Research is the lifeblood in every quality product. There are people who search information, gather content together and sell it for a nice profit. Do the hard work in researching effectively in the beginning, make a quality information product, then reap the rewards for some time to come. Here's an acronym to help you think of ways to research.
I use the acronym S.I.T.E. to remind me of the major sites to visit when researching for new ideas
S - SUPERCENTER. I - INFORMATION hubs T - TARGETED search E - ENVIRONMENT
1. SUPERCENTER
Google is the first place where people usually go to find a certain topic. It is the best place to find good information. Google is the "supercenter" of the entire search engine. If you're aiming to get the best information, then start your search on Google. Look for "ways to" and "how to" in addition to keyphrases and keywords in relation to your topic.
2. INFORMATION hubs
If you want to find a general idea for your topic, as much as possible use the first page of Google results. You can also do that in general information sites (Howstuffworks eHow, and Wikipedia). Those are great information hubs that can give you different ideas. It will also provide you information on what is really going on in the business world. In order for your product to be useful, you must research a little more.
3. TARGETED search
Search for information that is sometimes out of the way but still relevant in regards to your topic. Try to use some specialty search engines like Questia for a deeper idea about your topic. If your looking for a finance topic, look for blogs or journals about finance to complete it. By digging a little deeper, you can find accurate and quality information.
4. ENVIRONMENT
Aside from search engines and specialty search engines, you can search at forums related to your topic for additional information. It is a perfect community-style environment in gathering some ideas. The people who are members in forums in your niche have in depth knowledge or resources that can't easily be found in search engines. By looking in forums, you can have that insider's view which is so vital to your writing. If you're not an insider, you can forge it by looking in forums.
Don't ever forget the library! Library is still the best means to gather information to your topic. As much as possible visit the library since there are some topics, like internet marketing that abruptly change. Thus perennial topics such as baby care, finance or gardening can greatly be improved through researching in books. So pack your things and spend some time studying at the library for more accurate information.
That research information will help make your product a useful resource to those people who belong in your niche. Though searching topics in the library may take some time than rewriting a Wikipedia entry, its worth it especially when your customer is satisfied.
