceover using MY cloned voice via ElevenLabs (reading my script exactly -- no changes to the text)
• Dynamic video editing on my photos
• Text overlays in German -- font choice is your creative decision
• Thumbnail, SEO, Upload
IMPORTANT for Type B:
• The script is final when I send it. No rewriting, no paraphrasing.
• No stock footage -- only my project photos.
• No AI-generated images.
3. VIDEO EDITING STYLE (both types)
This is critical. The editing must be dynamic and energetic -- NOT slow or documentary-style.
• Image/scene changes: every 5-7 seconds
• Transitions: mix of hard cuts AND cross-fades
• Text animations: text flies in from left, right and bottom -- never static
• Sound design: Whoosh sound on every text entry, Bass-Drop on important numbers and facts
• Music: Royalty-free, licensed for commercial YouTube use -- no Content ID claims. Library of your choice (Epidemic Sound, Artlist, etc.). Please confirm which library you use.
• Color grading: warm AND cold depending on scene, medium to high contrast
• B-Roll: stock video clips (NOT static photo slideshows)
• For Type B: my project photos dynamically edited between B-Roll stock clips
• Avatar: You may create a professional AI avatar representing me (Alberto, 45-55 years, Latino appearance) for occasional use in videos. Must be approved by me before use.
4. VOICE REQUIREMENTS
• Voice: MY cloned voice via ElevenLabs (I will send you my voice sample)
• Before full production: send me a 30-60 second voice demo for approval
• The voice must sound strong, confident and emotional -- not robotic
• ElevenLabs settings: high similarity, moderate stability, low style transfer
5. THUMBNAIL
Size: 1280 x 720 px, PNG. Creative direction is your decision -- you are the expert. Please follow best practices for the German energy niche: high CTR, emotional, bold text, strong contrast. Draft must be submitted for my approval before finalizing.
6. SEO REQUIREMENTS
• All SEO in German.
• Title: max. 60 characters, primary keyword + emotion/curiosity trigger
• Description: First line keyword-rich, chapters with timestamps, short emotional summary, affiliate link, contact link https://tally.so/r/PdbGQd, max. 15 hashtags

7. SCRIPT REQUIREMENTS (both types)

Structure -- strictly required:
Seconds 0-8 -- Instant benefit: The video starts WITHOUT any greeting, directly with the promise: "In this video you will learn..." -- followed by at least 3 concrete solutions/benefits the video delivers. The viewer decides in the first 6 seconds whether to stay. They must immediately hear what they gain.
Seconds 8-45 -- Emotional Hook: Maximum 30-45 seconds, strongly emotional, personal, gripping -- pulls the viewer deep into the topic before the main video begins.
Then: Problem -> Facts + Numbers -> Solution -> Cost/savings calculation -> CTA
• At least one objection with rebuttal
