We're a subscription app for women and we're scaling a creator-affiliate program and newsletter sponsorships. The strategy, brand voice, and target lists are already built — we need someone reliable to execute the outreach against a playbook we'll give you on day one. What you'd do (week to week): - Source and vet creators and newsletters from criteria we provide - Send outreach DMs and emails in our approved voice (templates provided; you personalize each one) - Set up affiliate records and tracking links in our admin tool and keep our outreach CRM current - Request rates/media kits from newsletters and coordinate booking the ones we approve - Chase replies, track status, and send a short weekly summary of what went out and what came back You are: - US-based and a native/fluent English writer — non-negotiable; the outreach has to sound natural to a young US audience - Fluent in how creators and Gen Z actually talk online — our voice is casual and lowercase, never corporate - Experienced in influencer/creator outreach, partnerships, or BD (point to specific examples) - Organized and self-managing — you can run a repeatable process without hand-holding - Comfortable with light tools (Google Sheets, a simple admin dashboard, email) Not a fit if: you're a strategist looking to redesign our plan, or an agency. This is hands-on execution of an existing plan. Logistics: ~10–15 hrs/week to start, hourly. We begin with a paid 2-week trial (a defined sourcing + outreach task), then continue and increase hours if it's working. To apply, answer the screening questions. We read for voice and fit — skip generic proposals.

Overview I’m looking for an experienced business strategist to review a collection of existing materials, ideas, drafts, notes, podcast concepts, writing samples, and early business directions, then help me determine the strongest path forward. I am not looking for someone to simply execute a pre-decided idea. I need someone who can evaluate what I already have, identify the strongest opportunity, challenge weak assumptions, and recommend a practical launch plan for an online business that can grow into scalable income. The ideal person has experience with creator businesses, online education, personal brands, YouTube/channel strategy, newsletters, digital products, productized services, podcast/content ecosystems, audience validation, and offer development. What I Need Help With I have several possible directions and existing materials, including written essays, personal development concepts, possible podcast ideas, business notes, creative interests, and early product/service ideas. I need someone to help answer questions like: • What is the strongest business opportunity based on my actual skills, interests, experience, and available time? • What should be tested first? • What should be ignored, delayed, or treated only as a supporting piece? • Is this best built through writing, YouTube, podcasting, newsletter, digital products, services, community, coaching, or some combination? • What audience should I start with? • What problem is commercially strong enough to build around? • What platforms should I use at launch, and what role should each platform play? • Should YouTube be part of the launch strategy now, later, or not at all? • What kind of channel or content brand would make sense if video is recommended? • What first offer, product, or service should be tested? • How do I validate demand before spending months building the wrong thing? Important I do not want a generic motivational business plan, brand mood board, or social media posting calendar. I need someone who can think strategically, evaluate raw material, and create a practical plan based on evidence, market reality, and founder fit. The right person should be comfortable reviewing messy early-stage materials and turning them into a clear recommendation. Possible Areas to Evaluate The project may involve some combination of: • Writing/newsletter strategy • YouTube channel or video brand strategy • Podcast strategy • Digital products, templates, workbooks, or courses • Productized services • Personal brand positioning • Audience research • Offer validation • Content repurposing • Online community or membership potential • Long-term monetization path I am open to the strategist recommending a different path than the one I currently expect, as long as the reasoning is clear. Deliverables For the first phase, I’d like: 1. Review of the materials I provide 2. Assessment of the strongest business directions 3. Clear recommendation of the best path to test first 4. Explanation of why that path is stronger than the alternatives 5. Audience and positioning recommendation 6. Platform strategy, including whether YouTube should be used and how 7. First offer or monetization test recommendation 8. 30/60/90-day launch and validation plan 9. Metrics for deciding whether to continue, pivot, or stop 10. Suggested next hires or tools, if needed Preferred Background Strong candidates may have experience as a: • Creator business strategist • Online business strategist • YouTube/channel strategist • Digital product strategist • Personal brand strategist • Offer development consultant • Productized service consultant • Audience research/validation consultant • Newsletter or content business strategist Experience with creator-led businesses, solopreneurs, consultants, authors, coaches, YouTube channels, newsletters, or digital product businesses is preferred. Budget I am open to either a fixed-price project or hourly work with a capped first milestone. For the first milestone, please propose a diagnostic/audit phase before moving into a full launch plan. To Apply Please answer the following: 1. What is your process for reviewing someone’s raw business ideas and identifying the strongest opportunity? 2. How do you determine founder-market fit or founder-business fit? 3. How do you validate whether an audience or offer has real commercial potential? 4. What role do you think YouTube, newsletters, podcasts, and short-form content should play in a modern online business? 5. Please share examples of creator, expert, service, digital product, YouTube, or newsletter businesses you have helped launch or clarify. 6. What would your first 7–10 days on this project look like? 7. What would you need from me to make a strong recommendation? I am looking for honest strategic judgment, not someone to rubber-stamp my current assumptions.

We are a research-data company that has built a new way to generate survey responses using AI grounded in the real, observed behavior of actual individuals rather than invented personas. We have benchmarked it ourselves against published sources and the early results are strong. Now we want experienced, independent people to pressure-test the method and tell us where it holds up and where it breaks. We are looking to build a small bench of senior contractors for one or more short engagements. This is not a data-entry or survey-fielding gig. We want methodological judgment. What the work involves: Reviewing our validation approach and benchmark design, and telling us honestly where it is weak Designing or running independent comparisons of our AI-generated data against trusted sources or fresh human samples Going beyond topline accuracy to assess subgroup estimates and whether the relationships between variables are preserved Writing up findings clearly enough that a skeptical buyer or partner would trust them Who we are looking for: 10+ years in survey research, marketing science, polling, or applied statistics Hands-on experience with validation, benchmarking, weighting, and error measurement (MAE, MSE, calibration, significance testing done sensibly) Comfort with subgroup analysis and multivariate relationships, not just marginals A reputation for rigor and a willingness to deliver an unflattering result if that is what the data shows Independent, meaning not currently tied to a competing synthetic-data or panel vendor Nice to have: Familiarity with synthetic respondents, digital twins, or LLM-based survey simulation Prior work with sources like Pew, Gallup, Nielsen, MRI-Simmons, Census, or election data Past experience designing validation studies for the ARF, ESOMAR, MRS, or similar
