Here is an interesting site sponsored by Amazon.com that allows you to make money (not much at a time, though) by helping other people with research. It’s called Mechanical Turk, and it gives the average user the opportunity to answer questions posted by other users and get paid for their answers. One example: A user asks for ideas for a 30th birthday party. Your answers are worth (drumroll, please) 3 cents. On the other side of things, YOU could use Mechanical Turk to run a survey and get ideas for nearly anything.
Make money on the internet!

What a neat idea! I ran into a problem at work last year trying to design a useful database using Microsoft Access. I had a college student working on it, but he left before it was done, and I haven’t been able to figure it out by myself. I’m tempted to post the problem at Turk and see if I have any takers. It’s probably the kind of thing a wiz could solve in a few minutes.
