Working With Moran
Content & Brand Operating Guide

The goal of this role

For the next 3, 6 and 12 months, Kasia runs the content herself and learns every part of the job: research, briefs, the editors, posting, ads and the numbers. As content brings in clients and revenue grows, the goal is to hire someone (a videographer / creative director) who takes all of it over. Kasia then hands it off and is free to move into something else, or whatever she wants to do next.

How content and brand work runs at Acquisitions.com: the priorities, where content comes from, how Moran is involved, and how results are measured.

The brand is Acquisitions.com and Moran Pober together. Moran is one voice among several; the content operation runs every day, whether or not he records that week.

Priorities

In this order. When two things compete, the higher one wins.

Clients first, then the brand, then polish 1 Clients and cash flow Bring in advisory clients, done-for-you clients and investors. Every piece leads to a booked call or the community. 2 Moran Pober's personal brand Steady growth in reach and followers on his own accounts. 3 Quality and polish Grows with revenue, step by step toward Greg LaVecchia's face-to-camera quality.

On quality: the direction is Greg LaVecchia's face-to-camera look (lighting, framing, sound, clean edits). Get there one upgrade at a time, never at the cost of posting every day.

Where we're going

From a few posts a week today to a two-channel media operation, modelled on Hormozi and Dan Martell.

From 3 posts a day to 53, and calls booked rising every week A post = one short video (a Short or Reel) or one text post, on one platform. Five platforms: YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, X; one Short on all five = 5 posts. Floor from day one: at least 1 video and 1 text post go out every day.

Content sources

Five sources feed every account. Only the first needs Moran's time; the other four should carry most of the volume.

How Moran is involved

One recording session a week. Moran chooses the day, the place and the format; the output targets stay the same either way.

One prepared session a week, in any shape Moran chooses The weekly session 3–6 hours, prepared in advance Office Outside A quick update on his phone His call each week 1 long videoFor the main channel; cut into clips and Shorts 10–15 short answersQuestions from sales calls and messages, under 60 seconds each 1 unscripted updateThe deals he's working on, people he's meeting, the numbers The rest of the week: no extra shoots.More content comes from the library, testimonials, AI characters and advisors. Moran's time goes to live deals and real numbers.

Retargeting ads

Facebook and Instagram retargeting, shown to people who have already watched or engaged, is part of this role. Moran sets the weekly budget; selection and testing sit with you.

The best content becomes ads; ads are judged on cost per booked call Content postedevery day, every account People watcha warm audience builds Retargeting adsbest Shorts + testimonials Booked callswarm, ready to talk Every week: new ads from the strongest content, weak ads paused, lessons feed the next content

Text posts from every video

Every video also becomes written posts for LinkedIn and X (Twitter), posted under Moran's name at fixed times. They cost no filming, and they show which ideas land before they become videos.

One video becomes a week of written posts One long videoor a Short, or a call 3–5 LinkedIn postshook, 3–6 short lines, one question One-liners and threads on Xthe best single line, or a short thread The Short on LinkedIn toowith a one-line caption Lines that landgo on the list forMoran's next session Per day: LinkedIn 1 → 2 → 2–3 and X 1 → 3 → 3–5 (month 1 → month 3 → month 12).

Comment-to-get posts (LinkedIn first)

At least once or twice a week, a post that offers one of our free tools: "Comment ROLLUP and I'll send you the calculator." Everyone who comments gets the link in a reply or a message, and each comment pushes the post to more people.

Lead magnets to rotate:

Finding new formats: one new test every week

Part of the job is research. Study the creators below and any great video you see, and turn it into formats we can make without Moran, or with five minutes of his time. Face-to-camera he does on his own; this is for everything else.

