Repurpose blog content into carousels

I’m looking for a freelance content creator/copywriter to help turn existing blog content into engaging, easy-to-read social media carousels. We currently have a backlog of 50 carousels to create, with the potential for ongoing work afterwards. Please find examples of the carousels here: https://www.instagram.com/wearemaincharacters You’ll be given an existing blog post or piece of long-form content and asked to turn it into a concise social carousel. This is not a research-heavy role — the information and source content will already be provided. The skill is in identifying what matters, cutting out the fluff and turning it into copy that feels natural on social rather than simply chopping a blog post into slides. Our tone of voice is very distinct and speaks to a millenial/Gen Z female audience. Each carousel will usually be around 10–11 slides, including: - Cover/title slide - Short introductory/setup slide - Main content slides Most content slides sit at roughly 20–35 words, with approximately 200–300 words of finished copy per carousel overall. No AI usage is really important here. LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO: - Can write concise, conversational social copy - Knows how to pull the strongest points from longer content - Understands pacing across a carousel - Can follow an existing brand tone of voice - Is able to write without AT - Is comfortable working through a fairly large batch of content You won’t need to design the carousels — this role is primarily about turning the existing content into carousel-ready copy. There are approximately 50 carousels in the initial batch. I’d like to agree a fixed rate per completed carousel, rather than an hourly rate. When applying, please include: - Your rate per carousel - Any examples of social content - A little about your experience writing for social media - Your availability/capacity for a batch of around 50 Thanks!

Short-Form Video Editor for Instagram Reels

I’m looking for an experienced short-form video editor to edit Instagram Reels for my personal brand. I do **not** just need someone who can add captions and transitions. I’m looking for an editor who understands what makes people stop scrolling, keep watching and finish a Reel. Start your message saying MARIO or you'll pitch will be ignored. ### What I need You’ll be editing mainly talking-head content for Instagram Reels. The editing should improve retention through: * Strong pacing and clean cuts * Strategic text placement and emphasis * Dynamic captions that support what is being said * Pattern interrupts where appropriate * Sound effects used intentionally, not excessively * Music that supports the content without overpowering it * Zooms, crops, B-roll or visual changes where they genuinely improve attention * Removing pauses, dead space and anything that slows the Reel down * Understanding when the video needs movement and when it needs to stay visually clean My content is psychology, identity and behaviour based, so the editing needs to feel **intelligent, premium and modern**, not gimmicky or overly flashy. ### What matters most I want someone who understands **why people keep watching a Reel**. You should be able to look at a raw video and make decisions about: * Where attention is likely to drop * Which words should appear on screen * When the visual needs to change * How quickly cuts should happen * Where sound can create emphasis * How to make the first few seconds stronger * How to maintain attention without making the edit distracting I’m particularly interested in someone who actively follows current Instagram/Reels editing styles and understands short-form content performance. ### Style Think: Clean Sharp Fast enough to hold attention Premium rather than over-edited I do not want constant random animations, excessive emojis, distracting effects or captions bouncing around the screen for no reason. Every editing choice should have a purpose. ### Ongoing work I produce a high volume of short-form content, so I’m looking for someone reliable who can eventually become familiar with my editing style and turn videos around consistently. ### When applying Please send: * Examples of Instagram Reels/TikToks/short-form videos you have edited * Examples specifically showing talking-head editing * A brief explanation of how you approach retention when editing a Reel * Your price please be realistic I'm NOT paying £10 per reel. I post around 20 videos per week! * Your typical turnaround time I’m particularly interested in hearing **what you would actually do to keep someone watching a 15–30 second talking-head Reel**.

Duplicate my IONOS blog to substack - no migration

I would like to duplicate my existing IONOS blog (in Wordpress) to Substack, keeping my current site live and unchanged. The reason I want to do this is to attract more of an audience to my writing. An example of a blog post is as follows: https://heartmindbreathe.com/basic-sanity-returning-to-whats-already-here/ This is not a request for migration. Fluent English is a must, as I want to be walked through the process so that it's something I can continue to manage myself, rather than have it done for me. I anticipate this taking two or three short online sessions alongside the practical setup. Please only apply if you're comfortable explaining things clearly.

