Money-Spinning Opportunity: Become an Internet Research Specialist

Earn Fabulous Income in Naira and Foreign Currencies Every Hour Doing Internet Research. No Experience Necessary! No Capital Required!!

Do you like to surf the Web?

Ever used Google?

Would you like to get paid just browsing the internet the way you are used to?



I'm talking about $50 or N5000 an hour at a minimum. It could be a great part-time way to make extra money. If you go full-time, you could make a very nice living -- more than some bankers do. And in either case, you don't have to worry about going to an office, a 9-to-5 schedule, or any of that corporate hassle.



You work where you want, with whom you want, when you want it.

The Internet provides a vast amount of information. If you can quickly and efficiently navigate through that wealth of information, and essentially find something useful, you can create a very successful business as an Internet researcher.

Let me give you some type of research businesses are looking for. This list is not all inclusive. But it should help to get your wheels turning to figure out how you want to position yourself in the research business.

What type of internet research can I do for companies and agencies?

Here is a list of examples:



Market Research
Keyword Research
Content/Information Research
Fact Checking
Background Checking
Competitive Analysis
Business Research
Product Research
Medical Research
Image/Audio research
Social Media Research

Many people assume that they have no marketable skills that other people would want to use, but in the vast majority of cases that simply isn’t true.

You might think that because you can’t write, you can’t make any money online or offline. Not true. Can’t design or draw anything either? Not a problem.

The solution for many people is to take on simple research jobs for other people who don’t have the time to do it themselves. The word ‘research’ tends to bring to mind stuffy libraries and reams of paperwork but that isn’t the case nowadays. Thanks to the internet. Research can be a quick and easy task, and the fact that some people still don’t have the time to do it themselves means big money making opportunities for you.

The great thing about offering up your skills as a researcher is that you don’t necessarily have to specialize in any one particular area. One client might need information on keywords that other websites use so they can determine how to structure their own site content. Someone else might want to get information about a particular subject so they can write a book about it.

As an Internet researcher you'll work with writers, marketers, authors, website owners, publishing companies and other businesses to find information they need for their blogs, websites, articles, books, e-books, products, special reports etc.

Wikipedia defines internet research as "the practice of using the

Internet, especially the World Wide Web, for research."

And research is simply "looking up something".

Becoming an internet researcher, to me, is one of the simplest and

least expensive businesses to start online. As an internet researcher,

your job is to provide your clients with the most relevant, factual

information available on their topic, niche, market, etc.

How to Do Internet ResearchHow to Do Internet ResearchUse the appropriate research tools The tools you use to perform Internet research may vary depending on your topic or

assignment. Use major search engines such as Google, Bing, or Yahoo to perform your research; as these

tools will provide you with access to nearly all published websites made available to the public. These search engines will also display and rank websites for you according to topic relevancy based on the keywords you entered into the search engine.

Use keywords relevant to the topic you are researching Use specific keyword phrases to locate the most relevant information. For example, if you are

looking for information on how to perform an oil change on a 2006 Honda Accord, enter specific keywords such as "oil change instructions 2006 Honda Accord" instead of a basic phrase such as "perform an oil change," which may bring back thousands of results for websites that feature oil changes on motorcycles, buses, boats, and all other automobiles.

Use alternate words or keyword phrases to locate additional research sources. For example, if you are performing research on foreign movies, use the words "films" or "shows" in place of movies to find additional sources that may provide you with more information on your research topic.

Review several pages of search results for valid information In most cases, search engines such as Google, Bing, and Yahoo will rank search results

based on specific algorithms, such as website popularity. Look beyond the first page of search results to find information for your research. In some

cases, you may be able to find websites with helpful information beyond the first 5 pages of search results.

Determine that the website is a credible and reliable source If you are gathering facts for your research, you will want to verify that the information is

being provided by professionals or certified experts in that particular field or subject. Read the "About Us" section of a website to learn more about the authors or organization

publishing the information. Review the extension of the website in the address bar to determine the source. If the

website ends in ".edu," ".gov," or ".org," the information on the website is overseen by a school, government entity, or non-profit organization, respectively, and in most cases, is accurate.

Use current information for your Internet research Some information is time-sensitive, and the sources you may find and use may be

outdated or inaccurate. For example, if you are performing research on popular computer software, use information from an article published within the last few weeks or months, instead of an article published from several years ago.

