Oleg S.
Social Media Expert, PhD
Do you need someone who can grow your brand, expand your online visibility, and engage real communities that convert into customers? That’s exactly what I help businesses achieve. I specialize in content-driven growth strategies for B2B SaaS, generative AI, blockchain, and other tech-forward industries. Drawing from both my marketing and engineering background, I bridge the gap between complex technology and clear value-driven messaging. I create engaging content for my clients' websites and social media, promote their products across trusted online communities on Reddit, Quora, LinkedIn, Product Hunt, Y Combinator News, Kickstarter, and other industry-relevant forums. Alongside my marketing expertise, I also have a strong technical background as a web developer, blogger, CPA marketing expert, and productivity expert (utilizing OKR and GTD methodologies). I also have a solid background in mechanical engineering, and while working on my PhD, I also gained lots of international experience as a structural analysis engineer (a one-year period of on-site work in the U.S.A. at the main Boeing manufacturing facility in Everett,WA). Examples of my work are presented in the portfolio below and on my personal website - sergeykin.com What I Do for My Clients * Content Creation & Promotion: Writing and curating content for websites, blogs, and social media communities (Reddit, Quora, LinkedIn, Y Combinator, Bitcointalk, ProductHunt), * Community Management: Setting up and maintaining Reddit communities (subreddits) - managing discussions, creating engaging threads, and building positive user engagement. I’ve managed successful subreddits and maintain an advanced Reddit account with 100K+ karma, which earned the "Best Link of the Day" award. * Market Research & Growth Strategy: Conducting niche research, competitor analysis, tracking user feedback, and targeted positioning so your product connects with the right audience. * AI tools: Skilled in using ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other AI tools to streamline content and community strategies. Have long-term projects for AI-related clients (Originality.ai, Qodo.ai, DVC.org), promoted them o Reddit, Quora, and Linkedin. * Cryptocurrency & Blockchain: Promoting crypto services (Oobit, RubyKube, etc.) on Reddit, Quora, and Bitcointalk, setting up and managing subreddits for them. * Big Data: Promoting products related to data analysis and warehousing on social media (Panoply.io, Bipp.io) * Edtech: Writing high-quality educational content (my experience here is mainly related to engineering and productivity), promoting platforms for monetizing educational content (Uscreen.tv, Gurucan.com) on social media. * Affiliate Marketing: Promoting products via the Amazon Associates affiliate program and other affiliate networks (for U.S. insurance and personal finance products). * Engineering: I have a PhD in Mechanical Engineering and 7+ years of work experience in this area (including 3+ years of work for Boeing), performing FEA calculations in Ansys, MSC.Patran/Nastran (including scripting in APDL and PCL), see more details on my website, so I would be happy to get more projects in this area, as well as projects related to technical writing for hardware products.
