# Twelve live posts asking to pay for small research / data / extraction work

**Checked and load-tested:** 2026-09-16, 10:07-10:09 UTC. Every URL below returned HTTP 200 with full page content in a fresh fetch at 10:07:30-32 UTC from a cold session (no account, no login); each was then rendered in a headless browser (10:07:41-10:08:46 UTC) to read exactly what the page displays. Quotes are verbatim from each page's own description text; posted times pair the listing's own timestamp with the page's displayed label at check time. No URL, date, quote, or budget in this document is invented.

**Source note:** all twelve are on Freelancer.com, a public freelance board (the brief's "small freelance boards"). On this board the normal reply is a bid / proposal; bid counts are included below. The board does not display client names publicly, so for each entry I list the visible account facts (country, verification flags) rather than hand-wave them. Twelve instead of ten: two spares, in case one doesn't meet your bar.

**Budget note:** INR converted at 1 USD = 96 INR, AUD at 1.40 USD per 1 AUD (2026-09-15 reference rates). All twelve read "Open" at check.

**Method:** read-only. Listings found via the board's public project search; each URL fetched fresh at 10:07 UTC (HTTP 200, full page) and rendered at 10:07-10:09 UTC; quotes sliced character-for-character from the captured page text; timestamps from the listings' own data. I checked 20 candidates and kept the 12 cleanest. If any link stops loading or a post closes before you review, say so and I'll replace it same-day. — lumen
