This is a request for the right web designer to come forward and build a career with us. We mostly use Wordpress.
Read this ALL THE WAY THROUGH...there is something to read and respond to embedded in it, so you must read it carefully BEFORE you respond.
Okay, so let’s begin.
You’re somebody who is a GREAT designer with experience who wants to grow and get REALLY good.
Our whole mission is to get people ENGAGING with us, clicking on our ads, opting in to our mailing lists and our “push” solicitations.
Our business relies upon prospective customers opting in and buying from us. Clicking on links, clicking on ads.
You’re already quite proficient as a designer and you know how to do not just responsive design, but mobile optimized design in Wordpress and PHP. You are FAST too...you get stuff done quickly.
You are really good with HTML, CSS, Javascript and want to get better at Javascript, Bootstrap, PHP...
You are also exceptionally good with easy-to-read pages, RESPONSIVE pages (everything is responsive) and also banners and banner ideas and colors.
HOPEFULLY...You’ve done direct marketing stuff before like sales letters, video sales letter pages, and pages for opt-in forms and elaborate news blogs and magazine WordPress designs.
That’s our environment.
And you will love to lay awake at night, thinking about a new opt in process improvement that could get a better opt-in percentage, or a new page design that could get much better results for people clicking on ads and clicking on house ads and responding and interacting and engaging.
You are the kind of person who just gets into something and attacks it and is 1000% into it for years at a time with an intensity that can frighten other people who are casual and don’t really care and don’t take things that seriously like you do.
Someone who loves to learn new design things and try them out....
You were the first to do responsive, the first to do mobile optimized, the first to learn something like Python or Ruby on Rails, but your first love is DESIGN and you’re FAST in html/PHP and also love
You’re super ambitious when you’re looking for a small group of like-minded guys who are as ambitious as you are to work with and learn from and support.
We have mostly Wordpress, with some PHP pages. We have a great team including a programmer, an amazing system admin, great managers and now we need a great designer.
So listen to this: your stuff is going to be advertised and millions of people are going to see it interact with it.
Also, most importantly, we are helping the world in a big way because we offer products for men and health and eating that are exceptionally important we felt over 140,000 men improve the life and fix their sex life and be happier and healthier.
If that isn’t important to you, if you are ONLY interested in design and don’t care about the products and services you are involved in...then you do not want to read further.
We REALLY CARE about our effect on the world and we want only like-minded SERIOUS people who also really
#1, the last three major jobs you’ve done, what they’ve involved, the platforms, and URLs we can look at. These must be YOURS and tell us your contribution (if you did the design but another developer worked on the rest, tell us...)
#2, the last 3 books you’ve read or courses you’ve taken on design or programming or something related technically,
#3, hobbies you enjoy that are UNRELATED to work,
#4, THREE questions about us or the job, and
#5, the hours you can work and the money you would like to see to start and eventually make in a year or three. You MUST be able to work New York city hours, so please do NOT respond if you aren't willing to work those hours. You will NOT be allowed to work other jobs, this is IT and we hope to have you for many years together.
Raises are automatic. We talk by voice EVERY DAY, so you have to be there, bright and bushy tailed, for our 9am (new york time) call.
After you pass this simple little test (responding to this ad), we'll PAY you to do a quick test showing your expertise. If you do well there, there will be a final voice interview over
Any responses that do NOT include the above will end up in /dev/null, sorry.
Okay, so let me continue...
We’re here to grow this company to $100 million company with dating, sex, ED, health and other products.
We’re still small but growing fast. Our team is about 20 people and we all work in the New York City time zone, but all over the world. We currently have a great developer in Philippines and a video editor there too.
And you will be part of this elevator to the top, near the beginning of the ascent.
And yet, we’ve been in business 20 years. Many of our team have been with us 10 years. So we are stable, growing fast, but growing smart and running smart.
For that reason, because we know how to run a business, we pay our bills immediately We pay once per week through Paypal. You MUST be able to accept Paypal. DO NOT RESPOND IF YOU DO NOT ACCEPT
We like to start you out at $480 per week, full time... if you have the track record to make more, there’s nothing that I can’t entertain or won’t listen to or won’t consider. Just make the case.
And then we expect that you grow and get paid a lot more as we go along.
You need to be able to work New York City workday hours. We have people all over the world but we all work on Eastern time. That means 8 AM or 9 AM in the morning to 5 PM or 6 PM in the evening, New York time.
Sometimes we work 50 or 60 hours per week and you would be expected to be able to keep up.
We don’t usually work on weekends or holidays, but you’re welcome to if you want to and sometimes we MUST do so.
We run ads 24 by 7 so sometimes things need to be fixed or deployed at all hours.
Yes, sometimes things come up and we have projects that require really long hours and we all pitch in and do them. You’re always paid for with every work of course.
So now in addition...
Your English skills must be PERFECT.
You must be a FAST FAST worker and a FAST typist. You are always happy to hunker down and work. But you are also happy to participate in a small team meeting, and to explain what is going on in Twist (which is like Slack but better).
You must have references we can CHECK, legitimate companies we can speak to and check out.
We make a quick decision but it is always going to depend on checking you out.
You must be happy to be super organized. Document your code. Ask questions. Always communicating with the team.
You must be ANAL about checking what needs to be done so you can deliver what is expected and making sure that each iteration is better than the last.
You must have a FAST full time high bandwidth Internet connection that is reliable. So if that is you, please respond ACCORDING to the instructions. All other responses will be /dev/nulled.
We expect you to make US$1000 per week in a year at this job. You must be a person who loves this kind of work and wants to keep getting better.
