The Idea:
Get paid to look up information for others.
How it Works:
If you've got a talent for finding information, you can make a killing selling your skills.
You can choose to specialize in specific types of research- locating the latest research on heart disease for doctors or compiling lists of new cell phone technology for phone manufacturers.
Or you can take on different projects depending on the customer, offering your skills to anyone who needs a first-rate researcher.
Some information brokers work for private investigators, locating phone numbers, addresses or last known whereabouts of specific individuals through online databases.
How Much Can You Make:
Depending on your clients and your specialty, you can make between $20,000 -50,000 a year as an information broker.
