Who could give me ideas about starting my own business – helping businesses with their research and writing?
I have a B.A. in English. My work experience includes proofreading and writing. I’ve had a difficult time finding jobs in the southwestern city I live in, and am getting tired working for a boss. I enjoy learning new things about health mostly, but also am interested in many other subjects, so I’d offer my research services to people or businesses that don’t have time to do research. Yes, they could use Google or Yahoo Answers, but I would offer to do more thorough research. I would use not only the Internet, but also go to the library and bookstores to search for info-then offer to write up my findings in a summary….Does this sound like a good service to offer? How much would I charge? Based on my level of experience, or looking at what other “information consultants” might charge?
You would be perfect for an online copywriting business. There are many websites who need proofreading and you can do that work for them making sure that their sentences are gramatically correct and free of errors.
Here are some resources to give you basics of how this business works

Or you can consider an information broker business, where you do research for other people and help them find information (much more detailed and accurate than something like Yahoo Answers).

Rainmaker [VHS] $1.25 When viewed from a cranky perspective, this by-the-book David vs. Goliath story doesn’t offer any surprises, and it’s a bit sad to watch director Francis Coppola (who also adapted John Grisham’s bestseller) squandering his once-glorious talent on such conventional Hollywood fare. In a more charitable light, however, there’s great pleasure to be found in Coppola’s intelligent, no-nonsense handling … |

Far From Heaven $1.54 This uniquely beautiful film–from one of the smartest and most idiosyncratic of contemporary directors, Todd Haynes (Safe, Velvet Goldmine)–takes the lush 1950s visual style of so-called women’s pictures (particularly those of Douglas Sirk, director of Imitation of Life and Magnificent Obsession) to tell a story that mixes both sexual and racial prejudice. Julianne Moore, an amazing fusion… |
