Summary

About Jarhead Bets Jarhead Bets is a fast-growing sports betting and sports media brand focused on delivering daily sports picks, betting analysis, and premium subscriber content. Since launching on January 1, 2026, Jarhead Bets has: * Generated over $20,000 in subscription revenue * Grown to over 3,000 Instagram followers * Built a community of 180+ registered users/subscribers * Accomplished this almost entirely through Instagram and our website Instagram: @JarheadBets Website: [www.JarheadBets.com] Applicants are encouraged to review our content, website, and brand before applying. Why the Name? Jarhead Bets was founded by a U.S. Marine Corps veteran. "Jarhead" is a nickname commonly associated with Marines and reflects the discipline, consistency, accountability, and long-term mindset we strive to bring to sports betting and content creation. I believe we're still in the very early stages of what this brand can become. More importantly, we have already proven people are willing to pay for our product. Our next challenge is scaling audience growth, expanding onto new platforms, and converting more sports fans into paying subscribers. This is not a traditional social media management role. We are looking for someone who is passionate about content creation, audience growth, and sports media. Sports betting knowledge is a major plus, but creativity, initiative, and a growth mindset are equally important. The Opportunity Right now, Instagram is our primary platform. Our next phase of growth is expanding beyond Instagram and building a true multi-platform sports media brand. Your primary responsibility will be establishing, managing, posting, and growing Jarhead Bets' presence on X and TikTok by leveraging the daily content, analysis, and information already being produced within the business. Working directly with the founder, you will help transform daily picks, analysis, results, and educational concepts into content that attracts sports bettors, builds trust, grows our audience, and ultimately helps convert followers into paying subscribers. How We Work The founder remains actively involved in the business and will continue producing the core betting content, including: * Daily picks * Betting analysis * Results and performance updates * Subscriber content * Brand direction and strategy The founder will also continue managing and posting content on Instagram. Important Note: You will not be expected to create sports picks or betting analysis from scratch. Instead, your role is to take the information already being produced and help transform it into engaging content for X and TikTok, while also identifying opportunities to create educational, promotional, and audience-growth content around the brand. This is intended to be a collaborative role where the founder provides the sports betting expertise and direction, while you help execute content and growth strategies across the platforms. Primary Platforms * X * TikTok Secondary Responsibilities * Supporting Instagram growth when appropriate * Repurposing content across additional platforms when appropriate * Helping identify future growth opportunities Expected Commitment * Approximately 10–20 hours per week initially * Flexible remote schedule * Daily posting and account management responsibilities across X and TikTok * Performance and results matter far more than specific working hours * Opportunity for increased responsibility and compensation as the business grows Understanding the Sports Schedule Jarhead Bets operates 7 days per week. Sports happen nights, weekends, holidays, and major events don't always follow a traditional Monday-Friday schedule. While this is a flexible remote contract position, applicants should be comfortable working in a sports-driven environment where content opportunities often occur during evenings, weekends, and major sporting events. This does not mean being available 24/7. It does mean understanding that sports content often follows the sports calendar rather than a traditional work schedule. What You'll Do Content Creation * Create short-form video content * Create graphics and visual content * Repurpose betting content into platform-specific content * Develop educational sports betting content * Create content designed to build trust and drive subscriber growth * Help establish repeatable content systems Platform Management * Manage Jarhead Bets' X and TikTok accounts on a daily basis * Publish content consistently across both platforms * Build and maintain content calendars * Monitor engagement and audience feedback * Respond to comments and messages when appropriate * Identify platform-specific growth opportunities * Analyze performance and recommend improvements Content Types May Include * Sports betting education * Betting strategy concepts * Bankroll management * Sports betting terminology * Free picks and analysis * Results and performance recaps * Sports news and insights * Subscriber-focused promotional content Audience Growth * Grow X and TikTok from the ground up * Identify trends and opportunities * Analyze competitor strategies * Test new content formats * Recommend and execute growth initiatives * Help increase brand awareness and engagement Strategy & Collaboration * Work directly with the founder * Participate in planning discussions * Bring fresh ideas to the table * Help shape future content direction * Contribute ideas that drive subscriber growth and revenue What Success Looks Like Within the first 3–6 months, success may include: * Establishing a consistent and professional presence on X and TikTok * Posting high-quality content daily * Increasing content output and consistency * Creating repeatable content systems * Developing educational sports betting content * Growing audience size and engagement * Helping convert followers into paying subscribers * Contributing ideas that increase brand revenue While audience growth is important, our ultimate goal is building trust, growing our subscriber base, and creating a sustainable sports media business. Who We're Looking For You may be a great fit if: * You enjoy sports and sports media * You enjoy creating content * You are naturally curious about growth and audience building * You are self-motivated * You enjoy building things from the ground floor * You are comfortable taking ownership of projects * You are comfortable working in a sports-driven environment * You take initiative and solve problems independently We care far more about creativity, communication skills, reliability, work ethic, and growth mindset than formal education or years of experience. Preferred Skills Strongly Preferred * Experience managing X and TikTok accounts * Short-form video editing * Canva * CapCut * Graphic design * Content creation * Using AI * Strong written English Bonus Points * Sports betting knowledge * Experience growing social media accounts * Experience with sports media brands * Experience with betting-related content * Copywriting skills * Community management experience * Experience running paid social campaigns * Experience building audiences from zero Compensation * Remote contract position * Flexible schedule * Expected commitment: 10–20 hours per week initially * Daily posting and account management responsibilities across X and TikTok * Compensation will be discussed based on experience, availability, skill set, and scope of responsibilities * Performance-based bonuses may be available * Opportunity to grow with the brand as it expands To Apply Please include the following: 1. Tell Us About Yourself * Where you're located * Sports you follow most closely * Why this opportunity interests you 2. Content & Growth Background Tell us about: * Content you've created * Social accounts you've managed * Growth results you've achieved * Platforms you're most comfortable using 3. Portfolio Please provide some examples of some or all: * Short-form videos * Graphics * Social media content * Other relevant work 4. Subscriber Growth Question If your goal was to help Jarhead Bets gain 100 new paying subscribers over the next 6 months, what content strategy would you focus on and why? 5. Bonus Question What are three sports, betting, or media brands that are doing a great job on social media right now, and why? Final Note We are not looking for someone to simply schedule posts. We are looking for someone who enjoys creating content, experimenting with new ideas, taking ownership, and helping grow a brand. If you're excited about content, audience growth, sports media, and the opportunity to play a meaningful role in building an emerging sports business, we'd love to hear from you.
