What you'd actually do

Help Ember meet more coffee shops

Find coffee shops around Minnesota that feel like a fit, follow what they post, and start friendly conversations on Instagram. When a shop leans in, you hand them off to us. We take it from there.

1. Find shops 2. Follow & comment 3. Friendly DMs 4. Hand off

Flexible around your life

A few hours a week, whenever the kids nap or the house goes quiet. No commute, no clock to punch.

Paid for real results

You earn for every shop meeting and order you help land. A few hundred dollars per shop, and no cap.

Use your people skills

If you love connecting with people and you already live on Instagram, this is the part of you the role is built around.

Start to finish

How the role works

No commute and no phone calls. It's the same Instagram you already scroll, just pointed at something useful: helping a Minnesota roaster meet more coffee shops. Here's the whole loop, start to finish.

1

Find shops

Use Instagram to spot coffee shops around Minnesota that feel like an Ember fit. We give you a simple cheat sheet, so you're never guessing what to look for.

2

Warm them up

Follow them, like a couple of posts, leave a genuine comment now and then. The same thing you already do for the accounts you love.

3

Start a chat

When it feels natural, send a friendly DM and say hi. No scripts, but we share real examples of what's worked, so you're never staring at a blank message.

4

Hand off

When a shop seems interested, flag it and pass it to us. We handle the pricing, the samples, and the close. You never have to sell anything.

A typical week is a few short sessions on your phone, whenever it fits: a little during nap time, a few minutes in the pickup line. There's no dashboard to log into, no quota hanging over you, and a real person at Ember you can text any time you have a question.

The honest version

Low pressure, by design.

You've probably seen a hundred "make money from home, moms" pitches that turned out to be something else. This is not that, and here's exactly how you can tell.

Why this role exists

We grow best through real relationships.

Ember is a small-batch roaster in Big Lake, Minnesota. The best coffee shops we work with never came from a cold email. They came from someone genuinely connecting, one conversation at a time. That is the whole job.

We're bringing on a few motivated people who want to build this with us. You'd be one of the first, so you'd help shape how it runs. We'll show you the exact numbers on our first call, before you commit to anything.
