We are a Colorado nonprofit healthcare provider seeking an experienced Medicaid Billing and Accounts Receivable (A/R) specialist for an ongoing, long-term engagement supporting approximately 125–150 clients. Our Medicaid services include HCBS waiver/PASA services and home health services. Experience billing these service types is strongly preferred. This is not a one-time cleanup project. We are looking for someone to take responsibility for our weekly Medicaid billing and A/R management. The engagement will begin with a review and cleanup of the past several months of billing to ensure accounts are accurate and complete before transitioning into ongoing weekly management. Initial Cleanup & Reconciliation The contractor will: * Reconcile services provided against claims submitted and payments received. * Identify unbilled services, unpaid or underpaid claims, denials, rejections, reversals, and other discrepancies. * Research and resolve outstanding claims. * Correct and resubmit claims as appropriate. * Reconcile Medicaid remittances and payments. * Establish an accurate outstanding A/R balance. * Provide a clear record of findings, corrections, and unresolved items. Ongoing Weekly Responsibilities * Submit weekly Medicaid claims for approximately 125–150 clients through our EHR. * Review claims for accuracy and completeness. * Monitor claim status and payments. * Reconcile remittances and payments. * Manage A/R and outstanding balances. * Resolve denied and rejected claims. * Submit corrected claims and resubmissions. * Follow unpaid and underpaid claims through resolution. * Monitor timely filing. * Provide regular billing and A/R reporting. * Coordinate with our internal team when documentation, authorization, eligibility, or other issues affect billing. Qualifications Direct Medicaid medical billing and A/R experience is required. Colorado Medicaid/Health First Colorado experience is strongly preferred. Experience with HCBS waiver/PASA and home health billing is highly desirable. We need someone who can independently manage the complete Medicaid revenue cycle—from claim submission through payment reconciliation and A/R resolution—not someone whose experience is limited to claim entry. This is intended to be a long-term working relationship. While the initial cleanup may require additional time, ongoing weekly billing and A/R management is currently expected to require less than 8 hours per week. The contractor must maintain appropriate confidentiality and HIPAA-compliant practices when handling protected health and billing information. When applying, please describe your Medicaid billing experience, including any direct experience with Colorado Medicaid/Health First Colorado, HCBS/PASA services, home health, historical billing cleanup, and ongoing Medicaid A/R management.

We're a B2B platform serving the economic development community, and we're looking for a Business Development Representative to set appointments by phone with economic development professionals from a list we provide. This is a calling role specifically. We're not looking for email or LinkedIn outreach here. We want someone who can pick up the phone, work through a curated list of contacts, and turn those calls into booked meetings for our team. Your task is straightforward to describe and takes real skill to do well. We hand you a targeted list of economic development professionals such as economic development organizations, chambers of commerce, and regional development agencies. You call them, introduce what we do in a credible and professional way, qualify them lightly to make sure they're the right person, and book a short discovery call on our calendar. You'll log your activity and outcomes in our CRM so we can see what's working, and you'll aim to hit a weekly target for appointments set. We provide the contact list, a script and talking points to start from, scheduling tools, and a quick onboarding so you understand who we are and why this audience cares. The skills we're looking for are proven appointment-setting or BDR experience in B2B, with a strong and confident phone presence. This audience is public-sector and quasi-public, so tone and credibility matter a great deal. You should have excellent spoken English, the persistence to work a list without getting discouraged, and the self-direction to manage your own day and hit your numbers without close supervision. Comfort with a CRM and basic scheduling tools is expected. Experience selling to or working with government, civic, nonprofit, or economic development buyers is a strong plus. Good communication matters to us, both on the phone with prospects and with our team. We'd like regular, brief check-ins on how the calling is going, what objections you're hearing, and where the list is converting or stalling, so we can adjust the script and targeting together. We like to work in a collaborative and low-drama way. We give you clear targets and the tools to hit them, we're responsive when you have questions, and we'd rather solve problems together than leave you guessing. If you do good work, there's room for this to grow into a larger, ongoing engagement. To apply, tell us briefly about your appointment-setting experience and the kinds of audiences you've called, roughly how many meetings you booked per week in past roles, and any experience reaching public-sector or civic buyers. A short note on how you approach a cold call is a plus.

