Long-Term Reddit Lead Generation VA — Base Pay + Commission Per Closed Client

Please read this entire post before applying. Applications that skip the instructions at the bottom will be rejected without reply. ABOUT US We are a US-based SEO and digital marketing agency with 31 years in business and a perfect 5-star reputation across Google, Clutch, AgencySpotter, and every other major review platform. We help small businesses in Los Angeles get clients through AI-driven SEO. Our growth strategy doesn't rely on paid ads. It relies on showing up — calmly, helpfully, and early — in the exact moments when business owners are publicly asking for help on Reddit and Facebook. The system works. It's fully documented. What we need is the right person to run it daily, long-term. THE ROLE You will be our early-warning system on Reddit and Facebook. Your job is to find business owners who are publicly struggling with traffic, leads, or marketing — and alert us fast so we can be the first thoughtful reply. You will: * Monitor 8 specific subreddits + 15–20 Facebook groups daily * Run keyword alerts through F5Bot and Google Alerts * Filter posts using our defined "good lead" criteria * Draft replies using our prompt system and 11 pre-built scripts * Get every lead-gen reply approved by us before posting * Maintain a daily Google Sheet log with full activity tracking * Send an end-of-day summary every evening * Run a weekly account health check You will NOT: * Sell, pitch, or close (we handle that) * Improvise scripts (we have them — they work) * Touch account settings, email, or password * DM anyone who hasn't asked first * Work without a daily log We've documented the entire system in a clear 18-page SOP that we share with shortlisted candidates. It's structured into 4 sections (Safety, Strategy, Daily Execution, Scripts) with red-flagged warnings on the rules that matter most. Nothing is left to guesswork — there are 11 ready-to-use reply scripts, a 14-day account warm-up protocol, comment pacing limits, and a weekly shadowban check. Your job is to execute this system precisely, not invent your own. COMPENSATION — THE PART THAT MATTERS This is structured so that the better you perform, the more you earn. We want a partner, not a button-pusher. * Base pay: $6–$7/hour (exact rate based on experience) * Commission: $100 per closed client that came from a lead YOU surfaced This is the part most VA roles don't offer. Here's why we can: * We've been in business for 31 years. We're not a startup that might disappear next month. * Our 5-star reputation across every review platform means clients we close stay closed. * Our average client is worth thousands of dollars to us. Paying you a meaningful slice for sourcing that lead is fair — and it aligns our incentives perfectly. * We'll show you the closed-client log monthly so you can see exactly which leads converted and when commission is due. "Closed" means: the lead was first surfaced by you in the daily log, the client signed a service agreement with us, AND made their first payment. Commission is paid in the next pay cycle after that payment clears. This is in writing in your offer letter. Realistic earning example: Base of $6/hour × 6 hours/week = $144/week (~$620/month). Add 3–4 closed clients/month at $100 commission = $300–400 extra. Total: $920–1,020/month for a part-time role you can do from anywhere. After 60 days of clean execution: base pay raise After 6 months: expanded responsibilities — drafting without approval, handling initial DM responses, training the next VA we hire Hours: ~40–50 minutes of focused work per day, plus the daily summary. Roughly 5–8 hours/week total. Schedule: flexible, but you must check alerts at least 3 times per day (morning, afternoon, evening Pacific Time) This is intentionally a LONG-TERM role. We're not looking for someone to do this for 2 months. We're looking for someone who wants to grow with us over the next 2+ years. THE NON-NEGOTIABLE: ACCOUNT SAFETY Our Reddit account is 12 years old. That age is our biggest asset and CANNOT be replaced if it gets banned. The right candidate understands that protecting the account is more important than producing leads. We measure performance on safety first, lead quality second, volume last. If "follow the rules exactly, even when it's slow" sounds boring — this role isn't for you. If that kind of discipline is something you take pride in — keep reading. WHO YOU ARE (MUST-HAVES) * Your written English must read like a native speaker — Reddit users smell non-native marketing copy in two seconds. * 2+ years of VA, community management, or customer support experience — ideally with at least one client where account safety or strict SOPs mattered * Active on Reddit personally — you have an account, you understand how subreddits work. We will ask you to show us your Reddit history. If you've never used Reddit, this role is not for you. * You follow detailed SOPs without skipping steps, even when no one is watching * You communicate proactively — if something looks weird, you tell us immediately, not at the end of the week * You can commit to daily work, including weekends (this is a 40–50 min/day role, not a 9-to-5) * You are reliable. If you're going on vacation, you tell us 2 weeks ahead. If you're sick, you tell us that morning. You don't ghost. WHO YOU ARE NOT Please do not apply if: * You are juggling 5+ other clients and this is just one more * You "do a bit of everything" — social media, design, data entry, lead gen. We want a specialist obsessed with this one thing. * You think Reddit is "just like Twitter or Facebook" (it isn't, and that misunderstanding will cost us the account) * You want to "improve" our system in week one. We've spent months building it. First learn it cold, then suggest improvements with data. * You want to graduate to a "real" job in 3 months — we want long-term commitment * You see commission-based pay as risky. If you don't trust the agency's reputation enough to bet on closing — please don't apply. BONUS POINTS (NOT REQUIRED) * Experience with F5Bot, TrackReddit, or similar keyword monitoring tools * Familiarity with SEO terminology (you don't need to be an expert — you need to understand the conversations you're reading) * Previous work for a US-based agency * Time zone overlapping at least 4 hours with Pacific Time HOW WE'LL EVALUATE YOU 1. Application screening — we read every cover letter. Generic applications are auto-rejected. 2. Short written exercise (unpaid, ~20 minutes) — you'll receive 3 real Reddit posts and draft replies using guidance we provide. We're testing tone, not knowledge. 3. 30-minute video interview in English (and Spanish if applicable) — we want to see how you think, hear how you speak, and confirm fluency. 4. Paid 1-week trial at the agreed base rate — full role, close supervision. End of week 1, both sides decide. 5. 60-day probation at base rate, then the raise + commission structure kicks in fully. We're hiring slowly because we plan to keep this person for years. Expect the process to take 2–3 weeks. We will share the agency name privately with shortlisted candidates so you can verify, but you can also ask in your cover letter and we'll send it. HOW TO APPLY — READ CAREFULLY Applications that don't follow these exact instructions will be rejected without reply. This is the first filter. In your cover letter, include the following — in this order: 1. Start your cover letter with the word "Calm." (one word, then a line break). This confirms you read the post. 2. Tell us about a time you followed a strict SOP for a client. What was the SOP? How did you avoid the temptation to deviate? (3–5 sentences) 3. Share your Reddit username (or a screenshot of your account age and karma). If you don't have a Reddit account, this role is not for you. 4. Answer this: "What's the difference between being helpful on Reddit and being promotional? Give an example of each." (3–5 sentences — we're testing instinct, not knowledge) 5. Your country, time zone, and the 3 daily windows you'd check alerts. 6. Your English level (native, fluent, conversational). Be honest — we'll verify in the interview. 7. One question for us. Anything. Just one — we want to see what you're curious about. Do NOT: * Send a generic "I'm a hardworking VA with 10 years of experience" cover letter * Attach a 4-page resume PDF — we'll ask for it later if needed * Tell us you "can start immediately and work 24/7" — that's a red flag, not a green one * Pitch yourself as a multi-tool generalist We're hiring ONE person. We'll spend the time to find the right one. Looking forward to reading your application. Ekaterina
