21 days ago15 proposalsRemoteCreating an Internal Answer Bank from Past Customer Responses
I have answered a large number of customer questions over time via email and chat, and I now have a big archive of past responses. These responses are stored in different places (email threads, chat exports, copied documents) and are not organized in any consistent way. When a similar question comes up, I often waste time searching for the right past response or rewriting something from scratch. I need someone to go through this archive of past customer responses and turn it into a structured internal answer bank that I can use to reply faster and more consistently. You will receive: A set of exported or copied past responses (email threads, chat logs, or documents) covering common customer questions. A short list from me of the main question categories I deal with (for example: billing, account access, product usage, returns/refunds, technical issues). Your work will include: Reading through all the past responses I provide and identifying the core question each one answers. Grouping responses by question category and sub‑topic (for example: “Billing – Payment failed”, “Account – Password reset”, “Product – How to use feature X”). For each distinct question, creating a standardized entry in the answer bank that includes: A clear, consistent question title (e.g., “How do I reset my password?”). A cleaned‑up version of the best response (removing customer‑specific details, keeping the general explanation and steps). Any useful variations (for example: a short version for chat, a more detailed version for email). Ensuring that wording, tone, and formatting are consistent across all entries (for example: same greeting style, same way of listing steps, same level of detail). Organizing the answer bank so it’s easy to search, either as a structured document with clear headings or as a simple table/spreadsheet with columns for Category, Question, and Answer. Delivering the final answer bank as a single file (Google Doc, Word file, or Google Sheet), plus a simple index or table of contents showing all categories and questions covered. The final answer bank should allow me to: Quickly find a relevant past answer when a common question comes in. See at a glance which category a question belongs to. Use consistent, pre‑approved wording instead of rewriting responses every time. This answer bank is only for my own internal use to improve my response speed and consistency. It will not be shared directly with customers, posted on any website, or used as a public help center. If you have experience working with customer support content, FAQ creation, or organizing past responses into reusable resources, please send a message that includes: A brief description of any similar work you’ve done with support responses, FAQs, or knowledge bases. How you usually approach grouping questions and standardizing answers for internal use.

21 days ago24 proposalsRemoteVideo editor needed for reels
Video Editor — Editing Style & Ongoing Content Brief I’m looking for a video editor to work with on an ongoing basis, primarily creating short-form content for social media. I’ve included the Instagram page below as a reference for the editing style I’m looking for: What I particularly like about their content is the overall editing style, pacing, transitions, visual effects, colour grading, text animation, sound design, and polished feel. I’m looking for someone who can replicate that overall style as closely as possible rather than simply creating a generic “Reels/TikTok” edit. The main adaptation The one major difference is that I want to incorporate a talking-head video in the corner of the screen throughout the content. The primary footage/content would remain the focus, with my talking head appearing as a secondary element — positioned and styled in a way that feels natural within the reference editing style. I’d want the talking-head element to be integrated into the edit rather than simply looking like a webcam overlay. Things such as framing, masking, borders, shadows, movement, positioning and transitions should all feel intentional and consistent with the overall visual style. What I’m looking for Ideally, you would be comfortable with: * Fast-paced, engaging short-form editing * Replicating the reference page’s overall editing language * Dynamic cuts and transitions * Motion graphics and animated text * Clean typography and on-screen captions * Strong sound design and music selection * Professional colour grading * Subtle visual effects where appropriate * Zooms, punch-ins and movement to maintain attention * Integrating a talking-head element into the composition * Creating edits that feel polished and premium rather than templated Content volume I’m looking to publish approximately 3–4 videos per week, so I’m interested in building an ongoing working relationship with the right editor rather than hiring for a one-off project. Consistency is important to me, so once we establish the visual style, I’d want that style carried across every video. What I’d like to know from you Before moving forward, I’d like to know: 1. Is this style something you’re capable of replicating? 2. How closely can you match the editing, pacing, colour grading, transitions, text animation and overall visual style of the reference? 3. Are you comfortable incorporating a talking head in the corner while maintaining the same polished aesthetic? 4. Can you provide examples of similar work you’ve done? 5. What would your pricing look like for 3–4 videos per week? 6. What would your typical turnaround time be? 7. Would you be comfortable doing an initial test edit so I can see how closely you can match the reference? The most important thing for me is quality and consistency. I’m not necessarily looking for the cheapest editor — I’m looking for someone who can genuinely achieve the visual standard I’m after and become a reliable long-term editing partner.

I need a short 15-second clip in which the main actor’s face is convincingly replaced using Kling AI Motion Control.
