Reddit Thread Data Collection
Worldwide
I need help collecting Reddit discussion threads into a spreadsheet for a research project. This is straightforward, repetitive data-entry work — no writing, summarizing, or analysis. You're gathering raw material; I do everything with it afterward. I'll provide a step-by-step guide, the spreadsheet, and a short brief. The process is the same for every thread: Run a Google search from the list I give you (the searches are written out — you copy them exactly). Open the Reddit threads worth keeping (the guide explains how to tell — basically, real opinions, complaints, or comparisons about a product; skip empty or off-topic threads). Before anything else in your proposal, tell me what today's date is and which day of the week it falls on. Copy the full thread page with Ctrl+A then Ctrl+C. Paste the link and the full page into the next row of the spreadsheet. Move to the next thread. There are about 30 searches to run across several categories. You'll do well in this role if you: Are comfortable in Google and Google Sheets / Excel Follow written instructions precisely and consistently Can make a simple judgment call about whether a thread is relevant (I'll give clear examples) Are reliable on a SHORT deadline This is NOT a writing or research-analysis job. Please don't summarize, rewrite, or "clean up" anything — I need the raw threads pasted exactly as they copy over, messy formatting and all. Timeline: I'd like this completed within a 1-2 days of starting. I'll check in at the halfway point to make sure the captures look right before you continue. To apply: In one or two sentences, tell me whether you've done web-scraping or data-collection work like this before, and confirm you're comfortable working in a spreadsheet. You don't need to write a long proposal.