*Please read this full post before applying as it's not for everyone * I am not looking for a canned proposal. I won't respond to obviously AI responses * Potential dealbreakers below I am looking for a long-term Google Ads and social media ads specialist who understands small business budgets, local service businesses, hourly work, and clear reporting. I have been in the website and marketing industry for 20+ years. Over time, I have focused my work on WordPress websites, SEO, and marketing support for American small businesses. Most of my clients are local, service-based businesses, no e-commerce. My clients include general contractors, excavators, concrete companies, fence builders, deck builders, dog walkers, therapists, nonprofit consultants, tree farms, and other small business owners. I am looking for someone who can help manage simple paid ad campaigns for some of these clients. This may include Google, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and maybe even ChatGPT ads, or a mix depending on the client. Some campaigns may be ongoing. Others may be short-term campaigns for a specific service, event, season, promotion, or business need. I need someone who is comfortable with both. This would be a small team relationship. I want someone reliable, practical, honest, and easy to communicate with. *Possibly dealbreaker for you* Important pricing and workflow note: I do not work on large monthly retainers or project-based pricing. My company bills clients based on real time worked. I know most ad specialists have a monthly minimum per client with package deals starting at $500-1,000/month. That just doesn't work for my clients who are small, local businesses with tight budgets. Each invoice to my client is broken down by: Client Task Time worked If a task takes 10 minutes, I bill 10 minutes. If it takes 47 minutes, I bill 47 minutes. I need someone who is willing to work the same way. Please do not apply if you require a monthly minimum per client. Some clients may only have $100 per month available for ad management. Some may have more. The work will vary by client and by month. This is very important. I work with small businesses that need honest, practical marketing help without being forced into large retainers they cannot afford. Time tracking and payment: You will need to use my FreshBooks Contractor account to track your time. Time must be tracked by client and task. I invoice clients and pay contractors around the first of each month. Honest time tracking is required. Inflated time, padded hours, vague time entries, or time clock theft are dealbreakers. I am loyal to good people, and I want this to become a long-term working relationship. But honesty, integrity, clear communication, and accurate time tracking are non-negotiable. The work may include: - Setting up basic Google and social media campaigns from scratch - Some ad accounts have already been started so will need to give you access. After which, you're welcome to work your magic with the data I've got and create new campaigns. - I'll need you to take lead on guiding me to get you the right access to accounts and to share with me. - Generating New Ads: Doing basic keyword research, writing ad copy, setting location targeting based on client direction and current website, reviewing landing pages if necessary, etc. - Maintaining Ads: Checking search terms, pausing poor-performing items, adjusting keywords or targeting, updating ad copy, reviewing spend, etc. - Monthly Reporting: Send a monthly report via email to me that I will forward to the client after review. You can include any notable highlights they should know or questions to ask. Most campaigns will be simple. I am not looking for overly complicated agency-style campaign builds. I need clean, organized, practical campaigns for local service businesses. You should be comfortable communicating with me directly. Over time, if needed, you can communicate directly with my clients after I make an introduction. Please have: - Well-written communication - Strong customer service skills - A positive attitude - Patience with small budgets Tools You'll Use: - Asana for project management - FreshBooks for time tracking - Search Atlas - I use for SEO but you can use whatever tool you prefer This may be a good fit if: - You intimately understand the back end of the Google ecosystem (Ads, Analytics, Search Console, Tags, etc.) - You've been doing this long enough that you don't need much direction. - You don't just go through the motions of running ads but actually use your brain and help these small businesses get leads and survive. - You're completely comfortable with small budgets, small business owners, and sometimes fickle budgets. - You don't require monthly minimums and have no problem working hourly and even prefer it that way for transparency and honesty. - You're interested in long-term work. This is not a good fit if you: - Only work with large ad budgets - Require a monthly minimum per client - Require large retainers - Only work on project-based pricing - Do not want detailed hourly tracking - Do not want to use FreshBooks for time tracking - Do not want to work with small local businesses I am looking for someone for the long haul. If I find the right fit, I believe this can grow over time. I already have a solid base of about 40 clients, and I am confident I will bring in more work once I have the right person helping with paid ads.

