Confirmation that you are an individual freelancer and not part of an agency. Generic or AI-generated copy-and-paste proposals that don't specifically reference Ledgora™ or the website will not be considered. Initial Engagement: I'd like to begin with a one-month paid trial to make sure we're a good fit. During that first month, I'd expect us to: * Develop a marketing strategy. * Create branded social media content. * Establish a consistent posting schedule. * Review analytics and audience engagement. * Identify opportunities to improve brand awareness. * Build a plan for long-term growth. If the collaboration goes well, I'm interested in continuing with the same person on an ongoing basis.
