Title: Instagram DM Funnel Builder (ManyChat Required) – Author Brand Overview I’m an author building a thought-leadership brand focused on critical thinking and personal growth. My book has just launched, and we are building a lean acquisition engine to grow our email list and convert followers into readers. We already have a retention/email specialist managing Klaviyo flows. Now we need someone to build and optimize the Instagram → DM → Email capture system. This is a hands-on execution role focused on building a working funnel — not strategy decks. 🔹 Phase 1 (60–90 Days): Instagram Only Your focus will be building: Instagram → ManyChat DM Automation → Email Capture → Klaviyo Integration Responsibilities Build Instagram comment-trigger DM flows (e.g., “Comment CHAPTER” → automated DM sequence) Design and implement DM nurture sequences Connect ManyChat to Klaviyo with proper tagging and segmentation Ensure seamless lead magnet delivery Implement basic tracking (subscriber source tracking, UTMs if needed) Optimize follower → email conversion rate Coordinate clean handoff into existing Klaviyo flows Goal: Create a measurable, working Instagram acquisition funnel. 🔹 Phase 2 (Conditional Expansion) If Phase 1 performs well, scope may expand to: Refining conversion performance Scaling the funnel Replicating mechanics on additional platforms Improving cross-platform lead capture structure Expansion is performance-based. 🔒 Requirements Required: Proven experience building Instagram DM automation funnels using ManyChat Experience connecting DM capture to Klaviyo (or similar ESP) Ability to show previous IG comment-trigger → email funnel builds Important: We are not using GoHighLevel for this project. Experience primarily in GHL without native ManyChat/IG automation experience is not a fit. ❌ What We Are NOT Looking For A generic social media manager who schedules posts A branding consultant A pure copywriter with no automation experience An ecommerce retention-only specialist (that role is already filled) Someone learning ManyChat for the first time A strategist who delivers slides but does not build This is a build-and-optimize role. Ideal Candidate Has built DM automation funnels for creators, authors, or info brands Understands conversion psychology Thinks in terms of funnel flow and performance Comfortable working lean and moving quickly Can execute without heavy supervision Engagement Details 15–20 hours/week 60–90 day initial contract Clear milestones and deliverables Potential extension based on performance To Apply Please include: A brief description of an Instagram DM automation funnel you built Tools used Conversion results (if available) A short explanation of why you're a fit for an author-based brand Applications without direct IG DM automation experience will not be considered.
