Competitive Intelligence Researcher- Best Internet Business Skills & Online Education Businesses

Posted 20 hours ago

Worldwide

Summary

I’m looking for an experienced competitive intelligence researcher to help me discover online education businesses that are worth studying. My goal is not to collect a list of random course businesses. I’m trying to answer this question: “If someone wanted to build a large internet business Right Now, what skills and online education businesses are worth studying?” I already know how to search Google, YouTube, X, Reddit, LinkedIn, and Skool. I’m looking for someone who can uncover businesses using competitive intelligence techniques, OSINT, advanced research methods, public data, advertising research, technology analysis, and other non-obvious sources. I value original research and discovery. I’m looking for businesses that are not commonly featured in popular YouTube videos, blog posts, or ‘top online business’ lists. What I’m Looking For Find 10 online education businesses that meet as many of these criteria as possible: * Teach a valuable internet or professional skill * Founder-led * High-margin * In demand Right Now * Scalable * Demonstrate excellent business execution * Have a strong customer transformation * Likely generate significant revenue * Teach skills that a motivated beginner could become operationally competent in within approximately 100–200 hours Please Exclude * Healthcare * Medical education * Law * Insurance * Regulatory compliance * Fitness * Nutrition * Wellness * Universities * SaaS * Ecommerce * Agencies * Crypto * Forex * Amazon FBA * Dropshipping * Generic “make money online” businesses * Hobby businesses unless they demonstrate an exceptional business model For Each Business Include * Business name * Founder * Website * Skill being taught * Target customer * Core transformation * Flagship offer * Offer price * Why customers buy this offer * Business model * Estimated annual revenue (with confidence level) * Evidence supporting the estimate * Customer acquisition strategy * Sales funnel * Biggest competitive advantage * Why this business is worth studying * Estimated difficulty of learning the skill * Estimated time to become operationally competent * Why you believe this business idea is a great business idea Right NOW. * Discovery methodology * Supporting sources Most Important Requirement I am not paying for basic internet research. If the businesses can be found by simply searching Google or YouTube, they are probably not what I’m looking for. The value of this project is your ability to discover businesses through deeper competitive intelligence and then explain why they deserve my attention. When Applying Please begin your proposal with “Market Research” Then answer the following: 1. Explain your discovery methodology. 2. What competitive intelligence tools and research methods do you use beyond Google? 3. Describe a similar project you’ve completed. 4. Share three businesses you believe fit this project and explain why. 5. Walk me through exactly how you discovered one of those businesses. 6. Explain how you would estimate revenue when no public numbers are available. Budget: $300 Fixed Price If Sprint 1 is successful, I plan to continue with larger research projects covering additional businesses and deeper competitive intelligence.
