Social Media & Video Editing for Yoga Teacher

Social Media Assistant (Part-Time, Remote)

Hours: 5–10 hrs/week to start
Pay: $5/hour to start
Schedule: Flexible, but needs regular weekly availability (not sporadic). Content needs to be ready to go before I wake up in the morning (US Pacific time) — the time difference seems to work well for this if you're consistent about hitting that window.

About the Role

I run a yoga and movement business with an engaged, loyal online community — mostly on Instagram (which cross-posts to Facebook ). I'm looking for someone to take content creation and community engagement off my plate so I can focus on teaching.

This is NOT a "post and forget" role. My audience is genuinely engaged — posts sometimes take off and generate real conversations and DMs — and I care a lot about responding to people like an actual human, not a bot. That's a core part of this job.

I also really want content that pops — stuff that gets noticed and feels distinct, not generic templated posts. If you have a good eye for what stands out in a crowded feed, that matters a lot to me.

What You'll Do

• Create social media content for Instagram (primary platform, auto cross-posts to Facebook ) and TikTok — graphics, captions, reels/short video edits
• Monitor and respond to comments and messages, especially on Facebook , in a warm, human voice (never automated/bot responses — I will not use tools that fake engagement)
• Incorporate feedback and edits efficiently — I'll give direction and corrections, especially early on, and I need someone who takes that well and improves over time rather than needing the same fixes repeated

What Success Looks Like

If this works well, pay can increase to $6+/hour, based on real results after 90 days — increased reach, engagement, and conversion (people signing up for classes/programs because of what you create).

Possible Future Scope (Not Guaranteed Yet)

I'm not committing to this yet, but depending on how things evolve on my end, there's a *possibility* this role could expand to include things like writing newsletters, light video editing (adding music to class videos), video uploading, and some more design work (graphic design, as well as website design on a drag and drop system similar to Wix... but not wix). This would mean another 10 +/- hours per week. I want to be upfront: this may or may not happen, and I don't want anyone applying on the assumption that extra hours are coming. If you're only interested in this role because of that potential future work, this may not be the right fit right now — I need someone who's excited about the core social media scope as it stands today.

Bonus Points If:

• You have experience in yoga, wellness, or movement-based content
• You're familiar with (or genuinely into) doom metal or the alternative/heavy music scene — I teach Goth Ballet and Doom Metal Yoga, and my brand lives in that niche, so someone who gets it instinctively is a huge plus

You Might Be a Good Fit If You:

• Have real experience running social media for a business or personal brand (portfolio/examples requested)
• Write in a natural, warm, conversational voice — not corporate or salesy
• Are comfortable creating simple graphics and short-form video content
• Understand Instagram and TikTok trends and formats
• Can respond to comments/messages like a genuine person, with good judgment about tone
• Take feedback well and apply it consistently (I will be giving edits, especially in the first weeks)
• Are reliable with communication — if something's delayed or you're stuck, you tell me, rather than going quiet

To Apply, Please Include:

1. Examples of social media content you've created (links or screenshots)
2. Tell me about a post (yours or someone else's) that you think really worked, and why you think it worked
3. Your availability (days/hours per week)
4. Anything else you want me to know
