Community-Based Lead Generation & Market Research (NJ/PA/MI)

Community-Based Lead Generation & Market Research (NJ/PA/MI) I run a professional consulting business and I'm looking for a reliable, thoughtful freelancer to help build a compliant, community-driven lead generation system. This is organic community research and outreach — NOT paid ads, cold calling, mass-DMing, or spam. Doing this the right way matters to me, and the right person will be comfortable with that as a non-negotiable. What you'd do: Research where my target audience gathers online — specific subreddits, Facebook groups, and forums, focused on New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Michigan Identify each community's rules around participation and self-promotion, so we never get flagged or banned Develop natural, non-spammy outreach and messaging angles (I approve all messaging before anything goes live) Test different approaches and report what's actually working Track response rates and lead quality, not just volume Help me build a repeatable, sustainable lead-generation system over time My audience: financially comfortable, detail-oriented adults in NJ, PA, or MI who are looking for a guided, professional service. I'll share full specifics with serious candidates. The business operates in a regulated industry with strict marketing rules — so compliance and good judgment matter more than aggressive volume. Hard requirements — please only apply if you genuinely align with these: No spam, no fake accounts, no fabricated reviews or testimonials No mass-DM automation or bot activity Follow every community's rules without exception Honest, compliant messaging only — no misleading or exaggerated claims, no income promises Comfortable working within a regulated industry's marketing constraints (details shared privately) Structure: I want to start with a paid 1–2 week trial with clearly defined deliverables, then move to an ongoing monthly retainer plus a per-qualified-lead bonus if it's a good fit. This could become a long-term, central role. In your proposal, please include: Your relevant experience — especially organic/community-based growth, not just paid ads A specific, realistic plan for your first 7 days Examples of similar work, if you have them Your pricing for the trial and your ongoing rate What you'd need from me to get started I'm looking for someone thoughtful, consistent, and practical — not someone who promises "unlimited leads." A genuine, sustainable approach is what I want.