Every week: research, pick, make, test, keep what works 1. RESEARCH Inspiration accounts,famous creators, anyvideo worth copying 2. PICK 5–6 video ideas aweek, each with theexample it copies 3. MAKE IT Kasia makes it, orbriefs the editor.Moran: 0–5 minutes 4. TEST 1 new formatlive every week 5. KEEP Winners becomea weekly series;losers stop "Winner" = more booked calls or link clicks than our usual Short, then views. Same measures as the next section.
Formats that need little or nothing from MoranMoran's time
B-roll (ours, stock or AI) with text on top: one idea, 5–8 short linesNone
AI-image Stories (see the Cameron England example at the bottom)None (his face only with his OK)
Testimonial and library re-cuts with a new hook and captionsNone
Screen recordings: a real listing, the calculator, a deal's numbers, with captionsNone
Carousels and text posts made from a long videoNone
Voice-over on B-roll: Moran records 30–60 seconds of audio on his phone5 minutes
Green-screen or reaction: Moran reacts to a news headline or a listing5 minutes

Each idea gets a one-line brief for the editor: the example video's link, our hook, the B-roll or footage to use, and the call to action. Kasia sends the 5–6 ideas to Moran on Monday; he only answers "yes" or "no".

How results are measured

Reported every Monday, in this order. Comments, likes and replies are worth reading for ideas, but they are not measures of success.

What counts: from views down to clients Views, all accounts~10K a week today → 100K in 3 months → 1M in 12 Clicks to booking or the communitya tracked link per account, video and ad Calls booked from contentthe number that matters most Clientsthe closer logs how they found us

Also tracked: new followers on Moran Pober's own accounts (+25% in 3 months, 2× in 12).

Output targets, per day

Posts per day across all accounts. Every Short also goes to Instagram and TikTok the same day.

Plus at least one long video a week on Moran's main channel, and new retargeting ads every week.

Getting started, and every week after

Weeks 1–2: set up

  • Access to Instagram (added as a user), YouTube Studio, TikTok, LinkedIn, X, the editors' channel and the shared Drive. Logins are shared by Moran directly, not over chat
  • Install Claude Desktop and learn to use it for research, scripts, captions and planning. When unsure how to do something, ask Claude first
  • Review the library: shortlist the strongest past videos
  • Find all client testimonials and pick the best to cut first
  • Set up the editor: work with an existing editor or hire a new one on Upwork. Moran shows the process he used before
  • Learn Meta Business Manager and Ads Manager: how to duplicate a retargeting ad and upload a new video into it
  • Get the list of our lead magnets and tools to use in posts
  • Run Moran's first recording session (scripts are ready)

Every week after that

  • New testimonial videos for retargeting
  • New Shorts: 3 a day
  • New retargeting ads up, weak ones paused
  • New text posts on LinkedIn and X
  • Briefs and feedback to the editors
  • Quality kept high on everything that goes out
  • Monday report to Moran

From week 3, optional: AI characters and AI-made Shorts, if you want to build them. Tools to start with: Fastlane (AI marketing agent: builds ads and organic content, posts to Meta, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube). For real (human) influencers making content for us: Trybe (Lukas Pakter), creators paid on performance.

Optional add-on: getting Moran on stage

Once the weekly engine runs. Based on Dan Martell's model ("Get Paid $10K to Speak, Then Make $40K More"): one talk becomes paid exposure, a day of content, and sales conversations. He says the back end is often 3–4× the speaking fee.

1. BOOKKasia finds andpitches events 2. FILMHire a localvideographer (~$500) 3. GIFT"DM me ROLLUPfor the calculator" 4. CLIPTalk, Q&A andhallway → Shorts 5. FOLLOW UPEvery DM getsa call offer
Kasia's partMoran's part
  • Find events: start in Cyprus (Limassol and Nicosia business, investor and founder events, chambers of commerce, EO/YPO chapters), then Dubai, Europe and the US. Podcasts count too.
  • Pitch with a one-page speaker sheet and a short speaker reel (cut from the first talk).
  • Ask for the slot just before a break, and 10–15 minutes for Q&A: the Q&A gives the best clips.
  • Book a local videographer for the day: two cameras, footage handed over the same day.
  • Run the gift keyword and the follow-up; clip the talk, the Q&A and the hallway chats.
  • One talk, the same every time (15 to 60 minutes): "How to buy a business, and why boring businesses become worth 3× more inside a group".
  • Show up, give the talk, stay in the hallway at the break.

Start free or travel-paid to build the reel; ask for fees once there is footage and an audience. The gift is a free tool (calculator, checklist), never an investment offer.