Illustrator & Book Formatter Needed for a Memorial Book Honoring a Beloved Siberian Husky About the Project I am looking for a talented illustrator and book formatter to help complete a deeply personal memorial book honoring my Siberian Husky, Shiloh. This is not a children’s book. It is a keepsake memorial that tells the story of a dog who should have lived much longer. The story follows Shiloh’s adventures, her journey to Heaven, and the legacy she continues to leave behind. The book is also intended to support Second Chance Mushers Rescue, the nonprofit sanctuary where Shiloh lived. Proceeds from every book sold will help provide food, veterinary care, and daily support for the dogs who still call the sanctuary home. This project means the world to me, and I am looking for someone who will treat it with the same level of care and respect. Project Details The completed book contains approximately 36 pages, including the front cover, dedication page, story pages, Author’s Note, and back cover. The story, layout, and illustrations have already been completed. The primary goal of this project is to professionally refine the artwork, improve consistency throughout the book, enhance selected illustrations where needed, and prepare the final book for publication through BookBaby. About the Artwork Every illustration in this book was created from my own story, vision, and creative direction. To help bring those ideas to life, I used AI-assisted image generation during the planning process. These illustrations represent the scenes, emotions, and storytelling I envisioned, but they are not intended to be the final published artwork. I am looking for an artist who can use these illustrations as concept art and transform them into beautiful, cohesive, publication-quality artwork while preserving the heart of the story. I am not looking for someone to simply trace or lightly edit AI-generated images. I am looking for an artist whose creativity, experience, and artistic vision can elevate these concepts into something truly special. Scope of Work The book is approximately 90% complete. Most illustrations require professional refinement so that Shiloh consistently resembles my real Siberian Husky using the reference photos I provide. I would also like anatomy corrected where needed, facial expressions refined, backgrounds enhanced, lighting improved, and the artwork made consistent from beginning to end. Any AI-generated inconsistencies should be professionally resolved so the finished illustrations feel natural, polished, and cohesive. A smaller number of illustrations require more extensive artistic work. Some scenes need a fresh perspective, stronger composition, or a more dynamic viewpoint because a few pages feel visually similar. My goal is to preserve the emotion and meaning of each scene while making every illustration unique and memorable. Book Formatting Once the artwork is complete, I also need the book professionally prepared for publication through BookBaby. This includes formatting the interior for an 8” × 10” portrait book, ensuring proper bleed, margins, and gutter spacing, creating a print-ready interior PDF, and designing the front cover, spine, and back cover to BookBaby’s specifications. What I Will Provide I will provide the completed manuscript, the current illustrated version of the book, a PDF containing detailed revision notes for every illustration, numerous reference photos of Shiloh from every angle, reference photos of myself and the other dogs appearing throughout the story, and clear communication throughout the project. Artistic Style I am looking for artwork that feels realistic, painterly, emotional, warm, and cinematic. Most importantly, I want the finished book to be consistent from beginning to end and feel like a treasured keepsake that readers will cherish for years to come. Budget This is a fixed-price project with a budget of $1,500 USD. Paid Sample Illustration Before awarding the full project, I will select a small number of artists to complete one paid sample illustration. Each selected artist will receive one page from the book to recreate using the reference materials and artistic direction I provide. Compensation for the sample will be $50 USD. After reviewing the completed samples, I will select the artist whose style, communication, creativity, and interpretation best fit the vision for this memorial book and award them the full project. Portfolio & Experience When applying, please include examples of realistic dog portraits, digital painting, illustrated books, memorial artwork, or other emotionally driven projects. Experience transforming concept artwork into polished, publication-quality illustrations and preparing books for print is highly preferred. Copyright Upon final payment, all completed artwork, design files, and formatting must be transferred to me with full commercial rights for publication and sale. A Personal Note Shiloh wasn’t just my dog—she was family. She inspired countless people through Second Chance Mushers Rescue, and this book is my way of preserving her memory while continuing to help the dogs she left behind. My hope is to create something that families who have loved and lost a pet can hold onto forever. I want this book to comfort others while honoring Shiloh’s incredible life, and at the same time help provide a better future for the dogs still living at the sanctuary she called home. If you believe your artistic style and experience are a good fit for this project, I would love the opportunity to work with you.

