 Steps to Do Research on any Topic

How to do research?

Hey! Do you know how to research any topic anytime by using a device having an Internet connection and a browser? Well, today I am here to discuss this Topic.

In this era whether you are a student, a content writer, or even an employee of a company. You may need to search for something sometime. Even if you are graduated person from a high standard College you may see this task difficult. Do not worry because today in this article we will look at steps one should follow to research any topic for any reason.

Step to Follow:

1. Identify the topic
2. Plan Keywords
3. Search on different Platforms
4. Ask from People
5. Make notes
6. Proofread

Identifying Topic:

The very first step is the identification of the topic. You must know the topic you are going to search for online. For example, if you are asked by your Boss to research the best way to advertise their product then tell me what is your Topic?

Looks a little bit confusing, doesn’t it?. Well, you can split the Topic and then can use the first part as the base of the other. As the first part can be “Where is the most demand of (your product)?” and the other can be “What is the best way to advertise in (the location you found after researching the first part)?”

It's just an example you may have a Topic that does need to be split into parts. Like, If your College’s assignment is How to make our atmosphere clean?. You have an identified topic.

Planning Keywords and Its Importance:

To get high-quality results from the Internet you need to search for targeted keywords. Do you know that Content writers online follow some keywords to get more traffic? By using the same method of following some keywords you can get precise information on your desired topic. Look a good and well-experienced blogger or content writer knows SEO and if he/she is following a keyword that means they are providing Information most relevant to that specific keyword. That means if you follow the most relevant keyword you can get more precise information as a result.

Now, the question is How to find the most relevant keywords to your Topic? The answer is really simple you can use the keyword searcher tool online. Just type your topic and the tool will tell you different keywords to choose the most relevant to your topic. There is another way for finding the keywords. That is when you search for your topics in search engines like GOOGLE or Bing they show you related searches to topics those searches are the keywords people have searched for.

Where To Search?:

You may think that the answer to this question is on search engines like Google. The answer is not that simple. Sometimes you may not get your desired information just on search engines then What to do in that case?

Use Social media along with search engines. Yes, I am serious you may find many things on social media. You can use # with keywords on Twitter and Facebook. For example, if you are searching for a person like a politician. You can look in his/her social media account to analyze many things.

Don't forget to use Wikipedia. I personally love Wikipedia. You can find out too much information on a single topic there with references.

Ask from Professionals:

There are people in many professions who are willing to help. The main problem here is finding professionals for a single Topic but do not worry we have Quoro now these days. Quora is a platform where you can sign up for free and can ask questions the people from the community who know about the question give answers.

You can also contact the bloggers via the contact form on their websites. Maybe some won't reply still it's a worthy thing to try. You can also find many professionals on Linkedin. Do not hesitate and just ask. Do not be rude start your conversation formally for example “ Hello! I hope you are doing well. I am (your name) working on a (project name) and need your help in this topic (topic). Thanks”

Find Facebook groups to related topics and fields. Ask by posting direct questions and see the magic.

Make Notes:

After collecting Information start making Notes properly. You may have created small rough notes on the parts of the topics. Start correctly adding them all.

You can create proper notes by placing paragraphs and titles in order. As the first article can be the introduction of the topic then comes the main headings and at the end a conclusion or last words topic.

Make proper notes even if you have just researched for your presentation at university or office. This will help you find errors and mistakes in your research. If you have done all things perfectly then these notes will motivate you before your presentation.

Proofreading:

While researching a topic and creating your final notes there are many chances that you make many mistakes like you may skip something or you may make grammar mistakes. Proofread your topic after everything is done. Believe it proofreading may save you.

While researching a topic anything can happen as you search for What is a computer but in the results, you find out links to the android topic and that's also is a part of your research and then you jump to that link and skip the computer one. There are chances that you find these types of errors while making Final notes but still proofreading is important.

Proofread your final notes before submitting or uploading.

Conclusion:

First, identify your topic and find the best keyword to search for using social media platforms along with search engines and ask from professionals either by directly contacting them or by using Facebook’s groups or Quora. Make final notes and proofread them.