Review each website for grammatical errors and broken links If the website is credible and reliable, grammar and spelling should be accurate and all

links should take you to the appropriate landing page. Websites with numerous grammatical errors and broken links may be copying their information from another source or may not be legitimate

Cite or list all the Internet sources used in your research This process is helpful if you need to revisit a website to include more information in your

research, or if you need to provide your client with a list of sources used to compile your information.

Copy or document the exact website link you used to access and provide information for your Internet research.

I know this is a lot of questions. But they are essential questions that must be answered before you start on your online business journey. Therefore, once you have made  the decision to start an online business, your next step is to begin your research. Regardless of whether you know what you want to do or not, conducting online research is your first step to success.

Market Research

Market research consist of collecting, maintaining and organizing information about your market. Your market is the broad area your business products and services caters to. You want to evaluate and analyze the information gathered to help you make strategic decisions regarding your business and how you serve your customers.

Often new online business owners are not sure what type of business they want to start. If this is you, you would start with something general that your are good at or passionate about. This usually starts with something very broad. Let's say you are passionate about website design. This is a very broad topic. There are many aspects of website design you can focus on. Not to mention most broad markets may have bigger companies that will be hard to compete with.

Niche Research A niche is a smaller specialized segment of your broad market. While conducting your

broad market research, you should find that various narrow segments resonate with you more. Maybe you have specialized training in a certain aspect of your market. Or you have experience working with a particular industry. You may have noticed an unmet need while conducting your market research.

Online business owners can increase their chance of success when they can specialize in a particular niche. It can be difficult to compete with larger more established companies in your market. Depending on the niche you choose, you may find that you have very little competition. And may be able to dominate it quickly.

In conducting your niche research, your main focus should be finding a smaller segment. What are you good at or don't mind the learning curve. Then as you research your niche look for what people are saying they want but no one else may be offering it. Can you develop a product or service to meet this need?

(Cont’d(Cont’d))Keyword Research

Keywords are the words or phrases people type into search engines, like Google, to locate information. Keyword research is when you locate the specific keywords or keyword phrases your potential customers are using to find information about your niche. When done correctly, keyword research can be very informative. Using keyword research, you can determine how often people are searching for specific terms each day. As well as estimates of how many other sites are offering information on these same topics. In other words, how much competition you have in your niche.

There are various free and fee-based keyword tools that can be used to automate this process. Google Keyword Tool or Wordtraker Free Keyword Tool are too commonly used free keywords tools.

Ideal Client Research You know your market. You have narrowed down your niche. You have a list of keywords

that potential clients are searching for. Next you need to determine, who are you going to sell to. Who is your ideal client? Who will jump at the opportunity to buy the product or service you are offering? They are just dying to get it. Wondering where you have been all their life.

It is essential for the success of your online business to conduct research to find out what is it that your ideal client wants. What are their pain points in your niche? What keeps them up at night. What problems are they having in this area? Can you produce a product or service that can solve these problems?

You want the words on your site to speak your ideal client's language. Find out where they hang out at. Which social media sites do they frequent? What forums do they participate in? Subscribe to newsletters and blogs they might read. You may even want to join memberships or associations they are a part of. You should be everywhere they are. So you can lean in and listen to what your ideal clients are asking for.

Competitor Research Once you have all the information about your niche, keywords, and ideal client, it's time to

research your competition. Find some of the top key players in your niche that also serve your ideal client. Why is this important? Because you can pay attention to what they are doing for your ideal client. What type of products and services are they offering to them. What's working for them and what's not? Better yet, where have they dropped the ball in your niche that you can quickly fill?

You may want to subscribe to their newsletters and/or blogs. Or you can purchase some of their products to get a better understanding of what they're offering to your ideal client. There are tools available that allow you to "spy" on your competition. Spyfu.com is the site I use for this. You can find out what keywords your competitors are using to drive traffic to their site, thru both organic and paid search. And use these same keywords for your site.

Alexa.com also allows you to research your competition. If you enter their domain name, you can find out lots of information about their site. Examples of information Alexa.com can provide is an overview of their traffic stats, search analytics and audience snapshots. As well as high impact search queries.
