SEO & Affiliate Operations Manager — Gold IRA Niche (Attorney-Led US Site)

Salary: $650/month starting, with clear path to $1,200+/month based on performance
Performance Bonus: Up to $200/month additional based on KPIs (traffic, rankings, conversions)
Hours: 8 hours/day, Monday to Friday
Time Zone: Flexible, but 2–3 hours overlap with Israel time (GMT+3) required
Long-term: This is a long-term role. We are building a 7-figure business and want someone who grows with us.


ABOUT US

We are Elite Asset Shield ( ---------- ), a US-focused affiliate content site in the Gold IRA and Crypto IRA niche. The site is led by a licensed attorney specializing in international asset protection. Our target audience is US investors aged 50+ with significant retirement assets.

We are entering an aggressive growth phase with a clear 12–18 month roadmap to $1M ARR through organic SEO, email, and YouTube. We have the strategy, budget, and systems. We need an execution partner.


WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

You are NOT a general VA. You are a specialist who has done this before. If you have not personally managed the growth of an affiliate or content site, please do not apply.

You have:

- 2+ years of hands-on SEO experience, ideally in finance, legal, or other YMYL niches
- Proven portfolio of websites you have helped grow (we will ask for URLs and specific metrics)
- Strong English writing and editing skills (American English)
- Working knowledge of: WordPress, Rank Math or Yoast, Google Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs or SEMrush, Surfer SEO
- Experience with email marketing platforms (Beehiiv, ConvertKit, or similar)
- Experience coordinating with freelance writers (hiring, briefing, editing, paying)
- Experience with backlink outreach: HARO/Connectively, guest posts, digital PR
- Excellent organizational skills — you can run ClickUp or Notion boards and produce weekly reports without being asked twice

Bonus points for:

- Direct experience in Gold IRA, precious metals, or retirement finance niches
- YouTube channel operations experience
- Basic HTML/CSS for WordPress tweaks
- Canva or basic Photoshop for featured images


WHAT YOU WILL DO

Weekly responsibilities:

- Manage the editorial pipeline: brief writers, review drafts, run SEO optimization in Surfer, publish to WordPress
- Coordinate 10–15 HARO/Connectively submissions per week (attorney writes responses, you handle dispatch and tracking)
- Send 10+ guest post pitches per week to DR 40+ finance sites
- Manage weekly newsletter: draft in our voice, get attorney approval, schedule, track performance
- Monitor Google Search Console for ranking changes, opportunities, and issues
- Produce a Monday morning weekly report using our exact format (provided)
- Respond to reader emails using approved templates
- Track all affiliate conversions across 8+ programs and reconcile against analytics

Monthly responsibilities:

- Hire and onboard new writers as we scale (2–4 writers to manage by month 3)
- Run monthly technical SEO audit
- Update and maintain the comparison pages and review articles as offers change
- Identify 3–5 new keyword opportunities from competitor analysis


WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Month 3:
- 30+ high-quality articles published
- 500+ email subscribers
- 10+ backlinks from DR 40+ sites

Month 6:
- 60+ articles ranking in top 50
- 3,000+ email subscribers
- First $5K+ month in affiliate revenue

Month 12:
- Site traffic above 50K monthly sessions
- 15,000+ email subscribers
- Monthly revenue above $30K

When we hit these milestones, your compensation scales. This is not a vague promise — we will put the specific triggers in writing in your contract.


HOW TO APPLY

Applications that do not follow this format will be ignored. We are looking for someone who reads carefully and follows instructions — prove that in your application.

Send us:

1. A 5-minute Loom video introducing yourself. Tell us: (a) your name, (b) one website you helped grow and the specific results you achieved, (c) why you think you are a fit for this role, (d) one thing you noticed about ---------- that you would change immediately.

2. A written answer to these three questions (maximum 3 sentences each):
• What is your current experience with YMYL or finance-niche SEO?
• Walk us through how you would choose between publishing 5 long-form articles vs 15 short articles per month.
• What is the difference between Goldco and Augusta Precious Metals, and which would you prioritize in a comparison article? (You are allowed to research — we want to see how you think, not what you already know.)

3. Links to 2–3 live websites you have worked on, with a one-sentence description of your contribution.

4. Your preferred start date and confirmation that you can commit to 8 hours per day, 5 days per week, for at least 6 months.

5. In your application subject line, write: "EAS-VA Application — [Your Name] — [Number of years of SEO experience]"

We review applications within 5 business days. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a 30-minute video interview, followed by a paid 5-day trial period at full rate.


FINAL NOTE

We are serious operators building a serious business. We value initiative, honesty, and follow-through over credentials. If you are hungry, fast, and take ownership — even if your resume is not perfect — we want to hear from you.

If you are looking for easy work, passive hours, or something you can do while managing five other clients, this is not the role for you.

We are hiring ONE person for this role. Take your time with your application.
