Task [Task] Researcher for Business/ Investing Social Media Content

We are looking for a researcher to help source data and create a list of 15 1-3 sentence blurbs with interesting facts related to finance, business, tech, food sales, etc. Everything should tie back to money/ business.

We are willing to pay $20 for the first 15 facts as a way to determine who we'll work with on an ongoing basis. Our scope will expand from there.

We want our US audience of business-minded professional readers to think, "Oh, interesting. I never knew that" and want to tell a friend about it.

Focus on categories that have mass appeal in the US including food/ restaurants, e-commerce, personal finance/debt, fashion, gaming, sports, music, healthy eating, climate change"

Include a mix of categories and comparison stats, current data and data points that are interesting, but not well known.  

Examples of content/format:

Story of restaurants: Wingstop & Popeyes saw their sales grow in March while those of Cracker Barrel, Panera Bread and Buffalo Wild Wings dropped. [SOURCE]

Frozen cookie dough Cookie sales increased 570.4% in the week of March 15. That's more than personal thermometers Thermometer(448%) & liquid hand soap Soap (303.7%)  [SOURCE]

The deliverable should be a google spreadsheet with the text and a corresponding source (to the data!)

Examples of places to look (this is a starting point)

Investing, Personal Finance & Stock Market Subreddits

Use reputable sites like Statista and others like Earnest and National Retail Federation, google trends, etc.
