Social Media Management for Author Launch

Posted2 hours ago
am an independent author preparing for the upcoming retail launch of a new backstage memoir. I am looking for a proactive Virtual Assistant / Social Media Manager for a two-week paid trial.
Trial compensation: $150 USD fixed price for approximately 15 total hours over two weeks, plus a $2 USD gross bonus for every paid ebook sold during the trial period, regardless of sales source or attribution.
Your primary responsibility will be managing and growing four dedicated author/book social-media accounts that have already been created:
• Facebook
• Instagram
• TikTok
• YouTube
You will also help actively promote and support an existing Kickstarter campaign during the trial period.
Content is already available through my paid Zeely account. I need someone who can take available content and actually put it to work: schedule and publish posts, adapt captions for different platforms, respond appropriately to routine comments, encourage conversation and engagement, suggest polls/questions/interactive posts, and help these new accounts become active communities rather than simply advertising feeds.
For Kickstarter, I need consistent social promotion, campaign awareness, engagement and attention during this important pre-launch period.
This is not a website-design position, podcast-outreach position, or content-creation-from-scratch position. I want the trial focused on social media, community engagement and Kickstarter.
I want a short written progress report after each workday explaining what was posted, engagement/activity, Kickstarter actions, anything that appears to be working particularly well, and anything requiring my personal attention.
Excellent written English is important. Most communication with me will be through written messages rather than telephone calls.
If the two-week trial goes well, I am interested in developing this into an ongoing part-time relationship.
To apply, please begin your proposal with the words CURTAIN UP so I know you read the entire description. Tell me which of these platforms you have personally managed, describe your experience with community engagement, and tell me whether you have any Kickstarter/crowdfunding experience.
Also include one example of how you would respond publicly if a reader commented: “This book sounds hilarious. I need to know what happened backstage!”
Please bid $150 USD if you accept the two-week trial terms.
