Instagram Growth Assistant — Australian Property Brand

Hourly · Long-term · Start with a paid 3-hour trial

15 hours per week (approx. 3 hours per day, Mon–Fri) · Ongoing, reviewed monthly · Freelancer.com Time Tracker required

Who We Are

We are Australian Buyers Agent Services (ABAS) — austbas.com.au. We are a licensed, independent property advisory firm in Sydney. We help people buy Australian property: we research it, value it, and negotiate on the buyer's side. We do not sell property.

Our Instagram needs to reach Australians who are looking to buy a home or an investment property. We need a reliable assistant to do that daily engagement work for us, every weekday, using a clear process we will teach you.

What You Will Do Each Day

This is a routine, process-driven role. Roughly 3 hours per weekday, done consistently:

• Engage with our target audience. Follow, like and view stories of people who follow the target accounts we give you (Australian buyer's agents, property investors, mortgage brokers, property podcasts, first-home-buyer pages). All manual, all within Instagram's daily limits.

• Post approved comments. We will give you a written comment bank and a style guide. You choose the right comment for the right post. You do not write your own comments (see Rules below).

• Build target lists. Research and maintain a spreadsheet of new Australian accounts, hashtags and locations worth engaging — suburbs, cities, property topics.

• Track hashtags. Keep our hashtag sets updated and note which ones our posts perform best with.
• Log your work. Fill in a simple daily tracker: accounts engaged, follows, unfollows, comments used, anything unusual.
• Weekly report. Every Friday, a short report from Instagram Insights: new followers, follower locations, reach, engagement rate, profile visits and website clicks. One paragraph on what you noticed.

What You Will NOT Do

• Create content, design graphics, edit video, or write captions — we produce all content
• Post or schedule anything to our feed or stories
• Send DMs to anyone, for any reason
• Reply to enquiries or questions — screenshot them and send them to us
• Run ads

Targets

We will agree targets after your first two weeks. Our working benchmark per 4 weeks:
• 100–300 new followers who are real, active, and located in Australia
• Engagement rate holding steady or improving as we grow
• More profile visits and more clicks to austbas.com.au

Follower location is how we measure quality. We check the location breakdown in Instagram Insights. Followers from outside Australia do not count as growth for us, because they cannot buy Australian property. Please do not try to inflate the numbers — it will be obvious in the first report.
Rules — Please Read Before You Bid

1. We will not give you our password

We will never share our Instagram username and password. Sharing login details breaks Instagram's Terms of Use. We will give you proper access instead — a role in Meta Business Suite, or a tool account that we own and control. If your method needs our password, please do not bid.
2. No bots, no automation tools, no bought followers

Everything must be done by hand. No automation software, no mass follow/unfollow tools, no engagement pods, no purchased followers. These break Instagram's rules and can get the account blocked or permanently deleted. Our business is built on being trustworthy, so fake followers would damage us more than slow growth ever could. If we find automation being used, the contract ends that day.

3. Comments come from our approved list

We are a licensed property and tax advisory business in Australia
. Under Australian law, we cannot give property, financial or tax advice casually online. So under our account you must never:
• recommend a suburb or a property, or say a property is a good buy
• predict prices, growth, rents or interest rates
• comment on anyone's loan, deposit, budget or tax
• promise any result, saving or return
• criticise another agent, agency or seller

If someone asks a question like this, do not answer it. Screenshot it and send it to us. Use only the comments in the approved bank, or ask us before writing something new.

4. Stay inside Instagram's daily limits
We would rather grow slowly and keep the account safe than push limits and get an action block. If you are unsure about a volume, ask first.

5. Confidentiality
Target lists, spreadsheets, reports and account data belong to us. You will sign a simple NDA. Everything is handed back if we stop working together.
What You Need
• Reliability above everything. The same work done every weekday matters more than talent. If you disappear for three days, the growth stops.
• Good written English. You will be posting comments on a professional Australian business account. Comments must read naturally, with no spelling errors and no emoji spam.
• Previous Instagram engagement work — please show what you did and the results
• Basic spreadsheet skills (Google Sheets) and comfort reading Instagram Insights
• Overlap with Sydney hours (AEST/AEDT) for a short weekly check-in — you do not need to work Sydney hours the rest of the time
• Freelancer.com Time Tracker must be used for all billed hours. Screenshots on, no manual time entries.
Property, finance or professional-services experience is a bonus, not a requirement. We will train you on the process.
Pay and Hours

• 15 hours per week maximum (about 3 hours per weekday). We approve hours weekly. Do not bill above the cap without asking first.
• Paid 3-hour trial task first — a real day of the work described above, paid at the same rate. If it goes well, we move to the ongoing weekly arrangement.

• Reviewed monthly. If results and reliability are good, we continue and will discuss a rate increase after three months.

How to Apply
Start your bid with the word PARRAMATTA so we know you read this. Bids without it are deleted unread.

Then tell us:
1. Which Instagram accounts you have grown, and what happened — numbers and screenshots of Instagram Insights if you have them
2. Exactly what you would do in a 3-hour working day on our account — hour by hour
3. Roughly how many follows, likes and comments per day you think is safe, and why
4. Your hours available each week and your timezone
5. Confirm in your own words that you will not use automation and will not need our password

We are looking for one reliable person for the long term, not the cheapest bid. Please do not copy and paste a template proposal — we read every one.