Add-on goal: building the team

How Kasia grows this into a team and hands it over (see "The goal of this role" at the top). Based on Sam Goudet, creative director behind Dan Martell's brand, who grew it to ~13M followers with a team of 13–17 (interview).

StepWhat to do
1. Start small, many hatsCreative director at the top (Kasia now), then three people who each do a whole job end to end: short-form (idea → edit → post), long-form (edits and thumbnails), text (LinkedIn, X, email, SMS). Hire the fewest people possible: every extra person multiplies the back-and-forth.
2. Money decides the orderAround $10K a month: hire an agency first, short-form first (fastest feedback: several posts a day vs one long video a week). More budget: hire in-house too, and pair each hire with an agency for a year to learn its playbooks. The in-house person drives the agency, not the other way round.
3. Hand off in this orderFirst give away filming, then project management. Keep ideas, directing and the final "OK to post" longest: those move results the most.
4. Ideas are the jobThe best person sits on ideas. Everyone on the team pitches ideas weekly. Ideas come from people who know Moran, never from an outside VA with no filter.
5. Onboard the next personFirst 1–2 months: watch 80–90 pieces of Moran's content and write notes on what he stands for. Keep a "Moran brain": a Claude project loaded with his videos, posts and calls, used to find stories and check scripts.
6. Containers, not extra shootsFilm what Moran already does: client calls, events, talks, Q&A. Give people a question format ("name, business size, your bottleneck") so every answer is a clip. Before a shoot: chat first, quiet room, nod and react while he talks. Dan Martell films only 2–3 hours a week this way.
7. Simple project boardOne board with a column per step (idea → script → shoot → edit → review → posted → numbers). Every column has one owner who moves the card on; moving a card pings the next owner. Keep it simple enough that people use it.
8. Hiring testHard skills (editing, design, readable text), platform knowledge ("which 5 creators do you follow?"), and real team situations (an editor late three weeks in a row: what do you do?).

The long game: help beginners for free and mix wide, easy content with deal-ready content. Goodwill compounds; the free content is what makes people book the call a year later.

Ground rules

Our own accounts only.No rented or bought accounts; platforms ban them, and a ban can reach Moran's accounts too.
Real numbers only.Any client result or dollar figure on screen must match the client's own interview.
Teach, never solicit.We explain how deals work; we never ask viewers to invest.
Check with Moran first.Family or private places on camera, spend above the budget, new tools or new editors.
Background music.Moran's favourite is Aphex Twin, "#19": use it as the reference for the mood (calm, minimal, ambient). It is a commercial track, so YouTube flags it and Meta can mute ads that use it; pick tracks that sound like it from a licensed library (Epidemic Sound, Artlist), unless we get a licence for the track itself.

Reference models: Hormozi and Dan Martell

Both turn one or two recordings a week into posts on every platform, at fixed times. Martell is the model for now; Hormozi is where we're heading. Measured 20–21 Oct 2026. "Typical" = the middle value of each channel's last 30 uploads; the newest Shorts are still counting, so Short views read low.

What we take from them: one long recording feeds everything; fixed posting times; daily text posts on LinkedIn and X cost no filming; long conversations give the most clips.

Creators to study, and what to take from each

Moran's saved inspiration (22 Oct 2026). Watch 20 posts from each before the first filming session. We copy formats and hooks, never claims: every number we post is ours and true.

