Summary
We're looking for a reliable and detail-oriented virtual assistant based in Turkey, with hands-on experience in online research and data collection. This is an ongoing role involving a variety of simple but important tasks — both online and offline — that need to be completed in your local area. Tasks may include mobile-based research, photographing or screenshotting everyday items (such as gift cards, coupons, membership/loyalty cards, and event tickets), app testing, searching and researching local websites and information, and other location-specific assignments.
Since tasks need to reflect the local market — local stores, local apps, and the local language — this role can only be done by someone actually based in Turkey, not remotely.
What we're looking for:
Proven experience as a researcher or in data collection projects
iPhone owner (required for most tasks) — many tasks involve mobile research and app-based work
Comfortable using AI tools and neural networks in daily workflows
Strong attention to detail and ability to follow instructions precisely
Creative problem-solver who can find non-standard solutions when needed
Self-motivated and able to work independently with minimal supervision
Reliable communication and timely task delivery
Good to have:
Experience on Upwork or similar freelance platforms
Familiarity with working across multiple apps and platforms simultaneously
Compensation: Performance-based pay per task, calculated per accepted item (photo/screenshot). Rate depends on task complexity and volume — the more you deliver, the more you can earn, with bonus rates available once certain volume milestones are reached.
This is a great fit for someone who enjoys varied, hands-on work and can adapt quickly to new types of tasks. New tasks come up regularly, so this can turn into an ongoing collaboration for the right person. If this sounds like you — we'd love to hear from you!
Please include in your proposal:
Your country and city of residence
A brief description of your research or data collection experience
Confirmation that you own an iPhone
