    I was considering doing this with family trees. I absolutely love sitting at home and getting it done for people - i jsut did my mother in laws after like 2 weeks as a chrismtas present to her and all i had to go on was her mums death certificate and that was it - now i am back to her great great great grandparents. Wonder if it would be worth looking into?

    I work for AQA and have for over a year now.

    It is now my full time job after taking redundancy.

    It is not a get rich quick idea - it takes quite a lot of work to earn a decent crust. I work 6, somtimes 7 days a week, whatever hours I fancy and just about bring home enough to pay the mortgage, bills, food etc on my own.

    However, for anyone wanting to work from home, who has good knowledge of the Internet and has a nose for finding out facts, it is a god send. It helped me pay huge chunks off my debt last year as a second job.

  • I have just passed the initial test and am waiting for my induction into AQA. I am glad to hear that you are making a decent income from it. Well done! I love research and can spend hours trawling through the internet looking for answers. Also would love to clear a huge chunk off my debt.

    Is the induction hard to do? Do people still fail at this stage?

    Hi

    How do you get into AQA? my day job requires me to perform searches for information, so this would be ideal. Is there a link to an application form that you could post.

    Thanks

    You have to do the little online test and pass it in order to apply. It's general knowledge on three subjects of your choosing, then a bit of reading and answering questions, then some basic maths and finally some web based research. I tried 3 times last night and failed all three times. I don't think there's any limit on how many times you can do the test.

    That texperts test was fun! I managed 100% on all the sections :D except the last question which doesn't score you as it's written.
