Research Assistant — Download 175 Articles to Google Drive What I Need Done I'm building a research library for my SEO agency. I have a spreadsheet with 175 URLs pointing to articles, blog posts, research papers, and documentation pages. I need you to: Download each URL as a PDF Save it into the correct folder in my Google Drive with the correct filename Log what worked and what failed That's it. No reading, no writing, no research. You're essentially a careful file organizer. What I Provide Google Sheet with 175 rows. Each row tells you: The URL to download The exact folder to save into (e.g., 01_leaks/, 03_research/) The exact filename to use (e.g., [login to view URL]) Notes on any special handling Google Drive folder with Editor access pre-set up Short written guide on using the Wayback Machine for dead links My direct contact (email or Slack) for questions The Workflow Phase 1 — Setup (20 minutes) Accept my Google Drive invitation (I'll send it when you're hired) Inside Sources PDF/, create 19 subfolders (I'll provide the list) Install the free Chrome extension "Open Multiple URLs" or "Bulk URL Opener" Open the task spreadsheet and skim the first 20 rows to understand the pattern Phase 2 — Downloads (2 hours) For each of the 175 URLs: Open the URL (you can open 10-15 at a time using the Chrome extension) Save the content: Direct PDF links (e.g., arxiv, Google Patents): right-click → "Save link as" Webpages: Ctrl+P → Destination "Save as PDF" → Save Use the exact filename from the spreadsheet (copy-paste from the sheet) Save to the exact folder from the spreadsheet When URLs fail, here's the decision tree: URL returns 404 (dead link): Go to [login to view URL] Paste URL into search Click the latest available snapshot Save that page as PDF with the original filename Log: "Used Wayback snapshot from [date]" URL is paywalled: Try Wayback Machine once If still blocked, log as FAILED and move on URL redirects to unrelated content: Google the exact title Spend max 5 minutes looking for the original If not found, log as FAILED and move on 3-minute rule: If you're stuck on any single URL for more than 3 minutes, log it as FAILED and move on. Don't rabbit-hole. Phase 3 — Documentation (20 minutes) At the end, create a file called [login to view URL] in the root Drive folder with: markdown# Worker Completion Log ## Summary - Hours worked: [X] - Sources downloaded successfully: [X]/175 - Sources that failed: [X] - Date completed: YYYY-MM-DD ## Failed Sources (One line each, with reason) - Source #X [Title]: 404 error, no Wayback snapshot - Source #Y [Title]: Paywalled, couldn't access - Source #Z [Title]: Original URL rotted, couldn't find replacement ## Used Wayback Machine (List sources where you used an archived version) - Source #A: Wayback snapshot from 2023-06-15 - Source #B: Wayback snapshot from 2022-11-03 ## Notes (Anything worth flagging — patterns you noticed, sites that were tricky, etc.) Send me a message confirming: Log uploaded to Drive Total hours worked Your invoice Naming Convention (Non-Negotiable) Every file must use the exact filename from the spreadsheet. Copy-paste from the cell. Correct: [login to view URL] [login to view URL] [login to view URL] Incorrect (will require rework): Sparktoro Google API [login to view URL] (spaces, caps) [login to view URL] (hyphens instead of underscores) [login to view URL] (generic naming) [login to view URL] (camel case) Same for folders. Use 01_leaks/ exactly, not Leaks/ or 01-Leaks/. What Makes This Easy vs Hard Easy (~80% of sources): Blog posts on standard sites (Moz, Search Engine Land, Backlinko, Ahrefs) Official Google documentation pages Direct PDF links (ArXiv research papers, Google Patents) Tricky (~15% of sources): Dead URLs needing Wayback Machine (quick process once you know how) Academic papers that might be paywalled (you'll skip these, log as FAILED) GitHub repos (just save the README page, not the whole repo) Skip (~5% of sources): Hard paywalls (Springer, Nature, some ScienceDirect) Completely dead URLs with no archive Content requiring login/subscription Failing 5-10% of sources is expected and fine. What matters is clean logging of failures. Tool Reference Chrome extensions (install before Phase 1): Open Multiple URLs OR Bulk URL Opener — free, opens 10-15 URLs as tabs Websites you'll use: [login to view URL] — Wayback Machine for dead URLs [login to view URL] — where files go Save-as-PDF method: Chrome: Ctrl+P → Destination: "Save as PDF" → Save That's it. No other tools needed. Deliverable Checklist Before you invoice, verify: 19 subfolders exist in Sources PDF/ with correct names 120-160 PDFs saved across the subfolders (some failures expected) Every filename matches the spreadsheet exactly Every file is in the correct folder per the spreadsheet [login to view URL] exists in the root Drive folder Log lists every FAILED source with reason Log lists every source where you used Wayback Machine Your hours worked are in the log Why I'm Hiring I run a small SEO agency. This is reference material for internal research. The library will be used long-term, so file organization quality matters more than speed. If this goes well, I have ongoing research collection work and may want to work with you again. About You (Ideal Candidate) Must have: Chrome browser and stable internet A Google account (to access my shared Drive) Windows or Mac (either is fine) 6-8 hours available within 1 week Ability to follow precise instructions Willingness to log failures honestly instead of hiding them Nice to have: Previous data entry or research assistant experience Familiarity with Google Drive Attention to detail (this is 175 files, naming consistency matters) Don't need: SEO expertise Writing skills Any specific technical background Payment & Timeline Total: $40 flat rate (based on estimated 2-3 hours) Milestones: After 30 sources completed (spot-check): I review quality. If filenames and folders are correct, we continue. If not, we fix the approach before you do more. Timeline: Most workers finish in 1 focused day. Bonus: If delivery is clean (no rework needed) and on time, $10 bonus How to Apply Send a message with: Brief intro (2-3 sentences): Your experience with similar tasks Confirm availability this week for 6-8 hours of focused work Confirm you have: Chrome · Stable internet · Google account · Windows or Mac Any questions you have about the scope What I'm looking for: Someone who communicates clearly Someone who will honestly log failures instead of silently skipping Someone who can follow the naming conventions precisely I'll review applications within 24 hours. I prefer reliable over cheapest. Questions? (FAQ) Q: What if the URL loads something totally different than the title says? A: Try Wayback Machine once. If no match, Google the title for 3 minutes max. If still no luck, mark FAILED and move on. Q: What if a PDF file is huge (50+ pages)? A: Save it anyway. File size isn't a concern. Q: What if the URL is in a language I don't read? A: Doesn't matter. Save it as-is. I handle that side. Q: Can I work on multiple sources in parallel (multiple tabs)? A: Yes — that's expected. Just make sure you save each file with the correct filename. Don't rush to the point of making naming mistakes. Q: Do I need to verify the downloaded PDF opens correctly? A: Quick sanity check (does the file size make sense? Did it actually save?) is good. You don't need to read the content. Q: What if my internet is slow? A: That's okay — this task is bounded by how fast you can click through URLs, not how fast your internet is. Q: Can I use an ad blocker? A: Yes, recommended. Many sites load cleaner without ads in the saved PDF. Apply with subject line: "SEO Research Downloads" Thanks for reading this far. I know the instructions are detailed — that's because clear instructions make for smooth work and happy freelancers.
