Internet Research - Getting Paid to Surf

The Internet has a wealth of information for all to use and many companies want certain that information and are willing to pay people to find it. There is work out the for Internet researchers who will be assigned jobs of researching via the Internet on a wide range of genres, topics or questions.

The Internet is taken for granted by many nowadays, but there are still many people who aren't familiar with it or are too busy to spend time on it. There’s a gap in the market for those who have a facility to extract information from a web search. You simple put yourself out to hire as in Internet researcher for people like solicitors or authors and you get paid for it.

An example of a company that does this is AQA 63336 they answer thousands of questions for clients every day by using Internet researchers and pay for every question researchers find. I actually worked for them in the UK a few years ago and found they are an up front and honest set up. Their services however they don't cater for Bulgaria where I live now so I had to drop them. You need to be fluent in English and have good writing skills and they will give you a short test before considering you.

Most research work is on a self-employed basis and like ASA may involve some form or trial or test for you to secure a contract. It does take a little knowledge тo become a good researcher, а little knowledge on how to get into archives that aren't accessible through normal search engines is something you have to learn. Most decent companies contracting you will give an in house guide or a little training on strategies that can be used. Or you can take up an online training course yourself before you apply for work, this will give you a head start and enhance any testing you will have to go through.

The field of Internet research is very diverse but there will always work out there as it involves time, which is what you are getting be paid for. The average pay is around 10 pounds an hour

Make note and be warned though, there are some companies or individuals masquerading as legitimate companies that are recruiting that ask for money up front for training or setting you up. Just don't entertain these companies. There is no reason at all for you having to pay to get work, it should be the other way round, so don't drawn in by the hype and subsequently get conned.

Getting Rewarded for Blogging - Why Not?

Blogging is a passion of mine, I really couldn't live without it. Many a day I sit here typing away thinking, God I wish I could afford to do this all the time. A pipe dream, maybe so, but there are many ways in which a little income can be made from blogging, it is just a case of choosing which is right for you.

The thought of getting paid to blog sometimes fills my head with lingering doubts about whether it would be enjoyed as much as writing blogs without being directed. I suppose it is a case of choosing whom you and what want to write about when doing it under contract. There are hundred of advertisers out there and many have products or services you approve of. With the aid of Internet sites for resources to draw upon, you will never be short of information to write about. Many of my resourced information covering most areas is extracted from Wikipedia.com, I feel that many facts I write about would not be there without this free aid.

In my case some of my blogs actually promote goods and services without being paid or commissioned to do so. I am actually advertising for these companies for nothing other than on the basis that it is my humble valued opinion that I want to express to a public that wants to know. It may be a positive of a negative aspect but I want to write about it anyway.

So what the difference in writing blogs just for pleasure and getting paid to blog? At the end of the day I will still be the boss and choose to write or not to write about goods and services that I see fit to report on. On that principle and as long it stays that way I think I will take it up.

There are many sites that offer payment for a blog to be written from advertisers. One in particular that I had just heard about. It was actually from a blogging friend who had been using them for a while and she was more than happy with the service. If you would care to check out our blog located at: http://www.payingpost.com/blog/ please do.In addition, their creation fee is 50% less than their competitors, which is another good reason to join up.

Dog Walking - Leads to Extra Money

There are millions of dogs and all of them need to be walked two or three times each day. There are also millions of dog owners who cannot manage to do this; therefore there is a gap in the market for dog walkers.

А Dog Walker will go to pet owners' homes and take the dog or dogs for a walk for payment, it is as simple as that. If you like walking, like dogs and don't mind a daily routine this is an ideal way of making an extra bit of money for something you enjoy. Not too many of these scenarios about.

Dog walkers’ hours of work are usually from around midday to earlier evening since most dogs will need a lunchtime and evening walk. If you are available during the day, this will be just up your street so to speak.

There is no special training needed to be a dog walker although you should have a basic understanding of dog behaviour and be aware of the warning signs of dogs alongside proper lead handling techniques. You must also be sure that you can handle the strength and size of some larger dogs before you agree to walk the dog.

Dog walking requires hardly any money to start up. The most expensive cost is insurance, a must with this kind of work. Then there a the little overheads such as business forms so that you have permission to enter a client's home and have it in writing how much they owe you so you get paid. Advertising cost as you may want to advertise on the web or in the paper. This is obviously an open-end budget and it is up to you as to how much you want to spend.

There are a few companies that specialise in dog walkers insurance. This website gives a list of many that you can choose from: http://www.britishinformation.com/dog-walkers-insurance/ There are also many tips that these insurance companies give in line with this business.

Rates of pay from customers will vary greatly from one end of the country to the other. The best way to find your rates pitch is to check out your competition, they should also be advertising. You want to place your rates in line with your competitors don’t try and undercut, you will be undervaluing your service and this will be seen as such. Most people who want dog walkers are looking for a profession service and are willing to pay for that.

Dog walking is generally done by the amount of time the owner wants the dog to be walked. So, it is best to have a time-based pay scale in which they can choose from. You may wish to include a monthly discount plan to encourage long-term contracts and pay in advance.

Sending an article about your business to the local paper is a very good idea for free advertisements. It will give you the best exposure possible. You can get listed in the local papers and the phone book. Some are paid for some are free it depends where you are living but worth checking out. Don't forget you will be advertised continuously in these publications. Get flyers everywhere, they can be hand delivered while you are out walking the dogs! Local vets are a good place to display your ad or business card or give referrals. Get to know your vet and they will refer you to their customers.

You will need to draw up the details of the services you are offering to customers. A contract is quite difficult to write up so it may be worth getting it done professionally keeping in mind this is a form most of your clients will be signing. If it is not done properly or professionally, you may well lose business. Another angle to save money is to get an agreement from another dog walker and use that as you template with a few adjustments in text.

One of the best pieces of advice is to get a website. These are known to generate a lot of 'leads' (excuse the pun) in this type of business. Many find their needs nowadays looking on the Internet. Most sites can be set up for free.

Finally, the best advertising of all is word of mouth. Tell everyone about your service that you are offering, everyone knows someone who owns a dog, they will go to you first is they know about you. Such an obvious way to attract business, but so many people overlook this.
