Description
I’m looking for someone to support my Instagram account with regular engagement and initial DM outreach.
This is NOT a high-volume/spammy cold-DM role. My brand is very personal, friendly and relatable, so I’m looking for someone who understands how to start genuine conversations and can learn my tone of voice.
The role will include:
* Engaging with relevant accounts before and after my posts go live
* Identifying potential followers/leads who genuinely fit my audience
* Sending initial DMs to appropriate new followers, engagers and potential leads
* Starting friendly, natural conversations without immediately trying to sell
* Following up appropriately where needed
* Keeping a simple record of activity/conversations
* Handing conversations over to me when they become coaching/enquiry related
* Working alongside my existing social-media assistant
The right person
Natural, conversational British English is extremely important to the role. My audience is predominantly UK-based busy mums, and I don’t want messages to feel scripted, overly salesy or like generic outreach.
Ideally you’ll have experience with Instagram engagement/DM setting, personal brands, online coaches, fitness/wellness or female-focused businesses.
UK-based applicants are preferred, although I’ll consider applicants elsewhere with excellent written English and a strong understanding of a UK audience.
I’d initially like to trial this for approximately 3–5 hours per week for 4 weeks, with the potential for ongoing work if it’s a good fit.
When applying, please tell me:
* Your relevant experience
* Any similar accounts/businesses you’ve worked with
* Your hourly rate and availability
* Where you’re based
And most importantly, please include this short test:
Imagine a woman in her late 30s/40s has just followed my fitness account. She’s a mum, occasionally goes to the gym and her profile shows normal family life, work, holidays etc.
Write the first DM you would send her from my account.
Please put your example DM at the TOP of your application. I’m deliberately not providing a script because I’d like to see how you naturally communicate.
