Independent Contractor for Google Ads Writing, Services, and Support for Nonprofit Clients

Are you a Google Ads writer looking for a more meaningful career with flexible hours and fully remote work? How about a career that helps non-profits grow and do good work around the country and the world?

  • Remote from anywhere in the USA / work from home
  • Full-time equivalent or part-time position (see below for details)
  • Hourly starting wage of $25-$30
  • Company with a close-knit, diverse team of about 20 people from across the country
  • US Based Applicants Only
  • See ‘Who we Seek’ and 'Requirements' about desired skills and experience below

Who We Seek: We seek someone who has 1-3 years of work experience with Google Ads, passion to serve the nonprofit sector, comfort with spreadsheets, excellent attention to detail, and eagerness to learn new things — especially our proprietary system for how to write ads and manage clients. 

PromoterMotor.com, a division of Bashpole Software, Inc. seeks hands-on ad-writers as account managers to take in new customers, set up their accounts, write ad campaigns, improve ads over time, prepare reports, hold monthly meetings to speak with clients, hold occasional meetings to renew existing clients’ contracts, provide customer support, and manage interns that participate in our marketing services and company activities. By analogy, think about the roles that rhyme and rhythm can play in poetry: if you are both nuanced with language and enjoy the way that structure can help creativity flourish, then this position might be excellent for you. Your responsibilities will grow in importance as our software relieves mundane tasks, allowing you to focus on the strategic and creative thinking that only humans can do. 

Responsibilities:

  • Write advertisements and manage accounts via Google Ads on the behalf of nonprofit clients 
  • Keeping track of key aspects of client accounts and preferences via provided spreadsheets.
  • Working heavily with spreadsheets for ad templates, account data, reports, case studies, progress tracking, and more
  • Attend and lead monthly meetings with clients for the management of their organization’s Google Ad Grant account 
  • Use a wide variety of Google products, including but limited to Google Ads, Tag Manager, Analytics, Marketing Platform, Sheets, Docs, Drive, and Meet.
  • Use our PromoterMotor software and improve its data.
  • Help to make sure the software is operating correctly, and make suggestions about how we can improve the software’s design

Regarding hourly wage, the starting point will be $25 to $30 per hour, with plans to offer increases based on annual reviews up to a maximum of around $35/hour for this position. 

*Note: We are currently interviewing applicants to join the team on an “as-needed” basis and have the opportunity to eventually grow into a full-time role. Our client base is growing, so we want our team of Ad writers to expand as well. At this time our aim is to go through the interview process now and stay in touch with qualified candidates who could continue to the position as advertised later this year.

For a part-time role, the time commitment for this position will start at around 12 to 24 hours per month, with additional hours becoming available as we gain clients. Full-time equivalent hours will be dependent on when we gain sufficiently many clients. Recently, we've been gaining new clients weekly. Our aim is to start on a part-time basis, grow into the full hours available (a maximum of about 172 hours a month or 40 hours a week), and continue to work together for years to come. Discuss this with us during an interview.
