How to Do Internet Research


Use 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 topical relevance 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.

How Much Can I Make As An Internet Research Specialist?
The rates researchers charge varies. It depends on your experience, as well as what industry you are in; and the type of clients you serve. Researchers can start charging anywhere from $15-$30 per hour. But this amount can go up to $100 or more per hour. These higher rates are common for “Independent Information Professionals”.
