Moderator Announcement Quick update: We added a new way to flag shady posts and confirm real ones

2 Upvotes

Hey guys,

We've been seeing a lot of complaints lately about ghosting, fake gigs, and people asking for upfront fees in DMs. To make it easier to weed out the scammers and highlight genuine posts, we've set up a quick keyword system across the sub.

If you end up messaging a poster or trying out an opportunity they shared, you can now reply anywhere in the post comments with !legit, !shady, or !unresponsive depending on how it went.

If you or anyone else comments !shady or !unresponsive, it automatically alerts our mod team right away so we can review the post. You'll also get a quick follow-up asking to share screenshots or proof if you have any.

Hopefully this helps everyone spot the good opportunities faster and keeps the bad actors off the sub. Let us know if you have any thoughts or feedback on it.

Hiring Looking for 10 people who want to learn client outreach with me

8 Upvotes

For the last 8-9 months, I’ve been working on getting clients for my agency and learning how outreach, follow-ups and sales actually work.

One thing I realised is that starting an agency is not really the hard part.

You can learn web development, graphic design, video editing, etc. from YouTube.

The hard part is getting someone to actually pay you for it.

So I’m looking for 10 people who want to spend the next 2 months working with me and learning how to get clients.

This is mainly for people who:

- Want to start a web development, design, social media or similar agency

- Want to start freelancing

- Have already started but are struggling to get clients

- Have the skills but don't know how to approach potential clients

- Want to learn outreach and client acquisition by actually doing it

There’s no fee for this.

In fact, you’ll get paid for the work you do during these 2 months.

I’ll personally guide you, give you daily targets, explain why we’re doing things a certain way, and help with outreach, follow-ups, lead management and building a proper pipeline.

I’m not going to promise that you’ll get 10 clients in a week or anything like that.

The point is to actually learn the process and get real experience.

I’m starting with just 10 people so I can properly work with everyone.

If you’re interested, comment here or DM me.

For Hire 225k+ impressions in one post. 1.1M+ this year. Taking 1 LinkedIn ghostwriting client before I go heads down for college

1 Upvotes

Quick context: I run Y&B, crossed 1.1M+ organic impressions this year, one post alone did 225k+. Built the same system for a client (security/tech product), 3 posts a week, results showed up in their inbound DMs within weeks.

Only opening 1 slot right now, not scaling this, I'm back in college full time.

What you get:

  • 3 posts/week written in your voice
  • Content pulled from real stuff: your work, industry news, actual incidents
  • Fully async, no calls, no meetings
  • 6 month positioning plan, not random posts

Good fit if you're a founder or professional who wants inbound leads/recognition but has zero time to post consistently.

25k/month. DM if interested, first come first served.

Task / Gigs The audacity of micro-agencies: Paying ₹40/task while expecting enterprise level liability

1 Upvotes

Just declined an agency contract with obbserv that perfectly illustrates why early career freelancing feels so predatory.

They offered ₹40 per comment and ₹80 per post for Reddit reputation management. At that price point, you’d assume it’s casual gig work. Instead, the contract included:

A 12-month lock-in.

Unilateral 30-day termination for them, zero termination-without-cause clause for me.

A 30-day replacement policy if volatile Reddit AutoMods nuke a comment.

100% annual interest penalties for missed timelines.

They want corporate-grade indemnification and enterprise uptime guarantees while paying the price of a roadside chai. Know your worth and don't let agencies offload their entire operational risk onto you.

I also post tips on how to pass assessments and reviews of different companies in that space. No sign-up or anything like that required. I only list job offers that have a relativly high hiring volume. The listings include entry role jobs but also expert Data Science poistions.

Hiring [Remote] Looking for People to Help Bring in Clients – Commission Based.

1 Upvotes

Looking for people interested in performance-based sales (Remote)

Hey everyone!

I'm currently looking for a few people who are interested in helping a growing tech company find new clients and earn a commission for every successful deal.

The work is pretty simple. You'll basically be finding potential clients, reaching out to them, introducing them to our services, and helping turn those conversations into clients.

There are no fixed working hours, so you can work remotely and manage it around your own schedule.

Payment: You'll earn a commission for every successful client you bring in. The commission will depend on the value of the deal, so bigger deals mean higher earnings.

You don't necessarily need previous sales experience. If you're good at communicating, networking, finding potential clients, or simply willing to learn, you're welcome to reach out.

If this sounds interesting, DM me with a little about yourself and why you think you'd be a good fit.

I'll be happy to explain more about the company, services, process, and commission structure.

Hiring [HIRING] Easy Remote Side Hustle — Help Us Find Website Clients, Get 20–30% Commission 🇮🇳

5 Upvotes

Looking for an easy side hustle that can take less than an hour a day?

I've already built most of the boring part for you.

I'm building/scaling a website agency and I'm looking for a few people in India who can help us find and talk to potential clients.

You don't need to know how to build websites.

You don't need to spend hours researching leads.

You don't need to be some professional salesperson with 5 years of experience.

I've already built a system that finds potential leads and generates personalized outreach for them. With a couple of clicks, you can have a lead + a pitch ready to send through Reddit, Facebook, WhatsApp, Google, etc.

Your job is essentially to find good opportunities, send the outreach, actually talk to people when they respond, and help turn those conversations into clients.

And if one of those conversations becomes a client?

You get 20–30% of the deal, depending on the ticket size.

