Online Directory Data Extraction
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
I am in need of a reliable freelancer who can manually gather specific data from an online directory. The information to be collected includes:
- Full Names
- Contact Information
- Addresses
This data will be primarily used for lead generation purposes and it is crucial that the details collected are accurate and up to date.
As for delivery, I would prefer the collected data to be formatted and presented in an Excel spreadsheet.
Ideal candidates for this project should have:
- Strong attention to detail to ensure accuracy of collected data
- Experience with online research and data gathering
- Proficiency in using Excel
- Understanding of lead generation best practices
The project involves manually extracting data from an online membership directory that cannot be downloaded directly. The directory contains information on 13,800 members, including emails and other details. The freelancer is expected to access a password-protected forum using provided credentials and navigate to the member directory section. The directory displays a maximum of 200 results per search, so the freelancer will need to use advanced search options to navigate through the members. Specifically, they should filter by country (USA) and then by each state individually. For states with more than 200 members, they must further refine the search alphabetically by the last name's starting letter.
The data must be manually copied and pasted into an Excel spreadsheet. It's crucial to avoid using scraping scripts since the forum has scraping detection and protection. The manual approach includes loading each page individually and then using a script to extract the data once the page is loaded. The estimated time for this task is around 5 hours, and the budget is $100. It is critical that the searches be manual and not automated due to the forum's scraping protection. I am looking for diligent work, and have a number of more databases more for future projects for successful freelancers. The goal is to capture comprehensive member data from all available countries and states, with an expected total of around 270 searches needed to cover the entire directory.
Please note: this project involves manual data collection and is not suitable for the use of scraping tools or bots.
