How much time do you spend researching?

Sometimes, hours if new topic of research.

Probably 20% of my time is spent conducting research around the invoice finance industry and I then publish the results which accounts for another 40%. It always takes longer to construct the analysis and articles than to undertake the research itself. It also always amazes me how few of our colleagues around the industry actually conduct any research themselves. Its crucial to helping people make sound decisions in an industry such as ours.

Not enough usually. Easily distracted and research takes time.

Joseph, a key part in my mind. Thanks.

R & D is a part of success.

U mean survey sites ?...boring

what is actually research and it depends ?

I am researching any topic when i am free from other activity because of any research takes time.

For me, It varies but I can say I probably spend more time than most average surfers.

Since I write articles, I research and search a lot. Probably 80% and 20% writing. I just purchased a 2012 Almanac for quotes and facts.

Sam, the time you spend is worth it not to get caught up in worthless junk. Be careful with testimonials most of the time they are made up. Thanks.

Priya, thank you so much for sharing.

Wanda, you're grabbing more and more of my attention with your wonderful shares. Thanks.

om, free is sometimes better. Thanks.

Carlos, thanks for your share I guess we all should.

Scot, since my question is in the Internet & eBusiness section I would say anything pertaining to...but open for anything you want to talk about. Thanks.

I research every opportunity before i get involved at least 5 hours thorough it does not have to be in one day, but over many days. Its easy search, read testimonials, visit social networking sites

Always i search before joining with any site

As much as I can,there is so much relative information out there and I like to keep an open mind as I learn more and more.I guess you can say I never stop researching.

I spend lot of time on internet searching various stuff like make money online without investment etc.,