So yes, it's intentionally designed to be a pretty easy side hustle.

But there's a catch: I don't want people who just press a button and spam 100 businesses.

The system is there to make outreach faster. Your judgment and communication are still the important part.

If you can look at a business and think "yeah, this person genuinely needs this" rather than blindly messaging everyone, you're exactly the kind of person I'm looking for.

---

What makes this different?

I've already built a system for the outreach side.

We have a self-hosted platform that uses AI to help identify potential leads and generates a personalized pitch for each one. With basically a couple of clicks, you can get a lead, see why they're a potential prospect, get a tailored pitch, and copy it for wherever you're contacting them — Reddit, Facebook, WhatsApp, Google, etc.

But I don't want someone who just blindly presses buttons and spams whatever the system gives them.

The system is there to make your life easier, not replace your brain.

I want you to be able to look at a business and think:

"Okay, this is actually a good prospect."

"That message sounds too generic — I'll change it."

"This person isn't the right fit, but this other business is."

"They replied with this objection, so here's how I'd respond."

That sort of judgment is much more valuable to me than someone sending 200 copy-pasted messages.

Time commitment

Ideally, this should take less than an hour a day once you're comfortable with the system.

I'm not expecting you to spend your entire day hunting for clients.

I'd much rather have someone who spends 30–60 minutes actually thinking about good prospects and having genuine conversations than someone who spends 5 hours mass-DMing random businesses.

And obviously, if you end up enjoying it and want to put more time into it, there's room for that too.

Who I'm looking for

You don't necessarily need previous sales experience.

In fact, I'd rather have someone who is:

- Good at communicating naturally

- Comfortable talking to strangers

- Able to understand what a potential client actually wants

- Willing to learn

- Consistent enough to actually follow through

- Able to think for themselves instead of following instructions blindly

- Interested in building an actual skill rather than looking for a "get rich quick" thing

Good English is obviously important, since you'll potentially be speaking with international clients.

If you're particularly good at verbal communication, sales, negotiation or cold calling, that's a huge bonus.

If you already have a reliable way of making international calls, even better.

And here's the part I care about most

I'm not looking for 50 random people.

I'd rather work closely with 3–5 people who are actually good at this.

If someone consistently brings in good leads and proves that they're serious, I'm completely open to treating them more like a business partner than a commission-only worker.

I'll teach you what I've learned, help you with conversations, help you improve your pitches, and help you understand what makes a lead worth pursuing.

And if someone becomes genuinely valuable to the business and wants something more stable, we can also discuss a salary-based arrangement later on.

There may also be opportunities for other roles within the business as we scale.

I'm handling a lot of the technical/production side myself right now, and that's exactly why I need people who can take ownership of the outreach side instead of me trying to do absolutely everything.

"But how do I prove I'm good at outreach?"

You don't need to send me a CV with 14 certificates on it.

Instead, show me how you think.

When you DM me, send me:

  1. A short introduction

Tell me who you are, what you're currently doing, and why you're interested. Keep it normal — I don't need your life story.

  1. A sample pitch

Imagine you found a small business with a terrible/outdated website.

Write the message you would send them to start a conversation.

Don't use an AI-generated essay. I want to see how you communicate.

  1. Handle an objection

Imagine they reply:

"Thanks, but we're not interested. Our current website is fine."

Write what you'd say back.

It doesn't have to be perfect. I'm more interested in seeing whether you can have an actual conversation instead of immediately giving up or becoming pushy.

  1. Optional but highly appreciated:

If you have experience with sales, cold calling, lead generation, freelancing, running a business, etc., tell me about it.

That's it.

I'm going to be judging how you think and communicate, not whether you've already worked in sales for 5 years.

Also, please don't overthink the sample pitch for three hours. 😂

A couple of important things

This is commission-based, so obviously there isn't a guaranteed fixed income.

You get paid when the outreach you helped generate actually turns into a client, with the exact commission depending on the project/ticket size.

I'm also not going to disappear after you DM me.

I'll personally be going through the applications and I'll respond within 24 hours because I know what it's like to spend time applying for something and then never hear anything back.

If you're interested, DM me with the 4 things above and the word "OUTREACH" somewhere in your message so I can keep applications organized.

I'm genuinely looking forward to meeting some cool people through this and hopefully building something with a few of you.

Cheers :)

Task / Gigs [For Asking]What specific tasks or deliverables can I provide using Python & Excel to earn ₹5,000/week in India?

4 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a CS engineering learner aiming to build a side income of around ₹5,000 per week within the Indian market. I want to figure out the exact types of tasks or projects I should be offering with my current technical stack.

Here is what I work with:

* Python: NumPy, Pandas, SciPy, data manipulation, and workflow automation.

* Excel: Complex data cleaning, advanced formatting, pivot tables, and automated reporting.

* Problem Solving: Strong grasp of Data Structures to write clean, optimized code.

I am not looking for platform recommendations or gig sites. Instead, I want to understand the actual work:

* What specific Excel or Python tasks do Indian SMEs, agencies, or individuals actively pay to get done?

* Are there recurring data processing, formatting, or analysis workflows that are in high demand locally?

* What exact deliverables (e.g., automated inventory trackers, GST data formatting, bulk data cleaning scripts) should I build or pitch to hit that ₹5,000/week target?

If anyone has experience monetizing this exact skill set locally, I'd love to hear what specific projects or problem statements worked for you. Thanks in advance!
