Summary

Content Creator — ACT Prep Ad Campaign (Portfolio-Building Project, Long-Term Potential) About us: We're a tutoring company that's grown entirely through word-of-mouth — enough to keep us fully booked without ever running a single ad. Our 4-week ACT prep course gets results, and we offer it at roughly half the price of comparable courses from our competitors. We have a strong product and we're finally ready to take it to the next level. The project: We're looking for a creator to build the ad content that brings our ACT prep course to a wider audience. The goal is to fill our next course with 50+ students. Here's what makes this rare: we've never advertised online, so this is a true blank slate. Every bit of growth from this campaign is directly attributable to your work — clean before-and-after, real numbers, a case study you can put your name on. For the right person, this is a genuine portfolio centerpiece. What you'd create: Short-form video and visual content for TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Ad creative for our Google Ads campaigns The hooks and messaging that grab both students and parents Iterations based on what's actually performing Who we're looking for: An emerging or early-career creator who wants a real project to build their portfolio and resume around Someone hungry to make a name for themselves, who'll treat this like it's their own Comfortable leaning on AI tools to work efficiently — we actively encourage it A strong instinct for what makes people stop scrolling The details: Budget: ~$500 for the initial content package. This is paid, and we're upfront that it's lean — the real draw here is the creative freedom and the portfolio piece. If the campaign gains traction, we're open to adding performance-based pay: each student who enrolls is worth about $300 to us, and we'd share a cut of that for the students your content helps bring in. Long-term: This starts as a focused project, but if we click, there's real room to keep going. We're planning online video courses next and would love an ongoing creator partner to grow with us. You'll work directly with me, the founder — not a layer of account managers.