Graphic Designer & Character Animator for Children’s Brand

I'm building a new children’s entertainment and family leisure brand centred around an original cast of characters and their rainforest world. I’m looking for a talented character illustrator and/or animator who wants to become part of the project over the long term. This is not a one off illustration job. The ambition is to build a recognisable children’s brand spanning physical venues, social media, animation, stories, books, merchandise, websites, marketing, packaging and more. What already exists The brand direction and two principal characters are established, alongside a developing supporting cast and fictional rainforest world. I have a detailed brand playbook, character concepts, visual references, colour palettes, environments and substantial concept work. I need someone who can take what exists, refine it professionally, standardise it and help develop it into a consistent visual IP. This is NOT an AI generation job I already use generative AI extensively for ideation, concepts and experimentation. I am not looking for someone simply to type prompts into Midjourney, Firefly, ChatGPT or similar tools. I can already do that myself. AI can form part of your workflow, but you must bring skills beyond AI generation. You should be able to genuinely draw, design, illustrate and/or animate, and understand character construction, proportions, expressions, posing, consistency, composition, colour and visual storytelling. For animation, I need someone who understands movement, acting, timing and character performance, not simply how to make an AI image move. The work Projects could include character model sheets and turnarounds, expression and pose libraries, illustrations, social content, short animations, story illustrations, environments, marketing materials, signage, website assets, merchandise and packaging. The work will vary considerably. One project could be a polished jungle illustration; another a 15 second animation, social assets, new character expressions or merchandise artwork. Visual standard The broad visual territory is: Premium children’s picture book × modern animation × magical rainforest. The characters are expressive, dimensional and warm, with textured fur, strong silhouettes and expressive eyes. Premium, but not photorealistic. I don't want stock illustration, generic mascot design, clip art or generic children's jungle artwork. Some applications will require highly polished hero artwork. Others need simpler, reproducible versions of the characters. Everything still needs to belong to the same visual world. Character consistency is critical The characters cannot look different every time they are drawn. Proportions, anatomy, markings, colours and defining features need to remain consistent. We need proper reference material covering turnarounds, proportions, expressions, poses, movement and silhouettes. The aim is to turn the existing concepts into professionally designed, reproducible characters rather than a collection of generated images. Who I'm looking for Experience in children’s entertainment, character illustration, animation, picture books, games, mascots or entertainment IP would be particularly relevant. You don't need to do everything. An excellent illustrator who can animate would be ideal, but I'm also interested in exceptional specialists. You should understand character consistency and visual storytelling, work confidently from an established creative direction, contribute creatively, provide editable/source files and communicate reliably. Most importantly, I’m looking for someone interested in building something over time, not producing a few illustrations and disappearing. There is potential for ongoing work across illustration, animation, stories, digital content, marketing, merchandise, print and physical environments. For the right person, I want this to become a long term creative relationship. Eventually, you should know the characters well enough to recognise when something simply “doesn't look like them”. When applying Please don't send a generic copy and paste proposal. Start your response with “THE CANOPY” so I know you've read the brief. Show me your strongest relevant character/animation work and explain what you personally created. Tell me what software you use, whether you illustrate from scratch, how you maintain character consistency, your animation capabilities, availability and normal rate. If AI forms part of your workflow, explain how. I’m interested in what you bring that I cannot get by generating another AI image myself. Final work must include appropriate editable/source files, with commercial usage and IP arrangements agreed before work begins. The initial project will use existing visual material. The objective isn't to redesign the characters. It's to demonstrate that you can understand them, reproduce them consistently, refine them professionally and make them feel alive.

Draft a Short Deed of Disclosure, Warranty, and Indemnity

I require a short, simple but legally binding, standalone Deed that forces absolute transparency over the exact amount of an inheritance. Me and my ex partner are married and are about to enter into a financial/consent order. He has now disclosed a 5k inheritance which I am happy to let him keep. However, he initially failed to disclose an inheritance, having been actively advised by his parent to hide this from me, so I cannot trust his verbal word due to the prior deception. The purpose of the document is to give him a clear, formal opportunity to reflect and confirm the truth of his disclosure before we submit the Consent Order. Key Clauses and Elements to Include: Declaration of Value: A straightforward statement where he confirms that the total inheritance received or due to be received from his grandparent's estate is exactly £5,000.00. Warranty of Completeness: A legal promise that there are no planned, delayed, or deferred further payments to be made to him in connection with this Will or estate at a later date. No Side Agreements: A sworn statement confirming there are no verbal promises, informal understandings, or side arrangements with family members or executors to hold back further money until our separation is legally finalised. Right to Verify: A clause clarifying that while a copy of the Will is not being requested now, I reserve the absolute right to obtain a copy of the Will and estate accounts in the future if dishonesty is suspected. 3. Consequences of Breach Automatic Financial Penalty (Clawback): If hidden funds or delayed payments from this estate are discovered later, I will be automatically entitled to a lump-sum payment equivalent to 100% of the hidden or undeclared balance Legal Costs: A provision forcing him to fully pay all of my future legal fees and court costs if I am forced to take legal action to enforce this Deed or reopen the financial settlement due to an untrue declaration. Execution as a Deed: The document must be structured as a short Deed to be signed in the presence of an independent witness, giving it heavy legal weight without requiring an aggressive tone. Consequences: Full Indemnity for Court and Legal Fees: A robust provision forcing him to fully pay 100% of all my future legal fees, solicitor costs, and court fees if I am forced to take him to court due to an untrue declaration.

