It is a good idea to volunteer with a local genealogical society or an online genealogy Web site to keep in touch with a network of fellow genealogists, which will help to further develop your skills.
Think about what types of research interests you, the access you have to necessary resources, and the profitability of doing research as a business. Make a list of your goals as a professional genealogist.
You cannot run a successful business without knowing about accounting, taxes, advertising, licenses, and time management. So, develop your business skills and learn to solve a wide variety of genealogical problems.