# Request for Proposal ## Meta Advertising Improvement & Capability Transfer ### About School of Ranch School of Ranch is a Central Oregon nonprofit adult education organization offering hands-on workshops in practical ranch, homestead, farm, artisan, land, food, and self-reliance skills. We have a strong and growing audience, a proven workshop model, and an established Meta advertising program. Meta is currently our primary paid acquisition channel, with annual ad spend of approximately **$20,000**. Our Meta advertising works, but it has evolved primarily as a way to promote individual workshops and sell tickets. Creative has become repetitive, testing is inconsistent, and campaigns are not yet organized around a deliberate funnel. We want to take the next step—without building a monster. --- # Project Objective We are seeking an experienced Meta advertising consultant to help us: **Build a simple, effective, repeatable Meta advertising system that helps School of Ranch market its ongoing workshop catalog, develop its audience, and ultimately increase participation.** School of Ranch maintains an evolving catalog that includes: * workshops currently open for ticket registration * workshops in pre-registration, where we are measuring interest before scheduling * new and returning workshops added to the catalog over time Our current Meta activity is weighted heavily toward advertising individual workshops and asking people to register. We want to develop a more intentional funnel-oriented approach in which Meta can potentially help us: * introduce relevant new audiences to School of Ranch * generate interest in our practical learning experiences * grow our newsletter and owned audience * generate pre-registration interest * retarget people who have demonstrated interest * sell tickets to workshops currently in registration * learn which audiences, messages, creative approaches, and offers produce meaningful downstream behavior We do not assume we already know the right mix of these activities. Part of the assignment is to help us **test, learn, and establish a practical operating model based on actual performance.** This is explicitly a **capability-building and knowledge-transfer engagement**, not an ongoing outsourced ad-management relationship. The consultant should improve the system with us, document it, train us, and ultimately hand operation back to School of Ranch. **If the system only works while the consultant is running it, the project has failed.** --- # Current State Our Meta program currently has several strengths: * an established audience and brand * meaningful historical campaign activity * approximately $20,000 in annual Meta ad spend * a substantial and changing workshop catalog * Meta Pixel in place * an internal team accustomed to promoting workshops Known weaknesses include: * heavy reliance on direct workshop promotion * repetitive creative * heavy reliance on carousel-style ticket advertising * inconsistent testing * limited funnel-stage diversity * limited audience testing * relatively unsophisticated retargeting * inconsistent learning from campaign to campaign * limited use of Meta to build an owned audience * campaigns that operate more independently than as parts of a coherent system We are not looking to throw everything away. We want someone who can determine what is working, improve what isn't, identify worthwhile experiments, and create better operating discipline around the whole program. --- # Scope of Work We anticipate three primary phases. ## Phase 1 — Audit & Operating Design Review the existing Meta advertising operation, including as appropriate: * account and campaign structure * historical campaign performance * audiences and targeting * retargeting * creative formats and variation * messaging * budget allocation * workshop and catalog promotion * pre-registration advertising * newsletter/audience acquisition * Pixel and tracking configuration * reporting and decision-making practices Deliver a prioritized assessment that distinguishes: 1. what should remain 2. what should change now 3. what is worth testing 4. what is unnecessary for an organization of our size Then recommend a **simple operating model** for how Meta should support School of Ranch's broader marketing funnel and ongoing catalog. We are specifically interested in simplicity and maintainability. We are not trying to replicate the advertising infrastructure of a national ecommerce company. --- ## Phase 2 — Implementation & Live Testing Work with us using our **actual active workshop catalog and ongoing Meta campaigns** to implement and test the improved approach. The implementation period should provide enough real campaign activity to test and refine how Meta can support different stages of our funnel. ### Audience Development Help us test how Meta can efficiently introduce relevant people to School of Ranch and give them reasons to remain connected. This should include testing appropriate ways to grow our newsletter or other owned audience rather than requiring every new prospect to immediately purchase a workshop ticket. We do not assume newsletter acquisition is