In 2022, TheMinCave launched as a Telegram group for writers and content marketers. It's now curating jobs at scale and creating resources for content professionals.
We've been free since launch, serving 10,000+ writers and marketers. I'm restructuring the business model and need help keeping the community engaged while I rebuild. So, I'm looking to bring on a few smart people for the next phase, starting with a social media intern.
your job
Manage social posting across LinkedIn, Threads, and Substack:
- Repurpose content at scale (articles → LinkedIn posts → Threads threads → Substack snippets)
- Post daily and weekly job roundups using our templates
- Create original content from industry observations
- Build and maintain the content calendar
- Design simple graphics and visual assets (Canva-level)
- Spot content gaps
Success looks like: consistent, quality output across all three platforms while I focus on product. Responsibilities may shrink or expand as we go.
what I'm looking for
Must Have:
- Genuine interest in TheMinCave (follow us, read The Roundup, understand our audience).
- Strong writing samples showing punchy, conversational voice. If you have your own Substack a personal blog or a business with social media presence, it's a plus.
- Good taste in writing and creators (I want to know who you follow and why).
- Some experience with content scheduling (Buffer or manual)
- Basic Canva skills
- Research skills. Knowing how to turn data into a story.
Nice to Have:
- Other content marketing or writing community memberships
- Familiarity with job boards
- A portfolio of social posts
- AI curiosity (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.)
Mindset:
- Goal-driven: you understand that every post has a purpose
- Proactive and curious: you spot gaps, suggest ideas, and learn from data all on your own.
- Excellence-driven: you cringe at typos and sloppy work
- Funny: you get our playful, direct voice
- Creative: You can spin up beautiful stories from boring data.
- Collaborative: you welcome feedback and work well with others
what you get
This internship is unpaid, but here's what I'm offering to make it worth your while.
- Free access to all TheMinCave products while you're working.
- Mentorship: 1 hour weekly for strategy training and live feedback. Rest is async.
- Learning: You'll learn how to iterate on analytics, find what works, and how to discard ideas that don't.
- Experiments: Brand and content guides, AI workflows, and image/video design.
- Autonomy: You own all three platforms with full creative control. Drafts get approval for 60–90 days, then you post independently. You figure out best posting times through testing.
- Career capital after 90 days: Letter of recommendation or testimonial, multi-platform case study for your portfolio, potential path to paid role.
90-Day Goals:
- Consistent posting across all three platforms with zero missed weeks
- Growing engagement (saves, comments, shares, replies)
- Content calendar system that scales
- Clear sense of what performs on each platform and why
