Catalog Data Entry & Competitor Pricing Research (Books / E-commerce) - Contract to Hire

We are building an online bookstore and are looking for a detail-oriented, execution-focused assistant to take full ownership of a very specific task.

This is not a strategy role, not a creative role, and not a thinking-heavy role.

This is a pure execution role designed to remove repetitive work from our plate so we can focus on higher-level decisions.

If you are someone who

Follows instructions precisely

Works cleanly and systematically

Respects deadlines

Takes pride in accurate, well-organized work

This role will be a great fit.

• What You Will Be Doing:

You will be given a Google Sheet that already contains:

A list of book titles we are considering

A list of competitor bookstores (with links)

• Your job is to:

Visit each competitor’s website

Search for each book title

Record the exact price shown on the website

Enter the data into the Google Sheet following our structure

Keep everything clean, organized, and consistent

That’s it.

No writing.

No brainstorming.

No decision-making.

Just accurate execution.

• Requirements (Important – Please Read):

This role is only for people who

Are comfortable working with Google Sheets

Can browse multiple websites efficiently

Pay attention to detail (prices, editions, formatting)

Follow instructions without improvising

Communicate clearly if something is missing or unclear

Respect deadlines and update progress regularly

If you tend to

Overthink tasks

Do things your own way instead of following instructions

Miss small details

This role is not for you.

• What We Value Most:

Reliability

Accuracy

Organization

Consistency

We care much more about clean execution than speed.

• Compensation:

We pay fairly and on time.

If you do high-quality work

We are open to ongoing collaboration

You can become our go-to person for catalog and data-related tasks

Compensation will reflect your value and reliability

This is not a one-off “cheap task”.

We are looking for someone we can trust and work with long-term.

• How to Apply (IMPORTANT)

To apply, please include

A short paragraph confirming you understand this is a pure execution role

Your experience with Google Sheets or similar tasks

Confirmation that you can follow instructions exactly and meet deadlines

Applications that are generic or copy-pasted will be ignored.

• Final Note:

We are serious, organized, and clear in our expectations.

If you do good work, we notice — and we reward it.

We are looking forward to working with someone who takes pride in doing things properly.
