If there is an area of knowledge that you are particularly strong in, you may want to consider registering as an expert on a Q&A site that pays its experts. Techdirt is the only example that springs to mind right now but there are probably better ones. Note that with your skills, you don`t necessarily have to have all the answers but should be able to find them quickly.

Another way is to find an area that is of interest to a wide range of people and start a blog that unearths interesting and otherwise unavailable facts/news about this area of interest. I would suggest that personal improvement and entertainment are two of such areas. As an example, see what Steve Pavlina has done with his blog, writing on subjects ranging from how to wake up early in the morning to how to make money from your blog.

Finally, it seems to me that you have half an idea about the sort of business you want to pursue. You may therefore want to try idea tagging. Besides, being a researcher/analyst type you might find it fun unravelling other people`s clues on the site. Check it out to see what I mean. Good luck finding an idea.

What about writing an article about researching.

You will get lots of feedback if you do this and it make help you decide what to do.

See a site called Writingup http://www.writingup.com/blog/rexiedexie See getting started. or http://www.writingup.com/?referer=6406

What about Movies & Television?

There is a lot of varied research going on behind the scenes!

Think about you favorite shows. What research was behind the storyline, etc?

It could be fun too!

The biggest problem that I face is that of a lack of writing skills. I am more the type who can compile information. I have thought of the idea of digitizing documents for people. I am sure there are business` out there who do this. I am more towards individuals not so much businesses. Individuals have papers that they have in which they want to keep but dont necessarily <see how bad my spelling is> want to keep them around the house. So You could have them scanned and sorted to their likings. This would eliminate the paper folders in the office.

I have yet to look up and see the existing business or services available like the one that I have descibed. If you know of one or have used one let me know!!

So what I think you are trying to say is that I didnt really want help?? That I knew all along what I wanted to do.

You like researching.

You Must be pretty good at it.

Everybody I have ever known hast had to do some research of their own.

Since you are so good at it  what don`t you Teach people how to be a good as yourself at the act of researching.  

Maybe a program for the E-learning project.

Hoot
