Posted 4 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

I run a multi-city in-home music lessons business with verified Google Business Profiles in 12 US cities. I'm looking for an experienced outreach specialist to help build our local authority through two channels: getting featured in roundup and listicle articles, and distributing press releases to legitimate third-party wire services. What you'll do: Prospect and identify existing roundup articles ranking for terms like "best music lessons in [city]," "top piano teachers in [city]," and similar. Reach out to site owners and editors to get my business added or featured. Distribute press releases we provide to reputable third-party wire services with real domain authority and legitimate pickup potential. Track all outreach, placements, and distributions in a clean reporting sheet. Flag new roundup and guest post opportunities as you find them. You're a fit if you: Have proven experience securing placements in local listicle and roundup articles. Have distributed press releases through legitimate services like PR Newswire, EIN Presswire, or similar, and can show real pickup examples. Are organized, self-directed, and communicate proactively. Know the difference between a real citation and a ghost site placement. Scope: 12 cities to start. Strong performance opens the door to 25+ markets. To apply, please share: Two to three examples of roundup or listicle placements you've secured. One to two examples of press release distributions with real third-party pickup. Your rate structure, whether hourly, per placement, or per distribution. Your preferred wire services and why.
