Academic Research - Entrepreneurial Action Research Project
I am seeking an academic research assistant to support my Entrepreneurial Action Research project, which encompasses approximately 9,500 words. The theoretical framework is largely established but requires enhancement, particularly regarding secondary data integration. Assistance is needed in identifying pertinent secondary data, facilitating action research cycles (planning, action, observation, reflection), and ensuring accurate Harvard-style citations and references. Additionally, the academic structure, flow, and layout require refinement, alongside proofreading and language polishing. I will provide existing draft sections and some secondary sources. A PowerPoint presentation for around 10 minutes oral presentation will also be needed ,but I'll need to write myself because I`ll be presenting it(Ill need the proof reading). The deadline for completion is the morning of January 15, UK time.I`m flexible about the price. Thank you for your consideration.

2 days ago32 proposalsRemoteLooking for someone to research quality leads (not sell lists)
We’re a small Dublin-based digital agency. We’re not looking for scraped lists, bulk emails, or automated tools. We’ve tried that. It doesn’t work. What we need is proper lead research. What we’re looking for We want a list of 100+ businesses, but quality matters more than the number. These should be businesses that: clearly need a website or a website fix are realistic buyers for €1k–€5k projects make sense for a small agency like ours to contact If a business clearly isn’t a fit, we don’t want it in the list just to hit a number. How leads should be selected This needs to be manual research, not scraping. Each lead should come with: business name + website location best contact (email or LinkedIn) a short line on why this business is worth contacting If you can’t explain why the lead makes sense, it’s not useful to us. How we want to work We’ll start with one list as a test. If it works, we’re looking for someone we can work with regularly, not a one-off delivery. This is more about ongoing support than “selling a list”. Important note We care about how European / Irish businesses actually work. If you understand that context, that matters more to us than speed. If you need any information from us to do so, we are happy to provide it for better quality. Our budget is 100€, although depending on the quality and ROI, this can go up or down. Send your offers. When you apply, just answer this How do you normally research and qualify leads? Have you done similar work for agencies before?
