What are some online freelance jobs that don't require any difficult skills?

What jobs require REAL analytics skills and try to understand website consumer behavior?

• I have an advertising background in Search marketing, and have a real love for Analytics, the kind of Analytics that Avinash Kaushik talks about in his blog, which is uncovering insights, creating dashboards and finding out exactly what a user is doing and how to optimize to maximize your conversions.. But the fact is that Analytics jobs in an Agency are just glorified excel number crunching roles that require to put out reports for the teams. i.e managing the data from DFA etc. What kind of jobs require website analysis that gets you involved in working with UI/UX teams to improve stuff, or doing a A/B test to improve numbers and how do you get into that role? The agency world doesn't satisfy my love for trying to improve things for a client because most of the time's your hands are tied because things are out of scope or a different teams responsibility..Ignore my rants, but do help out with my job questions. Thank you!

• Answer:

  I do agree with . It's not so much about the industry but the specific company you work for. Especially in advertising (disclaimer I was working for OgilvyOne and another WPP company in Beijing). There are huge differences among agencies within one network, sometimes even within one large agency (those who have dedicated departments for clients). Often the ones with the strongest focus on creative output, are least interested in scientific backup for user behavior. What I would do is to get in touch with recruiters who look for talent on a group/ holding level (Publicis, Omnicom, WPP etc.) via Linkedin. They might know best the requirements for their agencies and can direct you where your skills/ interest are most needed and welcome.
