Viral Recipe Content Scout — TikTok & Instagram (Daily, Ongoing — Food Niche)
Worldwide
I run a fast-growing healthy-food Instagram account and I'm looking for a trend-savvy content scout to find viral recipe videos I can feature. Your job is to comb TikTok and Instagram daily for high-performing, visually crave-worthy recipe reels and log them in an organized tracker. No filming or content creation, this is pure sourcing, research, and organization. This is a high-volume, daily role. What you'll do: Find 10–15 viral recipe videos per day (~70–105/week) across TikTok and Instagram Reels Focus on crave-worthy, healthy-leaning recipes: salads, high-protein meals, pasta, chicken dinners, sides, healthy desserts, drinks, etc. Prioritize genuine engagement — high views, saves, shares, and comments (not just likes) For each video, log: video link, creator handle (TikTok and Instagram), view/save counts, date posted, recipe category, and whether the full recipe is in the caption/comments or "gated" (link-in-bio/comment-for-recipe) Confirm the original creator's correct Instagram handle for crediting Avoid duplicates by cross-checking a running list of what I've already used Surface emerging formats early (think chopped salads, baked oats, viral spritzes) before they peak Deliverable: A clean Shared iCloud Notes updated daily with all fields above — sortable by category and engagement You're a great fit if you: Live on food TikTok/Instagram and have a sharp instinct for what actually goes viral Are extremely organized and can keep up a consistent daily output Can spot the difference between a truly viral post and vanity metrics Communicate clearly in English and source/verify info accurately Bonus points: Experience in social media research, trend forecasting, or the food/recipe niche Comfort reading engagement analytics Terms: ~10–15 videos/day, 7 days/week Ongoing daily role with a paid trial week to start To apply Send 2–3 example viral recipe videos you'd recommend for my account, with links and a sentence on why each one Briefly explain how you find and vet viral content daily Start your application with the word "AVOCADO" so I know you read this in full
