Brad Posted September 9, 2016 Posted September 9, 2016 It's that time where we start looking for help for various Black Friday-related tasks on the site. Below you'll find some descriptions of things that we will need help with.If you want to help out, please PM me and let me know which of the items below you'd be interested in helping with along with any related experience/skills you may have. If you've helped in the past, let me know as well (although I'll be contacting most of you directly).We have 3 tasks that we need help with:Ad Posting: We need as many people as possible with excellent availability (primarily during the first 3 weeks of November including early mornings and nights) and who have above-average typing skills. You'll be taking the scans of the ads and typing up each item in the ad, selecting the appropriate category, entering price/rebate info, etc... This one requires a little more work but you'll get to see some ads before anyone else if you can do these things. We'll give you the exact format to use so you won't be totally lost.Ad Linking: We need people to help link the thousands of Black Friday ad items to the product pages on the store web sites. This involves looking at the BF ad and searching for the same item on that store's web site and pasting that link in a special form. You basically just need to know how to search a store's site using either the item number (if the ad shows it) or the product's name and then copy and paste.Content Writers: We're looking for those of you who enjoy writing about Black Friday to write articles, guides, interviews, etc... Basically you can come up with your own ideas for pieces, pitch them to me and assuming we don't have something similar, I'll give you the go ahead and you'll see it posted on the site with your name (if you'd like) as the author. You can do as little or as much as you'd like.To make things easier so we don't have more than one person doing the same work, we have a private forum for us all to get together, so if you are chosen you'll get access to that forum where we'll assign tasks and post updates. You won't be alone or feel overwhelmed as we'll hopefully once again have a small army of volunteers this year.We don't expect you to do this work for free - you will be compensated for your time and efforts at the end of the year based on how much you helped out. We typically send gift cards, but if you'd rather have another type of payment, we can work something out. Those of you who helped with this the last few years would be very welcome to help again as you all have done a great job.So again, if you feel you could do one or more of these tasks, send me a PM. If you have any questions, you can PM me as well.Thanks 1
