Posted last month

Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for a reliable virtual assistant to help us generate qualified prospects for Aurum, an AI-finance and digital-asset platform with an optional affiliate program. This role is ideal for someone who already understands lead generation, direct-message outreach, appointment setting, affiliate marketing, crypto, fintech, Web3, or online business. We are beginning with a small paid trial. Candidates who consistently generate legitimate prospects may receive ongoing work. There may also be an optional longer-term opportunity for the right person to join the Aurum affiliate platform and begin building their own customer and affiliate base. This is completely optional and separate from the paid VA position. You are not required to join Aurum, fund an account, purchase anything, or pay any fee to perform this job or receive payment for your work. The Bigger Opportunity We would ideally like to work with someone who is interested in more than completing short-term VA tasks. The initial role is paid lead generation for our team. However, after demonstrating professionalism, consistency, and an understanding of the platform, a successful VA may choose to become an Aurum affiliate and begin generating prospects through their own referral relationship. This could allow the person to participate in Aurum’s official affiliate compensation program rather than relying only on per-lead VA payments. However: Joining the affiliate program is optional. Affiliate income is not guaranteed. Results depend on individual effort, ability, market conditions, and other factors. No specific income level or result is promised. Candidates should conduct their own research before deciding whether to participate. The paid VA role does not require any personal funding. We are looking for someone who can first prove that they know how to generate quality conversations and who may eventually want to build something of their own. Initial Paid Trial The initial Upwork project is: $25 for 25 approved leads Each approved lead must include: Full name Valid email address Valid phone number Genuine interest in receiving information about Aurum Permission for our team to contact them Screenshot proof of the conversation Our team must be able to reach the prospect and have a legitimate conversation with them. Providing a random name, scraped email address, purchased contact list, or unverified phone number does not qualify. Additional Performance Bonuses In addition to the $25 trial milestone, performance bonuses may be available. Attended Appointment — $1 You may earn an additional $1 when your prospect: Books an approved appointment Attends the appointment, Zoom presentation, or introductory call Participates in a meaningful conversation with our team A calendar booking alone does not qualify. The prospect must actually attend. Verified Funded Account — $10 You may earn an additional $10 when your prospect: Registers through the correct referral process Pays the required $20 annual platform fee Funds their account with at least $100 Is verified as a legitimate new member The $10 bonus is fixed regardless of how much the prospect funds. You do not receive a larger bonus when someone funds a larger amount. You must never pressure anyone to join, fund an account, or use money they cannot afford to risk. Your Responsibilities You will be responsible for: Researching appropriate prospects Sending personalized outreach messages Beginning genuine conversations Identifying people who are interested in learning more Collecting the prospect’s name, email address, and phone number Confirming that the person agrees to be contacted Taking screenshot proof of the conversation Entering lead information into our submission system Helping interested prospects book an appointment Following up professionally when appropriate Providing accurate daily updates Following all approved messaging and compliance guidelines This is not a mass-scraping or list-building project. We are looking for genuine conversations with real people. Who You Will Contact Good prospects may include people interested in or involved with: Cryptocurrency Trading Fintech Web3 AI-powered financial tools Affiliate marketing CPA marketing Online business Investing education Precious metals Alternative assets Entrepreneurship Financial education Additional income opportunities Potential outreach targets may include: Crypto influencers YouTube creators Telegram community owners Discord community owners Newsletter publishers Affiliate marketers CPA marketers Web3 marketers Trading educators Online entrepreneurs Financial-content creators People already interested in crypto or digital finance What Qualifies as an Approved Lead? A lead may be approved when: The person is real The prospect expresses genuine interest The prospect voluntarily provides their information The name, email, and phone number are valid The prospect agrees to be contacted The prospect is relevant to the offer The person is not already in our database Screenshot proof is provided The screenshot matches the submitted information Our team is able to contact and speak with the prospect A lead may be rejected when: The contact information is fake The phone number or email address does not work The prospect did not agree to be contacted The lead was purchased or scraped The prospect is already in our database The same lead is submitted more than once The screenshot is missing or altered The conversation was fabricated The prospect denies requesting information The prospect has no genuine interest Screenshot Requirements Every submitted lead must include screenshot proof showing: The prospect’s name or username Your outreach message The prospect’s expression of interest The prospect providing their contact details The prospect agreeing to receive more information or be contacted Screenshots may not be edited in a way that changes the meaning of the conversation. Fake leads, staged conversations, duplicate submissions, or altered screenshots will result in rejection and possible termination of the contract. Communication Rules You must communicate professionally and honestly. You must never: Promise guaranteed income Promise guaranteed trading profits Claim that Aurum is risk-free Quote guaranteed future returns Claim that someone will become wealthy Recommend how much a person should fund Pressure someone to fund an account Tell someone to borrow money Tell someone to use rent, bill, or emergency money Provide financial, tax, or legal advice Make unsupported regulatory claims Create false urgency Misrepresent your relationship with Aurum Continue contacting someone who asks you to stop Use fake accounts or fabricated conversations Submit purchased or scraped leads Aurum involves digital assets and financial tools that carry risk. Results are not guaranteed, and past performance does not guarantee future results. Your role is to generate interest, collect permission-based contact information, and arrange conversations. You are not responsible for providing financial advice. Ideal Candidate The ideal candidate: Has lead-generation or appointment-setting experience Communicates clearly in written English Can personalize outreach messages Understands the difference between a qualified prospect and a random contact Is familiar with crypto, fintech, Web3, affiliate marketing, or online business Can follow detailed instructions Is organized and accurate Is comfortable using a CRM or lead-submission form Can provide screenshots and documentation Is honest about results Responds reliably Is interested in ongoing work May eventually be interested in building their own affiliate business Experience with the following is helpful: GoHighLevel Telegram outreach Instagram outreach X outreach LinkedIn outreach Facebook Groups Discord Crypto communities Affiliate recruitment Appointment setting CRM management How to Apply Please begin your proposal with: QUALIFIED LEADS ONLY Then answer the following questions: How many years of lead-generation or appointment-setting experience do you have? Which platforms do you normally use for prospecting? Have you previously worked in crypto, fintech, Web3, affiliate marketing, or online business? Have you used GoHighLevel or another CRM? How would you confirm that a prospect genuinely agreed to be contacted? How would you prevent duplicate or fake leads? Approximately how many personalized conversations can you start each day? Are you comfortable with milestone and performance-based compensation? Would you potentially be interested in learning how to build your own affiliate business after completing the initial VA trial? Write one short outreach message you would send to a crypto influencer or affiliate marketer. Applications that do not include the required phrase or answer the questions may not be reviewed. Long-Term Potential This position may become ongoing for candidates who consistently generate: Valid prospects Genuine conversations Accurate contact information Attended appointments Proper documentation Professional outreach Strong follow-up The strongest candidates may also be given additional training, marketing resources, scripts, funnel access, and guidance. Our goal is to find people who can first succeed as paid lead-generation VAs and who may eventually choose to build their own independent affiliate activity. There are no guaranteed results. However, someone who learns the system, develops lead-generation skills, and builds consistently may have the opportunity to earn beyond basic VA compensation through the official Aurum affiliate program. Quality, honesty, compliance, and professionalism are the most important parts of this position.
