Marketing & Strategy for Launching Membership Programme
Membership Launch Specialist — Online Courses & Communities (UK Hours) About us We're a UK-based, people-first business coaching and skills platform built for small business owners. Our membership combines live coaching, online courses, community and a proprietary smart business app — all at an affordable monthly price. Think of us as a trusted business partner in your pocket, not another tool. We're live, we're trading, and we're ready to grow. We need the right person to help us find our first 100 members — and beyond. What we're looking for An experienced membership and online course launch specialist who has done this before — multiple times, with real results to show for it. You'll know the names Stu McLaren and Amy Porterfield. You'll have strong opinions about what works and what doesn't. You'll be comfortable owning both the strategy and the execution. This is not a role for someone who has read about membership launches. We need someone who has run them. What you'll do You'll take ownership of our membership launch — from strategy through to sign-ups. That includes: Reviewing our current funnel, messaging and positioning and identifying gaps. Building and executing a launch plan designed to convert our first 100 members. Running or overseeing paid and organic acquisition across the right channels. Managing email sequences, landing pages and conversion optimisation. Reporting clearly on what's working, what isn't, and what we're changing. You'll work directly with the founders. No layers, no committees. Fast decisions and real collaboration. Must-haves Proven experience launching online membership programmes or course communities — not just marketing generally. A track record you can point to: real member numbers, real conversion rates, real results. Familiarity with the membership industry — Stu McLaren, Amy Porterfield, the Membership Guys — you know the ecosystem. Full-stack capability: you can lead strategy and get into implementation. Excellent written and spoken English. Available to work within UK business hours (GMT/BST). Nice to haves Experience with small business, coaching or B2B audiences. Familiarity with AI tools and how to use them in a marketing workflow. Experience with webinar-led funnels as a conversion mechanism. How to apply We will only consider applications that include the following: Two or three examples of membership or course launches you have personally worked on. For each: the platform or product, your specific role, the number of members acquired, and the key tactics that drove results. A brief note on what didn't work in one of those launches and what you learned. A short paragraph on how you would approach finding our first 100 members for a UK-based small business coaching and skills membership — what would your first 30 days look like? Applications without this information will not be reviewed. The opportunity This starts as a project focused on our first 100 members. If the fit is right and results follow, this becomes a longer-term and potentially full-time engagement. We're building something with genuine long-term potential — and we want the right people growing with us.

Developer to test & harden a local-first automation CLI (paid)
We're looking for a developer (ideally a few) to help test and improve RailCall, a local-first, developer-grade automation tool. This is real paid work, broken into small fixed-price tasks. Start with one; if it's a good fit, there's a steady stream of more. About the tool (so you can scope your proposal accurately): RailCall runs on your own machine. You describe an automation in plain English and it builds a real, governed workflow that runs locally - not in a vendor cloud. Nothing executes until you approve it (dry-run by default), and every run is sealed with a signed receipt you can verify offline. Keys, data and logs stay on your machine. There's a free tier (500 flows/month, no card) so you can install and start straight away. - Site: https://railcall.ai - Docs: https://railcall.ai/docs.html - Install (macOS/Linux): curl -fsSL https://railcall.ai/install.sh | bash - then run: railcall studio The tasks we're paying for (fixed price, per accepted deliverable): 1. A reproducible bug report or actionable feedback - approx £8 each. Accepted when we can reproduce the issue from your write-up (clear steps, expected vs actual, environment) or directly act on the feedback. 2. A shipped fix, or a genuinely useful workflow you've built - approx £20 each. Accepted when the fix is verified working, or the workflow runs and you supply its signed receipt (via "railcall verify"). 3. A standout build, a written how-to guide, or a short demo video - approx £40 each. Accepted when it's clear, accurate, and something we'd be happy to share with other developers. Every milestone is agreed, awarded and paid through PeoplePerHour. These are paid tasks - not spec work, not a free contest. What we're after: - Comfortable on the command line, with git, and installing a CLI on macOS or Linux - Can write a clear, reproducible report (steps, expected vs actual, environment) - Bonus: experience with MCP, agent tooling, or workflow automation How to propose: Send a proposal here on PeoplePerHour. Tell us which task you'd like to start with, a rough delivery timeline, and anything relevant you've built before. We agree the milestone, award it, and release payment on delivery through PPH. Reliable contributors will be first in line for more of the same work - this is ongoing, and the longer-term arrangement is still taking shape, so no promises beyond the paid tasks named above.
