Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a freelance SEO expert for a one-off website optimization project. Our Shopify-based DTC brand is about to launch, and we want to make sure the site is 100% optimized.

Looking for someone who can:
• Review our page-by-page website copy outline from an SEO best practices POV
• Conduct keyword research and advise on which ones to include, how many per page, and where they should be placed (H1s vs. H2s, body copy, etc.)
• Provide backend/technical SEO guidance to ensure the site is optimized from all angles (URL structure, meta tags, schema, sitemap, etc.)
• Handle basic technical SEO setup: Search Console, sitemap submission, page speed checks, mobile/responsive validation, clean URLs
• Share basic guidance on how to improve discoverability through AI tools like ChatGPT and Perplexity
This is a project-based role for freelancers/contractors. If you’re interested or know someone who might be a good fit, please DM me! No agencies, please.

Hey everyone, posting this in NY group as most growth savvy people live in the city.

--- Hiring: Freelance Growth Marketer / Micro-Agency---

We’re launching a new DTC brand at the intersection of fitness & beauty, with a unique product line that blends aesthetics and performance. Our product lines aren’t just repackaged versions of products already on the market — we’re introducing a new use case and basically creating a category that doesn’t meaningfully exist yet.

We’ve had a strong presence on Amazon for the past 3 years, but we’re now focused on building a real, long-term DTC brand — with its own site, voice, and customer base. Brand identity and Shopify site are ready — now we need a hands-on growth partner to own the marketing and take us from launch to traction.

What you’ll own:
• Full-funnel growth: strategy, execution, and optimization
• Influencer & UGC content pipeline
• Paid social (Meta focus), retention (Klaviyo), light CRO
• Managing a limited marketing budget for maximum ROI
Who we’re looking for:
• A freelancer or lean team that thrives in budget-conscious, early-stage launches
• Experience in DTC (especially in beauty, wellness, or fitness)
You’ll work directly with the founder — quick decisions, no red tape. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants real ownership, not just another client slot.
DM me if you’re interested — or feel free to forward this to someone who might be a great fit.

How does a brand just existing on Amazon launch on shopify? would it be possible to shift sales to shopify or would amazon remain dominant channel as high numbers of product reviews will be there already

Hey everyone, I own a brand that currently operates only in the Amazon space. Looking to grow my brand out of amazon and go full stack e-commerce & beyond. Looking for a boutique NY agency to help build the brand and launch website. Any recommendations ?

How can a newly launched brand with AOV 30$ survive in the D2C world ? We’re amazon only for now but trying to make the switch to D2C, but the math doesnt seem to work. We have 5 SKUs as we are a more like a product brand, product is not a consumable but it wears out so product should be re purchased every 3-4 months

Call up Turkish manufacturers, ask for samples and prices. They are best in towel production
