SEM help for startup Internet Marketing company that is growing

I have a new local internet marketing agency which is quickly outgrowing the time I have to do the SEM myself. I need an assistant who will work closely with me to accomplish my company's goals. I need someone who is familiar with Local SEM (signing up accounts for classifieds, directory listings, article submissions, etc. and submitting those) and can follow my directions and collaborate with me using their experience and mine. If you haven't done Local SEM but are familiar with SEM/SEO, I will explain the differences in my strategies. Some of this work is data entry for the directory submissions? and some will require basic writing skills. Backlinking knowledge is required. Keyword research experience is a plus. Someone who has the experience to work more independently is another plus. Good English writing skills are a requirement. This project may start out part-time (20+ hrs) but will quickly grow to full-time work. This job will involve clients of all categories and should be interesting as far as learning about many types of industries. There may be an opportunity in the future to specialize in certain niches. ## Deliverables As a local internet marketer, I do not focus on page rank. I focus on getting a client on the first page of the search engines (Google, Yahoo, ...). The website and pages may or may not be ranked. That is why I didn't check those areas above. The focus is to get on the first page using off-site methods.
