Does anyone do freelance or willing to walk me through the weighting process via screenshare?

In general, the application of sampling weights will look different depending on what statistical software you are using (e.g., Stata, SPSS, SAS, R, or Excel). As far as additional resources, we have [this blog post](http://blog.popdata.org/ipums-faqs-sample-weights/) that introduces sampling weights very broadly from a conceptual perspective. If you have any more specific questions about applying sampling weights, you can email us at [ipums@umn.edu](mailto:ipums@umn.edu).
