Full job description

Author Assistant

100% remote, 20-40 hour a week role helping inspire people to live happier, more intentional lives.

Hello!

My name is Neil and I’m a writer, podcaster, and speaker.

(Full bio here: https://www.neil.blog/about-neil)

Spiking anxiety, tech-infused addictions, rising loneliness, and plummeting trust make life challenging for many. I have spent >15 years trying to infuse positivity into the puddle of overwhelm.

I started because I needed it. I still do! And I need help.

I’m looking for someone speedy, tech-savvy, literary, hyper-organized, fun, and excited by wild and unpredictable requests at wild and unpredictable times.

It’d be great if you were good at Notion, Squarespace, ConvertKit, Twitter Advanced Search, Instagram, YouTube, Dropbox, and Google Docs. Or at least some of them! Or at least confident learning them with YouTube videos!

You will:

1. Help manage my newsletters. I have four! A daily awesome thing, bi-weekly blog post, monthly podcast letter, and monthly book recommendations. You will help source content, think of links, proofread, upload to ConvertKit, be ‘first eyes and last eyes’, post everything on my site, etc.

2. Help manage my social media. You will stay in-tune with what the quarter-million people we speak to daily need and want. You will be deeply intimate with all my content so you can splice, remix, and help rewrite. You may plan and propose posts. (Note: I also have a design / graphics person who you will help manage.)

3. Help manage my podcast. You will research prospective guests, write detailed show notes, prepare and edit audio / video files and transcripts, be ‘first listener’ and propose edits, brainstorm titles, etc. (Note: I also have a podcast editor who you will help manage.)

4. Help manage … other. There is always a grab bag full of wild requests. “Can you pull anything I’ve written on topic X on this ‘trust book’ I’ve been working on for 7 years – and tell me what the gaps are?” “Can you have books waiting for me in each of these three hotels next week?”, “Can you manage, organize, and send creative gifts to X, Y, and Z?”, “Can you propose three people we should interview on super-niche topic X?”, “I am stranded in Detroit – can you help get me home?” etc, etc.

Please email me your resume along your tweet-length answers to i) What are your 3 most formative books?, ii) What are the last 3 podcast episodes you listened to (and what did you take from them)?, and iii) How do you organize your bookshelf or computer or inbox (pick one)?

Lastly, please make the subject of your email I AM AWESOME plus a short alliterative phrase that describes you.

Again, I would like this all emailed to me. I only have one work email address and nobody checks it but me.

Hope to hear from you!

Neil
