I run a small Amazon KDP portfolio and need a content/SEO operator (or small team) to build one website per author and grow organic traffic that converts into Amazon book sales + free email subscribers (paid later). The sites will also become brand assets for scaling social traffic (TikTok) later this year.
Authors:
- Author 1: recipes / diet cookbooks
- Author 2: personal finance / investing books
Markets / languages:
Each author site should target profitable KDP markets with a multilingual approach (Germany, USA, France, Spain, Italy, etc.).
Operating model:
To keep maintenance costs low, I expect the workflow to be ~70% AI-assisted + ~30% human review/editing (quality, accuracy, compliance). Your budget/timing should reflect this.
Goals:
- 1 website per author
- Multilingual expansion into relevant markets
- SEO growth engine (topical clusters + internal linking)
- Direct audience via email list building (lead magnet + capture + simple sequence)
- Distribution:
- Recipe site: Pinterest (weekly pins)
- Finance site: Twitter/X (weekly posts)
Site requirements (must feel like a real brand, not thin affiliate):
Core pages:
- Home
- About/Author
- Start Here/Pillar page(s)
- Blog
- Privacy Policy + Affiliate Disclosures
Content types:
1) SEO articles (reader queries, topical clusters)
2) Lightweight news/updates workflow (AI-assisted + human reviewed)
3) Book comparison pages (author books vs competitors) with Amazon referral links, written to build trust
Lead magnet + email capture:
A compelling offer to trade a free/heavily discounted book for email signup (and optionally onboarding emails) + testimonials/reviews. Must be compliant (no shady review gating).
Note:
A paid newsletter will be added later, but is out of scope for now.
Scope and deliverables:
Phase 1: Setup (target ~2/3 weeks; you propose the real estimate)
- Site structure + multilingual rollout plan (which languages first and why)
- Build core pages
- Lead magnet + email capture (forms + landing page)
- Publish 4–8 starter SEO posts per site
- Create comparison templates + publish initial comparison pages
- Internal linking + basic SEO hygiene
- Measurement setup: email signups, Amazon outbound clicks, ranking lift/impressions (Search Console)
Phase 2: Ongoing (weekly per author)
- 1 post/week (new or refresh)
- Maintain internal linking + cluster expansion
- Pinterest (recipe): minimum 5–10 fresh pins/week (templates + scheduling)
- X (finance): minimum 5–7 posts/week (repurpose articles + 1 mini-thread/week)
- Monthly report: what shipped, what moved, next plan
Required skills:
- SEO strategy + execution (clusters, internal linking, search intent)
- Strong editing (polish AI drafts)
- Amazon affiliate content + disclosures
- Ability to run a lightweight news workflow without low-quality content
- Basic funnel building (lead magnet, capture, CTAs)
Nice to have:
- Multilingual SEO experience (EN/DE/FR/ES/IT)
- Pinterest ops (templates, scheduling, iteration)
- Twitter/X repurposing from blog posts
- WordPress/Webflow + email tools (MailerLite/ConvertKit/etc.)
To apply (1 page max):
Please send a proposal with:
1) Packages/pricing
- Phase 1 (Setup, 2 weeks): fixed price or hour estimate + total cost
- Phase 2 (Ongoing): hours/month + monthly retainer (or fixed deliverables)
2) Timeline: what you can deliver by Day 7, Day 14, and Month 1
3) Deliverables list (pages, posts, comparison pages, email assets, languages)
4) Team and roles (if agency)
5) Assumptions / what you need from me (tools, access, affiliate IDs, etc.)
6) 2–3 relevant references/case studies (links)
7) If you have a smarter approach, challenge the plan and explain why
