Instagram Growth & Short-Form Content Specialist for MMA YouTube Channel / Sports Betting Sponsorship Prep -- 2

I run a UFC/MMA-focused YouTube channel (GiulianoArgenti youtube.com/@giulianoargenti1227) 180,000 subscribers and I’m looking to make my Instagram account, @giulianoargenti, much stronger and more attractive for potential sportsbook sponsorships, specifically BetUS.

BetUS is currently focused on Instagram sponsorships, so I need someone who can take the authority, content, personality, and audience I’ve already built on YouTube and translate that into a polished, active, sponsor-ready Instagram presence.

This is not a generic social media setup job. I am not mainly looking for pixels, catalog feeds, Pinterest setup, or WordPress integration. I need someone who understands short-form video, Instagram growth, sports content, MMA/UFC culture, and ideally sports betting or regulated sponsorship content.

**Current YouTube stats:**

* 180,000 YouTube subscribers

* 15,000–20,000 average views per video over the last 30–60 days

* Live stream average concurrents: 25–50

* Audience: 71.3% male

* Age: 25–34: 38.0%, 35–44: 20.4%, 18–24: 18.7%

* 52.5% United States-based

* Audience heavily concentrated in regulated betting markets

**What I need:**

1. **Instagram profile optimization**

* Improve bio, highlights, pinned posts, link strategy, and overall positioning

* Make the account clearly communicate that it is connected to a serious 180K-subscriber MMA YouTube brand

* Position the page around UFC picks, fight breakdowns, betting angles, live reactions, and MMA personality content

2. **YouTube-to-Instagram content repurposing**

Take my existing YouTube videos and live stream content and turn them into:

* Instagram Reels

* Story sequences

* Carousel posts

* Quote cards

* Fight pick graphics

* Betting-angle clips

* PPV countdown content

* “Full breakdown on YouTube” funnel posts

3. **Sponsor-ready Instagram content system**

Create a repeatable content structure that would make sense for a sportsbook sponsor like BetUS, including:

* Fight-week Reels

* UFC prediction clips

* Underdog alerts

* Odds discussion content

* Live stream promo Stories

* Polls and engagement prompts

* Branded segment ideas that could eventually include BetUS

4. **30-day Instagram roadmap**

Provide a practical 30-day posting plan with:

* What to post daily or weekly

* Which YouTube clips should become Reels

* Which posts should be carousels

* Which Stories should run on fight week

* How to make the account look consistently active and valuable to a betting sponsor

5. **Creative templates**

Create reusable Instagram templates for:

* UFC picks

* Best bets

* Underdog alerts

* Fighter comparison posts

* Fight night reminders

* YouTube video promotion

* Live stream promotion

6. **Sponsorship positioning**

Help prepare my Instagram so that BetUS can immediately understand the value of sponsoring it. I want the account to look professional, active, MMA-specific, and aligned with a sportsbook audience.

**Important requirements:**

* Must understand Instagram Reels and short-form editing

* Must be able to repurpose long-form YouTube content into high-retention short-form clips

* Must understand MMA/UFC content or be willing to study the niche quickly

* Experience with sports, betting, fantasy sports, combat sports, or creator sponsorships is a major plus

* Must understand that betting-related content needs to be handled carefully and professionally

* Must not make reckless gambling claims or guarantee outcomes

* Must be comfortable working from my existing YouTube videos, clips, graphics, and brand identity

**First paid test project:**

For the first assignment, I want you to take one of my existing YouTube videos and create:

* 3 Instagram Reels

* 1 carousel post

* 5 Story frames

* 1 suggested caption strategy

* 1 short explanation of how this supports BetUS sponsorship positioning

If the test goes well, I would like to continue with a 30-day Instagram content buildout and possibly ongoing monthly work.

**To apply, please include:**

1. Examples of Instagram Reels, sports content, creator content, or YouTube repurposing work you’ve done

2. A short explanation of how you would turn a 10–20 minute UFC breakdown video into Instagram content

3. Your experience, if any, with sports, MMA, betting, fantasy sports, or regulated ad categories

4. Your recommended first 30 days for @giulianoargenti

5. Your price for the test project and your monthly rate for ongoing work

Please start your proposal with the phrase **“UFC REELS”** so I know you read the full post."
