Is it worth the money and time to hire yourself a boss on Upwork as a content creator?
Let’s find out, shall we?
This is the Job Description For The Boss I Hired on Upwork
I’m a new content creator and I need to hire a boss for myself.
These are the job requirements:
- meet with me on a video call once per week for 30 minutes
- bring ZERO distractions, ramblings, or small talk to these meetings
- cut me off and redirect me to the checklist (described below) when I bring in a distraction, rambling, or small talk to the meeting
- have an all-business vibe, a face that looks that way
- have an enthusiastic and cheerful side that gets to emerge occasionally
- take notes of what I say I will do by next week during the call and start our next call with asking what I have done from the list
- I will pay $15 each week for these 30 minutes of your time
- I will need to meet on a video call with you for about 5 minutes to determine if you’d be a good boss-nothing fancy, staged, well-lit, or formal. Just a quick intro.
- There will be no other duties associated with this job so you should spend exactly 30 minutes each week doing it
- If I cancel a meeting, I still have to pay you $15. Mention eddie candy in your reply. If you cancel a meeting, you have to pay me $1, unless you are cancelling because you are quitting.
- This isn’t a joke. I seriously need the non-friend-based accountability. This is not a single’s ad either.
- I’m trying this for one month, so 4 sessions
- If it’s successful, I’d like to continue it indefinitely
