Fast Track To Financial Freedom: Boost Your Internet Research Business Know-How
February 22, 2010scfm 11 Comments »Undeniably, being the typical employee who rises up at 7 AM, drives to work at 8 AM(traffic problems and all) and working under the not-so-pleasant scrutiny of the resident of the corner-office (namely, your boss) does have its perks. It is reassuring to know that as a regular employee, you will receive an X amount of money in X number of days, usually monthly. With this sense of security though, comes the knowledge that you will never receive more than that usual amount, unless you give up your social life and have dinner in your cubicle for that precious overtime pay.
Now, most people dread and live the scenario above. Thank goodness for internet research. You can get to earn extra money at your own pace. You might be wondering how profitable a venture into the internet research business would be. Note that virtually everyone who has access to the internet, goes online for a reason. Sometimes people log in to play online role playing games, to have fun at recreation sites such as online casinos and sometimes, to interact with others via social networking and the likes. However, the internet provides much more than that. More and more people are buying and selling stuff online. Also, more and more people go online to find out about something – a product, a service, a game, a place – anything! That is the need that an internet researcher would take care of, for a price, of course. A researcher, especially a skilled one, can look up information that the average netizen would have had a hard time finding.
Here are some things that you might want to keep in mind if you are interested in starting out:
Starting Up
The beauty of an internet research business is that it requires minimal initial investment. You do not have to purchase any equipment because your good old personal computer would do. You also do not have to set up a fancy office at some commercial block downtown because you can get and meet clients online. You might need to advertise to attract potential clients which, and herein lies the problem. What you can do is you can establish your reputation first by freelancing under the wing of a well-known internet research firm.
Sources
There are numerous companies that are in need of people to provide them information. You might be requested to take a look at a competitor’s promotional events, look up statistical information about a target market, or even check into product reviews. This means that you would have to have good general sources, or else, you will find yourself spending an entire day digging. Different companies require different types of information. It would be handy to have your sources bookmarked.
On misinformation
The internet is swarming with information, and it is up to you, the researcher to find out which among those is relevant and reliable. While there is a lot of factual information on the internet, there is also a lot of misinformation. You can verify information by looking up the publishers and authors of the information or article you accessed. One fool-proof way is to stick to the most official sources such as encyclopedias and government websites, as much as possible.
Watch the Project Details
When a research project is assigned to you, you will be provided with some sort of outline. For example, your client might want statistics or a product review. Make sure to clarify anything that sounds vague before you go ahead. It will save you valuable time. After your research, you would need to compile and present the information in the format that your client required. Most of the time, you will need to use a word processor, and sometimes you might need a spreadsheet, especially for statistics and tables.
Information is powerful. It can make or break a company. That’s why companies are willing to pay for the right information. With an internet research business, you can get your hands in the golden pot that is the internet.

I would start by charging those people you've been helping a small fee. Your time is valuable, too. Make sure that the people you help and are happy with your work know that you're looking to expand your business. Those referrals are your best and least expensive forms of advertisement. If you have Excel or MS Works( usually provided as free software with the purchase of a PC) or some other spreadsheet program, you may already have an invoice program available. Some versions of Quicken also provide invoicing, and bookeeping programs. Very easy to use. For inexpensive business cards and promotional items: Try http://www.vistaprint.com. You can get 250 business cards for the S&H of about $5. Best of Luck!

Yes, there are other ways to search the 'net.
Usually, when you aren't finding things, you are spelling one of the words wrong. The second common thing is that you are putting too many words in, so the search engines aren't finding anything that have ALL your words. Try fewer works, or more general words.
Try Philippines as well as Filipino as well as other variations.
So, if Mahayana Filipino doesn't come up, try just Mahayana, and you find it is a branch of Buddhism. So you might try "buddhism philippines" as a search in Google. And other variations.
For help, ask a librarian. They not only know about books, they also know about the Internet. Your college has librarians who are paid to teach people these things.

Ashley,
I'm not sure what type of research you are looking for, but PolicyArchive might be able to help you out. It's a public policy research archive with over 20,000 articles from some of the top think tanks, universities, government and foundation-funded research centers. It's great because you can find a ton of research in one place, without having to spend a bunch of time searching the internet (and it's free).
The site has plenty of topics ranging from human rights and religion to economics and international relations. If you are interested, here's the site: http://PolicyArchive.org
Hope it helps and good luck with that paper!

well if you know what you wanna do then i would suggest coming up with a name and then registering it at your city's tax office first then go from there.

It's the best job in the world. You sit in a desk and surf the net all day. But if you want to keep your job, you'll need to use your knowledge to locate information for others and possibly write reports on industry trends related to the internet.
Good luck.

Check google, Ask.com, yahoo.
Just type in the question. "How to legally sell dvd movies on the internet."
Also check legal website. I think Findlaw.com might help.
