Note for Eloisa
Hi Eloisa,
I thought I would share with you below, the vision I have for growing the SnS brand. There's alot I would like to do over the next couple of years so I have categorised the work tasks below. Hopefully this will help you see how the brand will continue to grow and work-tasks where you can use your strengths.
At the moment the store is still relatively new and not profitable. Once the Bunnings project is further along and most prints are imported, I will have 5 hours work a week for you. But hopefully as visibility grows, sales will increase, the store can expand into more markets, product choice can expand and there will be more and more work for you if you would like. And the potential of paying you a higher rate if things go well and you would like to continue.
I also wanted to ask, if you would like me to pay you outside of Upwork for ongoing work so that you can have the full amount? I am happy to do that. Perhaps Paypal might work for that? But if you would like to stay with Upwork for everything, that is fine with me, totally up to you.
Feel free to leave some comments here on this page or you can correspond by email if you prefer - hello@saltynsweet.com.au
For the work tasks below, I have highlighted the priority areas in orange. The blue point will be a weekly ongoing task, I am happy for you to take over that task any time when you are ready and if you want to. I think 30-60mins for preparation and posting for this task would be an adequate amount of time? The same post can be used for both pages, but posted individually. Happy to discuss.
Have a read through the below and feel free to share your thoughts and feedback where applicable.