Premium 15–20 Sec TikTok/Reel for a Male-Focused AI Mentor App

I am looking for a skilled short-form video editor/creator to create one premium 15–20 second vertical TikTok/Reels video from scratch for a pre-launch mobile app called MANWRD. This is a paid test project. If the result is strong, there may be ongoing short-form video work. About the app MANWRD is a male-focused AI mentor app designed to feel like a direct, intelligent and private mentor in your pocket. It is designed around topics such as: • Discipline • Confidence • Ambition • Relationships and breakups • Fitness and habits • Difficult decisions • Setbacks • Fatherhood • Life direction The goal is NOT to make a traditional app advertisement. The video should initially feel like compelling native TikTok/Reels content that makes someone stop scrolling. The viewer should only gradually discover MANWRD. Creative direction The core concept is: “You don't need more motivation.” The video should focus on a relatable problem: A man knows what he needs to do, knows he should be doing more, but repeatedly struggles to take action. Suggested structure: Problem → Curiosity → MANWRD → Mentor response → Payoff → CTA Example opening: “You don't need more motivation.” Then create curiosity around: “You already know what you need to do. So why aren't you doing it?” The video should then naturally transition into the MANWRD interface and show the AI mentor experience. Important opening requirements The first 1–2 seconds are extremely important. DO NOT start with: • MANWRD logo • App Store screen • Generic phone mockup • “Introducing MANWRD” • Corporate advertisement visuals • Generic AI chatbot visuals The viewer should immediately think: “That's me.” or “What's this about?” Visual style We want: • Masculine • Premium • Modern • Cinematic where appropriate • Minimal • Intelligent • Emotionally relatable • Native TikTok/Reels pacing Please avoid: • Alpha-male clichés • Lamborghini/luxury clichés • Money shots • Gym clichés • Aggressive motivational edits • Cheap stock footage • Corporate SaaS style • Excessive transitions/effects • Generic AI-looking content MANWRD UI I will provide the official MANWRD logo assets and Figma/UI materials. The UI should be integrated into the story rather than simply placing a static phone screenshot on screen. Use: • Animated UI • Intelligent zooms/crops • Smooth transitions • Conversation/message emphasis • Subtle motion graphics The actual MANWRD product experience should feel like the hero of the second half of the video. Editing requirements The finished video should include: • Strong 1–2 second hook • Native TikTok/Reels pacing • Clean captions/on-screen text • Professional motion graphics • MANWRD UI integration • Music • Well-timed SFX • Clean sound mix • Strong storytelling • Premium 9:16 finish Voiceover Voiceover is optional. If you use one, it must sound: • Natural • Male • Calm • Confident • Intelligent • Controlled Please avoid aggressive motivational/TikTok AI voices. Ending The final brand reveal can use: MANWRD Your mentor. In your pocket. The app is pre-launch, so do NOT use fake App Store/Google Play buttons or “Download now.” What I need from you Please apply only if you have experience creating short-form TikTok/Reels content, particularly videos that combine storytelling, motion graphics, captions, sound design and product/UI footage. When applying, please send: Your 2–3 most relevant short-form video examples. Examples where you created the editing/motion/storytelling yourself. Your fixed price for this 15–20 second video. Your turnaround time. Confirm that you can work from the creative direction above and use supplied MANWRD UI/assets. Tell me briefly how you would approach the first 2 seconds. I am looking for someone who can demonstrate creative thinking as well as editing ability, not someone who simply puts footage together. Budget Target budget: $15–$30 for the initial paid test. If the result is strong, I am open to discussing additional videos and ongoing work. Deliverable One finished: 15–20 second 9:16 vertical TikTok/Instagram Reels video Final export should be clean, polished and ready for social media.

U.S. High School Teacher for Short Cybersecurity Classroom Pilot

I am seeking an active, certified U.S. secondary school teacher (ideally teaching Grade 9–12 Computer Science, Technology, Business, Career Education, or Digital Literacy) to run a brief, anonymous classroom efficacy pilot. The pilot measures how effectively my free platform, GamingForLearning.com, helps students learn core cybersecurity skills. I am collecting this data for genuine educational evaluation. What I am asking you to do Administrative approval: Secure any permission you need from your school to run a short digital-literacy lesson (I provide a ready-to-use teacher guide). Pre-assessment: Give my short (about 10-minute) cybersecurity questionnaire to your class (roughly 25 students) before they start. The activities: Have students work through three short, free, browser-based activities — phishing awareness, cryptography, and incident response — at their own pace. No logins, no installs. Post-assessment: Give the identical questionnaire again afterwards to measure the aggregate before-and-after change. Report: Calculate your classroom-level average scores (for example, "class average rose from X to Y") and enter them on the one-page report template I provide, on your official school letterhead. No individual student data (FERPA) I do not want or accept any individual student data, names, or student IDs. You keep all individual answer sheets in your own records. You report only the final group-level averages. What I most need Your honest results, whatever they show. If the scores do not move much, that is genuinely useful — I am paying for your professional time and honest judgment, not for a positive result. Verification (required before the pilot begins) To confirm this is a genuine U.S. classroom, once we connect I will ask you to: Confirm your current U.S. school and teaching role, and provide proof of an active K-12 teaching license or current school employment. Deliver the final aggregate report scanned on your official school letterhead. Confirm your results through your official school channels. If you are a currently practising U.S. secondary teacher with a live class you could run this with in the next few weeks, please apply and I will follow up with the details.

I'll walk you through the scripts and the CRM before you start. What I need from you: 125 dials, with every dial logged in Capsule with an outcome. Each conversation noted with what was said and tagged as a lead or not a lead. I'm exploring AI to assist with this. Plus a short end-of-day verbal summary with me.
