About us
We're a sports card business building a trusted presence on Instagram. We want to become a recognized voice in the hobby and connect directly with collectors, buyers, and sellers. We're growing from 3,500 to 10,000 real followers and we need someone who can own that goal and report on it every week.
The role
You'll run our Instagram growth: Reels and content, daily community engagement, collaborations, and turning followers into real buyer and seller conversations. This is part-time (15-20 hours/week) with clear monthly targets, and the role can grow into more hours if results are strong.
What you'll do
Publish 3-4 Reels and 1-2 carousels per week, plus daily Stories, from a monthly content calendar
Edit short-form video (CapCut, Canva, or similar) from footage and photos we provide
Spend 30-45 minutes daily engaging with relevant collectors, breakers, sellers, and hobby accounts through comments and DMs
Reply to all comments and DMs within agreed working hours
Identify qualified buyers and sellers and hand them to us with context (who they are, what they want, budget if known)
Set up 2-3 collabs, shoutouts, or giveaways per month with accounts in our niche (from month 3 on)
Develop and run repeatable content series
Gradually clean up our following list (details below)
Deliver a weekly report with metrics, insights, and next steps
Our starting point
Followers: 3,500
Following: 6,500 (needs cleanup)
Content: we supply raw footage and card photos; you shape them into posts
Goals and how you'll be measured - Please provide us your strategy and timeline on how you will achieve this.
Also measured every month:
At least 95% of the content calendar delivered on time
DM and comment response time under 12 hours in month 1, improving to under 4 hours by month 3
Weekly report delivered on time, plus a monthly review of what to double down on
What counts as a qualified conversation: a real person who has expressed interest in buying, selling, trading, or consigning cards and has answered at least one follow-up question. Likes and "nice card" comments don't count.
Following cleanup
Reduce our following count from 6,500 to about 3,000 by month 4. Unfollow 50-100 accounts per day, starting with inactive, spam, and off-niche accounts. No bulk or automated unfollowing.
Ground rules
No bought followers, bots, engagement pods, or mass follow/unfollow tools
Access through Meta Business Suite only. We never share passwords.
Tell us right away if the account receives an action block or warning
Keep a shared lead log so every qualified conversation is tracked