CreatorWhereWhat they doWhat we take
Ben Kelly@benkellyone (~1M followers)Ex-Army intelligence, ex-JPMorgan; buys "boring" $1–10M businesses (laundromats, accounting firms); sells the Acquisition Ace course.Our exact audience. Study his hooks, carousels and "buy a business with $0 down" framing. Same topic, our proof (real deals, $1B+).
Paul Wilkinson@paulwilkinsonreal · post 1 · post 2UK. "Follow along to see me buy my next business." Explains the government loan scheme (GGS), then the deal: a retiring owner's £1M factory bought with £0 of his own money.The build-in-public series ("follow along as I buy…") and the loan-explainer post: our SBA version of "the rules changed, here is how you use them".
Shelby Sapp@shelby.sapp24, founder of She Sells Academy (high-ticket sales for women). Posts daily on Instagram and TikTok; a Codie Sanchez interview with her did ~200K views in April 2026.The persona-first hook ("I'm Shelby, I sell, here is what I'd do") for the AI advisor character and for Moran's own openers. Daily cadence from one face.
Jake Bass@schmuckceo · postAustralian founder; lifestyle clips with one line of text ("With enough money, it can always be summer", 285K likes). Went viral in 2025 for engagement-bait he admitted was written with ChatGPT.Only the format: aspiration B-roll + one line, for retargeting reach. Not the bait; our audience are buyers with money, not fans.
Codie Sanchez@codiesanchez (~3.4M on Instagram, ~2M YouTube)Contrarian Thinking: "boring businesses" bought with little money; a 1M-reader newsletter; long interviews on YouTube.The biggest voice on our exact topic. Her hooks, titles and thumbnails are the benchmark; study how one interview becomes a week of clips.
Greg LaVecchia@greglav · YouTubeCo-founder of Bloom (wellness brand, $0 to a billion-dollar brand); founder-on-camera, build-in-public, lifestyle + lessons.The founder vibe Moran wants for his own brand: calm, direct, behind-the-scenes of a real company.
Cameron England@iamcameronenglandAgency coach ("430+ agencies"); daily Reels and AI-image Stories that end in a live event and a Register link (see the example at the bottom of this page).The AI-image Story format and the Reel → Story → live-event funnel.
Brian Mark@therealbrianmarkPT Domination: coaching for online fitness coaches; podcast 5× a week; high-six-figure Instagram audience.Volume from one person: a daily podcast cut into clips, the same promise repeated every day.
Alex Hormozi@hormozi (5M)~3 posts a day on Instagram, ~10 Shorts a day on YouTube, a clips channel; see the reference table above.The machine: one recording feeds every platform, fixed posting times.
Dan Martell@danmartell (3.2M)1 long video a week, 2 Shorts a day, a daily clips channel; see the reference table above.The model for our first months: steady, scheduled, one face.
Nik Setting@niksetting23, Instagram-funnel coach; says 75% of his revenue comes from Instagram. Reels → profile → DMs → setter → call.The analogy trick: same topic, explained with an everyday comparison, took one Reel from 8K to 132K views.
Farza@farza954 · YC interviewFounder of Hey Clicky (ex-Buildspace). Short "here's what I'm working on" demos; 70% of his traffic comes from Instagram.The "let me show you" demo: who I am, what's going on, what I'm working on, show it. For us: a real deal or listing, shown on screen.
Emma Karolyna@emmakarolyna (~650K) · saved postEnergy / manifestation creator, LA. Face-to-camera, one idea per Reel, captions on screen; hooks that feel addressed to you today ("if you're watching this…"). Top Reels 5.5M, 1.9M, 1.1M views. Sells a guide and a paid club from her bio link.The "if you're watching this on [date]" hook, made true: a deal of the day. "If you're watching this on October 25th, there's an HVAC company in Texas for sale right now: asking $1.2M, $410K profit. Here's what I'd offer…" Close with "Comment DEAL" for the breakdown. Use industry, state, price and profit only; never the business name, broker or listing link.
Still to addThe creator who did the "her last call" video (William Rivera's partner) and "Sway". Moran sends the handles; Kasia adds a row for each.

How to use this: for each creator, save their 5 best posts (by likes) in a shared folder, write one line on why it worked, then make our version with our story. Hooks and formats are free to copy; claims and numbers are never invented.

Example: Instagram Stories made with AI

Cameron England (@iamcameronengland), 22 Oct 2026. The photos are AI: him as a construction worker, same face across three slides, short caption boxes, a link sticker at the end. Stories like this need no shoot.

Story slide 1: the construction-worker metaphor Story slide 2: you stopped taking risks Story slide 3: the live event and Register link

How to make them: upload 3–5 photos of Moran to ChatGPT (image generation) or Higgsfield, ask for him in the scene you want (same outfit and light on every slide), then add the black caption boxes in Instagram itself. Moran's face only with his OK; real numbers only.
