Email Copywriter for Warm Leads — Paid Test + Performance Bonus

Posted 6 days ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for a sharp, conversion-focused email copywriter to help us write and optimize email campaigns for a large list of warm inbound creator leads. We currently have a database of 6,000+ people who have already shown interest in working with us, asking questions, getting started, or learning how to grow their online presence. A small percentage are already established creators who may be a fit for higher-level partnership conversations. This is not a generic newsletter role. We need someone who understands persuasive email copy, follow-up sequences, objection handling, and how to turn warm leads into replies, calls, and qualified opportunities. What You’ll Be Doing -You will help create and improve email campaigns that: -Re-engage old warm leads -Turn curious leads into booked calls -Educate new creators on how we can help them grow -Follow up with people who showed interest but never took action -Segment messaging based on lead quality and intent -Improve reply rates, booked-call rates, and overall conversion -Initial Paid Test Project For the first project, we will provide background on the offer, lead types, and current messaging. Your task will be to create: -1 main reactivation email -1 short follow-up email -1 objection-handling follow-up -1 higher-intent email for more established creators Suggested subject lines for each email A short explanation of your strategy behind the sequence If the test goes well, this can turn into an ongoing role where you help write, test, and optimize multiple email sequences across the full lead database. Who We’re Looking For The ideal person has experience with: -Email copywriting -Direct-response copy -Creator economy, influencer, coaching, agency, SaaS, or online business offers -Warm lead reactivation campaigns -Appointment-setting email funnels -High-ticket or partnership-based offers -Writing emails that sound human, not robotic or overly corporate -Improving campaigns based on reply rate and booked-call data -You do not need to be a designer. This is primarily a copywriting and strategy role. Important: We Care About Results We are not looking for pretty writing only. We want someone who understands conversion. You should be able to think through: -Why someone would reply -Why someone would ignore the email -What objections they may have -What angle makes the offer feel relevant -How to make the message feel personal without sounding fake -How to create curiosity without overpromising Compensation Structure This role starts with a paid fixed-price test project. For ongoing work, compensation may include: -Base pay per email sequence or campaign -Performance bonuses for campaigns that generate qualified replies, booked calls, or successful partnerships -Long-term monthly work for someone who proves they can consistently improve results -Strong performers can earn significantly more over time as we scale campaigns. We are looking for someone who wants to build a long-term partnership, not just complete a one-time project. This role will start with a paid starter project and performance-based bonuses so we can make sure it is a strong fit on both sides. If the partnership goes well and you are consistently producing results, we are open to adding a more stable base compensation structure after 3–6 months of successful work, while still keeping performance bonuses in place. Our goal is to work with people who are hungry, reliable, and results-driven. If you perform well, communicate clearly, and help generate real opportunities, there is room to grow with us long term. Please include: -Examples of email campaigns, outreach copy, or direct-response copy you’ve written -Your experience with warm lead reactivation or appointment-setting campaigns -A short explanation of how you would approach a 6,000-person warm lead list Any results you’ve helped generate, such as reply rates, booked calls, sales calls, conversions, or revenue Please do not send a generic AI-written proposal. We are looking for someone who can think strategically, write clearly, and improve based on real campaign performance. Best Fit This is a great fit for someone who enjoys performance-based copywriting and wants a long-term opportunity with upside based on results.
