Project Description:

I need someone to collect business data from specific directory websites using a provided PHP script (extremely easy to use) and arrange it into organized and clean output files. The script will automatically output to XML and CSV which are the formats I need. Your duty will be to make sure there are files for each provided business category and for each specified city. For example, lawfirms_newyorkcity.csv and lawfirms_newyorkcity.xml. You will also be required to remove any duplicate entries and any notable "franchise" companies that you come across. If you prefer to just export to CSV and then once you organize the file to then convert it to XML afterwards, that is fine with me as long as it remains organized and I receive both the CSV and XML files.

Please submit your bid based on what you would like to be paid for every legit 5,000 entries. That doesn't necessarily mean you have to get that many, but you have incentive to get more if you want to make more money. For example, if you bid $150 for 5,000 entries and you only give me 1,000 then you'll receive $30 (5,000/1,000 = 5, $150/5=$30). On the other hand, if you bid $150 for 5,000 and you give me 20,000 entries then you will receive $600. I will be cross referencing 50% of the entries provided as well to make sure they are viable in order to protect myself against "fake" or non legit entries.

To summarize, there is no typing involved (except for file names) as the script will collect the data for you. This makes the process extremely faster than typing the data yourself and it is very likely to achieve 1,000 or more entries every hour or so depending on your work ethic.

Please contact me if you have any further questions or clarifications. Thank you for taking the time to review this job opportunity.
