    I need several thousand records entered into an online database.

    They're addresses and phone numbers and a bit of other info.

    Basically it's a copy-and-paste job, but precision is very important and there are some formatting errors that need to be fixed.

    I just did 200 of them and by the time I got into the groove it was taking me about 30 seconds each.

    What's a fair price for this kind of work?

    By my calculations that's about 120 entries per hour, so assuming there are 2000 entries then it'll take 16.66 hours. Personally I'd charge you $833.00, but I'm not cheap (just ask my wife;))

    Assuming there are 2000 entries and about 120 an hour can be done, then that would be roughly 16 hours as the previous poster said. I would charge $400 for the whole thing.

    It really depends on how many entries there are exactly. I've done this sort of work for internships before and several thousand could easily mean 5000-7000, which is what I assumed, instead of 2000.

    I sent a PM but this might be a better way to give you an estimate. I would charge 200$ per 1000 entries. And if needed, I can negotiate a little.

    Hm, I hate to say it, but coming from Malaysia, those quotes are a bit pricey. I may have to wait until the sun rises on this part of the world.

    Hi,

    do you also do social network profiles? :confused:

    New social networking and file sharing site aimed at business people, talent (musicians, models etc)
    needs 300 members and content to populate it.


    You will be responsible for creating new accounts/members, filling in the profiles, uploading some photos, making some "friend" connections between some of the members you create and post blogs & shouts for some members. Mix female to male to make it natural.

    All accounts created must have human photos and not graphics or cartoons. The content should be interesting and exciting enough to encourage new members to join the site and the content must be clean and relevant to the site, you must post min 100 blogs, 20 shouts, NO adult material, spamming or links will be acceptable,ALL CONTENT has to be original and comprehensible; your command of good English essential.
    the content will be checked before payment.


    The job should be completed over a period of 7 days and NOT over the first few days.

    Payment will be through paypal after the 7 days/job's done.

    Important: offers with your rates by PM only.


    Thanks
