04 Nov 08 Legitimate Data Entry
Data entry is a popular way to make money online, especially if you’re new to working from home. However, as with most work at home opportunities, there are quite a few data entry scams floating about. So how do you avoid the scams and find legitimate data entry?
Here’s a few tips:
Online data entry is different to what many people expect (it’s not the same as offline data entry) - do your research and know what it’s about before trying it out. Data entry might not be for you.
Avoid data entry sites that make unrealistic income claims. Do you really think it’s possible to earn $500+ every day working for only 30 minutes? I thought so. Deep down you KNOW there’s no such thing as ‘get rich quick’. The average data entry worker would earn $100-$250 a day with a program like Data Entry Made Easy, and although you can do it part time you’ll still need to spend a few hours a day.
Check out a number of different data entry programs - although many claim to teach you the same thing, often the quality of information and instruction is very varied. Sometimes it’s almost incoherent, and without simple step by step instructions you could very easily not make a cent online.
Look out for testimonials. Although these can certainly be faked, a legitimate data entry program should have genuine testimonials including the persons full name, picture and where they are from.
Always look for a money back guarantee. Data entry scams usually don’t include one, or if they do they may not honor it. Look for other people’s experience with the program you are researching (forums or member reviews can be very useful). A legitimate data entry company will give you a refund no questions asked, if you have honestly tried the program and it didn’t work for you.
In conclusion
Data entry is a great way to make money online, its relatively easy (once you get started) and is a legitimate opportunity. Just be aware that not all data entry programs are very good, in fact many of them are outright scams. I recommend My Data Team, because I have made money with them myself, and because they are a well established and reputable company.