automatically the correct answer or that every subscriber acquired through Meta will be valuable. We want to test whether we can acquire people who demonstrate meaningful subsequent engagement. ### Catalog Marketing Help us determine how to market a changing catalog containing multiple workshops without simply running an endless collection of disconnected workshop ads. This may include testing the appropriate roles of: * individual workshop advertising * groups or themes of workshops * broader School of Ranch messaging * creative that communicates the range and value of School of Ranch * retargeting based on demonstrated interest ### Pre-Registration Help us improve how Meta supports workshops in pre-registration. We use pre-registration to measure audience interest before scheduling some workshops. We want to understand how paid media can generate and measure meaningful interest at this stage and how those audiences should subsequently be handled. ### Registration Improve the effectiveness of advertising for workshops currently selling tickets. This should include appropriate improvements to: * targeting * creative * messaging * campaign structure * timing * retargeting * budget decisions * optimization ### Funnel Movement Help us understand how these activities should work together rather than as unrelated campaigns. Our marketing funnel is: **Discover → Learn → Engage → Pre-Register → Register → Return / Advocate** Meta does not need to perform every function in that funnel. Part of the assignment is determining **where Meta adds meaningful value and where it does not.** We do not want an elaborate automated funnel. We want a practical framework that can be tested against actual audience behavior and improved over time. --- # Testing & Learning A major objective of this engagement is establishing a repeatable testing discipline. We want to move from: **running ads and looking at results** toward: **forming hypotheses, running bounded tests, observing behavior, and applying what we learn.** Tests may examine questions such as: * Which creative approaches generate meaningful engagement from new audiences? * What messages or offers can efficiently grow an owned audience? * Do Meta-acquired newsletter subscribers subsequently engage with School of Ranch? * When does advertising an individual workshop outperform broader catalog or thematic advertising? * Which audiences respond to different types of workshop offerings? * Which retargeting approaches produce useful downstream behavior? * How should paid activity differ for workshops in pre-registration versus ticket registration? * What role should awareness and engagement campaigns play relative to direct-response advertising? * Which approaches are worth repeating, changing, or abandoning? We do not need statistically pristine experimentation. We need disciplined experimentation that produces useful operational learning. For meaningful tests, our team should ultimately be able to identify: * what hypothesis we are testing * what variable is changing * what outcome we're watching * what happened * what we learned * what we will do differently as a result --- # Phase 3 — Capability Transfer & Handoff Transition operation of the improved Meta program to the School of Ranch team. Expected handoff materials should include, as appropriate: * Meta campaign operating playbook * recommended campaign structures and templates * catalog advertising framework * audience-development framework * creative testing framework * audience-testing framework * retargeting approach * pre-registration advertising approach * ticket-registration advertising approach * budget and optimization decision rules * campaign naming and organization conventions * simple measurement and reporting framework * testing and learning process * campaign review checklist * written SOPs * recorded walkthroughs where useful The final portion of the engagement should involve **School of Ranch increasingly operating campaigns while the consultant coaches and reviews our work.** Watching a consultant share their screen is not capability transfer. --- # What We Are NOT Looking For This project does **not** include: * permanent outsourced Meta management * redesigning School of Ranch's overall marketing strategy * redesigning our lifecycle marketing strategy * a new CRM or marketing platform * elaborate attribution infrastructure * enterprise marketing technology * large-scale marketing automation * complex audience taxonomies * social media management * organic content management * SEO * Google Ads * complexity for complexity's sake We are also not looking for someone whose primary recommendation is simply to increase ad spend. Meta is an important part of our marketing system. **It is not our entire marketing system.