Growth & Outreach Intern — Work With a US Startup Founder

Only applications that fill the form at https://songtailor.co/intern-apply will be ellgible for this role.

The Company

Song Tailor is a bootstrapped, profitable US-based custom song service (songtailor.co). Customers tell us their story, and we compose + sing a fully custom song about it — delivered in 3 days. Think: a birthday song for your mom, an anniversary song for your spouse, a memorial song. We compete with companies charging 3–5x our price.

We are a team of one (the founder), profitable, and looking for our first hire to scale.

What You'll Actually Do

Micro-Influencer Outreach (40%)

• Find 50+ micro-influencers/week (10K–50K followers) on Instagram and TikTok
• Send personalized DMs/emails offering a free custom song in exchange for a reaction reel
• Pitch our affiliate program (x% commission on every sale they generate)
• Track everything: contacted → engaged → song sent → posted → revenue
• Follow up relentlessly. Most say nothing. You keep going.

Community-Driven Sales (25%)

• Spend 15–20 min/day on Reddit gift-advice threads
• Reply as a helpful person, not a brand
• Find new communities where people are actively looking to buy gifts

Direct Outreach (20%)

• Research and list potential B2B partners: wedding planners, funeral homes, real estate agents, corporate HR teams
• Draft and send cold emails/DMs for each segment
• Follow up on warm leads

Tracking & Reporting (15%)

• Maintain a simple Google Sheet of all outreach activity
• Report weekly: what you did, what worked, what didn't, what you'd try next

What You'll Learn

• Real influencer marketing (pitching, negotiating, affiliate tracking, ROI analysis)
• Community-led growth (Reddit, grassroots sales, building trust without a brand)
• How a bootstrapped US startup operates — real numbers, real decisions, no theory
• Cold outreach and sales at scale (rejection is the curriculum)

Who You Are

• You write like a human. Your English is clear and warm, not formal or textbook-ish.
• You are stubborn. 90% of outreach gets ignored. You don't take it personally. You try a different angle and keep going.
• You find people. You can scroll through an influencer's page and immediately tell if they're the right fit. You notice details.
• You have 30 hours/week reliably. This is a live business, not a class project.
• You have a phone/laptop and reliable internet. That's it.

No degree required. No experience required. I care about your writing and your grit, not your resume.
