The YouTube channel quietly blowing up in your niche? I probably found it last week. Is the creator worth reaching before they get expensive? That's a Tuesday for me. I research for a living, and I've learned there are two kinds of researchers: ones who gather information, and ones who know what to do with it. I try to be the second kind. For content creators and media companies: → Sourcing YouTube channels and social creators by niche, growth stage, and audience fit → Clip finding to a specific brief, fair-use, platform, topic, format → Timestamp curation pulling the best 10 minutes from a 2-hour interview, so an editor doesn't have to → Analyzing what makes a viral format work so you can adapt it, not copy it For businesses and startups: → Competitor research: who's in your market, what they offer, where they fall short → Market overviews grounded in real, verifiable sources → Structured case studies backed by annual reports and documented data Here's what clients have said: "Highly punctual and efficient. Gets work done quickly. Highly proficient with web research." "Fast, all high quality, puts a lot of effort into researching. Highly recommended." "You were really good at being responsive and moving fast. You took on feedback well. Overall, you did very well." Top Rated | $10K+ earned | 3 years on Upwork First Class degree in Economics and Finance GMT+3 - available across EST and GMT hours Work gets delivered clean, organized, the way you actually use it spreadsheets, Notion, Google Docs, whatever fits the workflow.