** --- # What Success Looks Like At the conclusion of the project: ### 1. School of Ranch has a documented Meta operating model. Our team understands the different jobs Meta can perform and how campaigns should support our catalog and marketing funnel. ### 2. We have a tested approach to audience development. We have tested ways to use Meta to develop an owned audience and have a framework for determining whether those audiences produce meaningful subsequent engagement. ### 3. We have a clearer approach to catalog marketing. We understand when and how to advertise individual workshops, groups or themes of workshops, pre-registration opportunities, and School of Ranch more broadly. ### 4. Our direct-response advertising is stronger. Advertising for workshops currently selling tickets uses more disciplined creative, targeting, retargeting, budgeting, and optimization practices. ### 5. We have substantially improved our testing discipline. We know what we're testing, why we're testing it, what happened, and what we will do differently as a result. ### 6. We have clearer decision rules. Our team knows which metrics matter for different campaign objectives and when performance warrants action. ### 7. The system has been tested against actual School of Ranch marketing activity. This isn't a strategy deck sitting in Google Drive. ### 8. School of Ranch can operate the system internally. This is the most important deliverable. --- # Ideal Consultant We're looking for someone who: * has strong hands-on Meta Ads Manager experience * has worked effectively with relatively modest advertising budgets * understands acquisition beyond immediate purchase conversion * understands both awareness and direct-response advertising * understands retargeting and funnel-oriented paid media * knows how to structure useful creative and audience tests * can distinguish meaningful optimization from Meta-advertising voodoo * communicates clearly with non-specialists * documents their work * enjoys teaching * can simplify rather than merely add sophistication * is comfortable eventually making themselves unnecessary Experience with local, event, adult education, nonprofit, experience-based, or catalog-oriented marketing would be useful. Experience transferring paid-media operations from consultant or agency management to an internal team is particularly valuable. --- # Engagement Structure We anticipate a **fixed-fee, milestone-based engagement**, likely lasting approximately **8–12 weeks**, depending on the implementation and testing approach proposed. Meta advertising spend is separate from consultant compensation. We expect implementation and testing to occur against our actual active catalog and advertising activity rather than hypothetical campaigns. --- # Proposal Requirements Please keep your proposal relatively short. Include: ### 1. Relevant Experience Briefly describe your Meta advertising experience, particularly with organizations with modest budgets and with audience development, local/event marketing, education, nonprofits, or similar organizations. ### 2. Your Approach How would you approach moving School of Ranch from its current workshop-focused Meta advertising toward a stronger funnel-oriented, internally operated system? ### 3. Testing Approach How would you help us establish a practical testing and learning discipline given our relatively modest advertising budget? ### 4. Capability Transfer Describe how you would ensure our team can operate the system without you after the engagement. If applicable, provide an example of a previous engagement where you successfully transferred advertising capability to a client team. ### 5. Proposed Scope Describe the major phases and deliverables you recommend. Please identify anything in our proposed scope that you believe is unnecessary, unrealistic, or missing. **We appreciate consultants who tell us not to do things.** ### 6. Timeline Provide your estimated project duration and availability. ### 7. Fee Provide a proposed **fixed project fee**, including any milestone structure you recommend. Please separate consultant fees from advertising spend. ### 8. Work Samples / References Provide relevant examples, case studies, or references where appropriate. --- # How We Will Evaluate Proposals We will prioritize: 1. ability to build a simple, maintainable Meta operating system 2. demonstrated Meta advertising expertise 3. understanding of funnel-oriented paid media 4. strength of testing and learning methodology 5. ability to teach and transfer capability 6. experience working effectively with budgets comparable to ours 7. quality and practicality of the proposed approach 8. communication clarity 9. documentation discipline 10. cost We are **not** selecting primarily on who promises the highest ROAS. We are looking for someone who can leave School of Ranch with a substantially better advertising capability than we have today. --- # One Final Note School of Ranch has no interest in marketing sophistication for its own sake. We want a Meta program that is smarter, more disciplined, more creative, more funnel-oriented, and more effective—but still simple enough that a small organization can actually run it. We expect some of our current assumptions to be wrong. Finding that out is part of the assignment. If your preferred outcome is a client who needs you forever, we're probably not a fit. If your preferred outcome is leaving a client noticeably better at the work than when you arrived, we'd like to hear from you.
