Hiring someone to enter items into an online store?

Has anybody ever done this? I am interested in finding somebody to enter items from my suppliers website (descriptions, pictures, weight, and SKU) into my online store.
If anybody has ever done this, was it by the hour or by the item, and how much did it cost you? Also, where did you find them?

Thanks

 

Indian guy, by the hour, entered about 1000 items in a few days. I gave him some bonus for speed; think I paid $100 in the end.

 

check the bst if you are looking to hire someone on here. I guess there will be some people willing to do it for a pretty good price

You could also look at importing those details into a database. A CSV file and an import tool can do this. You can import several thousand products this way and it can be done in less than an hour.

 

Hi there let me know how much item are there. will do your job. chk your PM for more details.

 

I have done this and i search for the worker at guru.com.
And i pay them based on the work done for example $1/item.

 

$1 per item?! that seems idiculous

 

He said for example. Anyways how many products you need up and what script does your site use?

 

Probably 1000, plus or minus 200 - using Magento

 

Do you know how I could get in touch with this guy or others like him? What website did you use, and how well was the work?

 

If you show me your site and your backend I can tell you if maybe you can upload the files via CSV which would save time. Do you even have an XML or CSV or something in the area file?

 

can you tell me which backend technology is used to do it? and if you have items listed in excel or csv it can be done really fast and easy. you can PM me with details.

 

Yes, you can upload most attributes with a CSV file

 

I have recently been working with uploading thousands of products to a store that I own which is based off of Joomla if you want I could upload the files for you as long as they use the default settings of the script if you need to add extra things it makes it a bit more complicated.

 

I just need someone to enter the image, description, SKU, title, weight, and a dummy price of $1000

 

How are the products currently stored?

 

Multiple places, some on other websites, some on my computer.

 

Hmm so you would have to do it by hand eh =/ How many products you got and how many columns for each product? If its less than 2000 products I will do it for $100

 

I had someone that did it,

done about 300 items cos about $80

I'm looking for a new person though now if anyone is interested. I guess this stuff is called Grunt work so just post a topic there and tell me if you get anyone!
