Freelance Book Growth Strategist / Publicist — 30-Day Paid Test

# Freelance Book Growth Strategist / Publicist — 30-Day Paid Test I’m looking for a **freelance book marketer, publicist, or growth strategist** who can help me move more copies of my leadership book, ***Grit, Grease, and Grace: Leadership Forged in the Trenches.*** This is **not a full-time role**, and I’m not looking for an agency or someone wanting a huge retainer before proving they can create results. I’m looking for someone who can **find opportunities, make contacts, pitch, follow up, open doors, and help create real book sales.** ## The Goal Long term: **1,000,000 copies sold.** First major milestone: **Create enough demand that I need to order another 10,000 copies within the next six months.** We’re not there yet. Right now I want to find the channels that can actually move books and start building momentum. ## About the Book *Grit, Grease, and Grace* is a leadership book based on more than 20 years of real-world experience building businesses, leading teams, making mistakes, and learning leadership in the trenches. The audience overlaps with: * Business owners * Entrepreneurs * Leadership teams * Blue-collar industries * Transportation * Construction * Oil & gas * Churches and men’s groups * Faith-based business audiences I also own multiple businesses, speak professionally, teach, and host events, so there are opportunities well beyond simply selling books one at a time on Amazon. ## What I Want You to Pursue I’m especially interested in: * Bulk corporate book sales * Conferences and associations * Churches and men’s groups * Podcast interviews * Media opportunities * Speaking opportunities * Influencer partnerships * Leadership programs and masterminds * Strategic partnerships * Creative distribution opportunities I do **not** need someone to hand me a marketing plan. I want someone who will **actually pursue the opportunities.** ## 30-Day Paid Test I want to start with a **$500 fixed-price 30-day test project.** I’m not expecting 10,000 books to sell in 30 days. I am expecting to see **traction**: * Quality conversations started * Podcast interviews booked * Bulk-sale opportunities developed * Partnerships being pursued * Speaking or media opportunities * Actual sales * A pipeline we can continue building If you produce results, I’m open to increasing the budget, extending the relationship, and adding performance-based compensation. ## Please Don’t Apply If Your Main Strategy Is * Social media posting * Canva graphics * Generic ads * Fake reviews or followers * Amazon bestseller gimmicks * Giving me a strategy document and expecting my team to do everything ## To Apply Start your proposal with: **10,000 BOOKS** Then answer these questions: 1. What books, authors, businesses, or products have you helped grow? 2. What measurable results did you produce? 3. Have you secured bulk sales, podcasts, media, partnerships, or speaking opportunities? Give examples. 4. What are the **first five things you would do** to grow *Grit, Grease, and Grace*? 5. What would you personally accomplish during the **$500 / 30-day test**? 6. What would you need from me or my team? 7. What results should I expect to see at the end of 30 days? I’m looking for someone **creative, persistent, resourceful, and results-driven.** The long-term goal is huge. For now, **show me you can move the needle.**
