Social Media VA: TikTok & Instagram Video Research (Full-Time, Long-Term)

Social Media VA: TikTok & Instagram Video Research (Full-Time, Long-Term)

Pay: $ ---------- /month, full-time, paid every 2 weeks. Bonus for fast, accurate weeks.

Hi! We're Kinroot, a health brand for women aged 45–70. Our video team makes ads every day using short real-life clips, and we need a VA to find those clips for them.

THE JOB IN ONE SENTENCE
We give you a list of short video moments we need, like "an older woman looking worried at her hair in the mirror". You find real videos on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube that show exactly that, download them, cut out the 2–5 seconds we need, and save them in Google Drive with the right file names.

WHAT YOU'LL DO EVERY DAY

• Get a list from us in Slack (each line = one video moment we need)
• Search TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube, Facebook and ---------- for videos that match each line
• Download them in HD without the TikTok or Instagram watermark (we'll show you the free websites to use)
• Trim each one to the best 2–5 seconds
• Name each file the way the list says, e.g. M1-04.mp4, and upload it to the right Google Drive folder
• Post a short "done" message in Slack at the end of the day
• Once you're trained: 60–100 clips a day

THIS JOB IS PERFECT FOR YOU IF

• You're on TikTok and Instagram every day and you're great at finding things
• You notice small details (the right age of person, a watermark in the corner, a blurry video)
• You're organised and like things named and filed neatly
• You can follow a written list on your own without needing a call for every task

WHAT WE NEED

• A laptop and fast, reliable internet
• Good English (reading our lists and chatting in Slack)
• Available full-time, Monday to Friday, and replies in Slack during working hours
• You can download a video and trim it (any free tool is fine; CapCut is a plus)
• No video editing experience needed. We'll train you

OUR QUALITY RULES (the most important part of this job)

• The clip must show EXACTLY what the line says
• Most clips need women aged 50–70: grey hair, real mums and grandmothers. No young influencers
• Real-life phone videos only. Nothing that looks like stock footage or an ad
• Sharp and clear (1080p), no watermarks, no usernames, no brand logos

HOW TO APPLY
1. Start your application with the word SOCKMARKS, so we know you read everything
2. Tell us in 1–2 sentences how you would download a TikTok video without the watermark
3. SHORT TEST (30–45 minutes): find these 5 clips, trim each to 2–5 seconds, name them exactly like this and send ONE Google Drive folder link:
T1.mp4: a woman aged 55+ looking at her thinning hair in a mirror
T2.mp4: swollen ankles with deep sock marks
T3.mp4: a clump of hair in a shower drain
T4.mp4: a grandmother (60+) playing with a young grandchild outside
T5.mp4: a woman aged 55+ getting out of bed at night to use the bathroom

We only review applications with the test. If yours is great, we'll invite you to start.
