Instagram Viral Content Copywriter

Are you the type of person who loves to scroll Instagram... and instantly spots the next big trend from viral posts that are blowing up right now?

Do you LOVE Instagram, and already spend hours scrolling on a daily basis?

Do you quickly dissect what made a post go viral and what prevented another one from doing so?

If so, keep reading—because this is not your typical "Instagram growth / plain copywriting” role.

We’re looking for someone obsessed with Instagram—someone who already spends hours a day immersed in the platform, studying content across every niche imaginable: fitness, self-development, business, faith, relationships, comedy, faceless reels, and more.

The #1 thing we care about is spotting HYPER viral content—anything that hits at least a 5:1 view-to-follower ratio (ex: A reel with 500K views on a 100K follower account)—and breaking down exactly what made it pop.

Your job is to then translate those insights into clear hooks, concepts, and copy that Richard can use to create similar content for his personal brand.

We're looking for a trend analyst with copywriting experience.
