Book Promotion & Outreach Virtual Assistant — One-Off Project

About the project

I am the author of *Who Am I Without the Badge?*, a book about career identity, professional transitions, leadership, and finding direction beyond your job title.

Book link: ----------

I am looking for a reliable, resourceful virtual assistant to execute a small, measurable book-promotion campaign. I do not want a strategy document alone. I need someone who will do the research, send the outreach, pursue free promotional opportunities, and provide evidence of completed work.

Fixed budget

$20 USD for the entire project.

This is a one-time assignment. There is no ongoing commitment.

Deliverables

Within 5–7 calendar days of starting, please complete the following:

1. Research 30 relevant promotional opportunities

Find real, active blogs, newsletters, podcasts, book communities, career coaches, leadership creators, and professional-development platforms that may be interested in the book.

Prioritize opportunities that accept free submissions, author interviews, guest contributions, or book features. The audience must be relevant to the book.

2. Build a tracking spreadsheet

For all 30 opportunities, include:

• Website or creator name
• Working URL and contact method
• Why the audience is relevant
• Whether the opportunity is free
• Any submission requirements
• Outreach status and next action

3. Send 20 personalized outreach messages

Contact 20 suitable prospects using a professional, relevant message. Tailor each message to the recipient rather than sending generic spam.

You may introduce yourself transparently as assisting the author. Do not impersonate the author or claim a personal relationship with anyone.

4. Follow up

Send one polite follow-up to eligible contacts who have not replied, where appropriate and within the project period. Record all follow-ups in the spreadsheet.

5. Report the evidence

Provide:

• The completed spreadsheet
• A copy or screenshot of each of the 20 messages sent, including recipient and date
• Evidence of any replies or confirmed placements
• A short final report showing what was completed and what needs follow-up

Rules

• Use free promotional opportunities only.
• Do not purchase advertising, subscriptions, placements, or services.
• Do not buy reviews, arrange fake reviews, or promise positive reviews in exchange for payment.
• Do not use bots, fake engagement, spam lists, or misleading claims.
• Do not publish content or spend money without permission.
• Do not promise sales or guaranteed placements; focus on genuine outreach and verifiable work.
• Do not request access to my Amazon account or ask for passwords.
• Follow each website's submission rules and respect requests not to be contacted again.

How to apply

Please start your application with BOOK PROMOTION so I know you have read the full description.

Briefly tell me about any previous book promotion, blogger outreach, podcast outreach, or email research work you have done. If possible, include one example of a spreadsheet or outreach campaign you have completed.

I value reliability, clear communication, and proof of work over big promises.
