Hello beautypimp-ga:
The place to find me is right here at Google Answers!
Thank you for requesting me; I'm very complimented that you liked my
previous work in finding celebrities' publicists.
So, you want to send this product to several hundred (I'm guessing
female) celebrities!
The way to do that would be via sending it to their publicists and
agents, especially if you're hoping that some of them may endorse your
product.
Please tell me a little more about your project.
Thank you again for requesting me.
Best Regards,
nancylynn-ga

Hello Nancy,
Thank you for the quick response. You can read about the product here
at www.citylips.com. We have celebrity?s that use our product, now I
would like the entire Hollywood community to use it.
I would like to get it in the hands of every female celebrity
possible. I define celebrity?s as anyone who is high profile like
actress?s, heiress?s, female news announcers, the wife a celebrity?s
or anyone else in the media.
What I would like you to do for me is:
Compile the largest most comprehensive master list of female celebrity?s
Track down the contact info, verify it so that I can send them out free product.
I am open to your ideas, you have full reign to innovate to help me
with my goals. i.e. if you need to join a few sites to help you with
data I am more than willing to pay for these subscriptions.
This is a very important project to me. I am not sure how to pay you
since this will be a sizable project, celebrity?s will be added. Let
me know your thoughts on a pricing structure.
Here is a list of 114 celebrity?s that I compiled.

Hello Nancy,
My staff can do the phone call verification to see if it is the
correct address. Then report back to you with the non accurate ones
to go back and search again.
I want you to focus on the master lists. I think with your experience
you could find 1 to 200 more than the ones I provided.

Again, thank you very much for requesting my help.
CityLips is certainly a very hot product these days and I'm sure your
success will only grow!
Just to clarify a few things: you can only hire my services via Google
Answers. There isn't any way you can hire me -- or communicate with me
-- outside of this Web site.
As far as pay: the top fee you can pay for an answer here is $200
(researcher receives 75% of that), plus, if you wish, a tip. (The
researcher receives 100% of the tip.)
If you're new to Google Answers, you may want to refer to the pricing
guidelines at:
http://answers.google.com/answers/pricing.html
And, for other information:
http://answers.google.com/answers/faq.html
I have worked up lists of names and contacts before, such as:
Marketing Directors For The Top 100 British Brands:
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=321088
It took me a little over a week to find the 100 marketing directors
listed in that answer -- and in *some* cases, the marketing directors
were listed right at the corporations' Web sites; with a lot of other
names, I had to do a lot of digging.
So, with a lot of searching, I could come up with representatives for
numerous female celebrities, yes. I may not be able to come up with a
rep for every name you've listed, but I could compensate by coming up
with alternative names to get you to your target of 200.
When I did the questions you found:
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=300634
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=300633
http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=300632
It took me several hours just to find the 3 or 4 names for each of
those questions. I had to do a lot of searching to find most of those
publicists/agents. (And the publicist is the person you really want.
Only send the sample to the agent if you can't find a publicist; there
are a very few celebs who don't have publicists.)
So, maybe what we could do here is divvy this up into 4 questions with
lists of 50 celebrities on each list. Would that be amenable to you?
If so, you can cancel this question and put the celebrities' names
into separate questions. (If you have trouble getting to 200 and/or if
I can't find some of those celebrities' reps, I can help you come up
with more possibilites so that we get you to 200.)
You can put my name, "nancylynn-ga" in each question's title, so I can
find it easily, and so that those questions are earmarked for me.
Thank you again,
nancylynn-ga

Sorry about that, hit the wrong button.
Hello Nancy,
Lets start with this.
Round 1
One price
Compile a master list of celebs above and beyond what I have listed.
What is a fair price for you to do this?
Round 2
Another price
I have access to a star address database BUT they do not have phone #?s.
When you go to search for the info I can give this to you to help you
find phone #?s so you are more effective.
Break up into groups of 50 each and start cleaning up the master list.
Round 3
No cost
Have my staff call to verify your results which ones are good or bad.
Round 4
Another price
Start back on the ones that are inaccurate
How does this sound?

Hi:
I'm afraid what you're proposing doesn't really jibe with Google
Answer's setup. For one thing, I can't really name a price above and
beyond Google Answers' limits.
I know this service is very confusing to a newbie, but working with me
via GA is actually to your benefit, financially, because most
researchers would charge you at least $30 an hour -- and this project
may well take over 100 hours!
Here at Google Answers, the top price you can pay per question is $200
(and you can, if you choose, tip up to $100 per answer). That's why I
suggested we break this up into 200 celebrities' divided into 4
question/answers.
1. I estimate it will take me at least 80-100 hours to collect the
names for the publicists for 200 celebrities. So, if we divide this
into 4 questions for 50 celebrities each, priced at $200 for each of
the 4 questions/answers, I think that works out pretty fairly for each
of us.
I'll receive 75% of each $200 fee from Google Answers, meaning (of
course) that I'll get $150 for each; I'll earn a total of $600 for
finding the publicists for 200 stars. (Plus you can choose to tip me
up to $100 per each of those 4 questions -- you don't have to tip
right away (or tip me at all, if you're dissatisfied), you can mull
that over.
You'll end up paying a total of $800 for the four questions combined
-- for a total of publicists' names for the 200 stars -- plus any
gratuities you choose to pay me.
2. After your staff has made the calls, you can list a new question
for me, priced at maybe $75 - $100 -- we'll see how involved it is --
listing all the strike-outs, and I will do another round of searching
on those names on which your staff hit a dead-end.
3. If you choose to hire me via GA, it is *very important* that you
list each of those questions with the title "For nancylynn-ga," so
that it's earmarked for me and so that I can find it quickly.
It may help you to better understand how Google Answers works if you
go back and re-read the RFC (Request For Clarification) that I posted
yesterday, and especially the two FAQ links.
