We receive more queries on this topic than almost any other, and unfortunately that’s why there are so many scams in the data entry field — the demand for work far exceeds the advertised supply. Desperation, too, often plays a painful role.

Many people just want to find part-time work or occasional projects they can do at home for a reasonable wage. No Ph.D. or MBA or expensive IT certifications required, just some basic work to help pay the bills. Darkening the landscape, however, is credit card debt. Easy introductory rates soon give way to heavy monthly minimums, and families everywhere are struggling with the burden — especially during the holiday season. This creates desperation, and desperation is the scammer’s favorite word.

The Offshore Outsourcing Factor

In the corporate world, data entry is considered a “back office” or “business process” function. The outsourcing of business processes — or BPO, as it’s known — became an established trend long ago (that’s the good news), but a great deal of it goes to India, the Philippines, and other developing nations rather than to home-based workers in the United States, where labor costs are higher (the bad news).

And while it’s true that some call center work is returning to North America and being given to home-based agents (the “homeshoring” movement, which we covered in our last article), we haven’t yet seen a comparable trend in data entry tasks.

Where to Find Work

Not all businesses, however, have sent their back office work to India, and a significant amount remains. Smaller businesses in particular make up a large potential pool of back office or administrative work, with lawyers, Realtors ™, dentists and similar service providers in the mix. (You’ll have to be proactive, though, to win their business, with at minimum a basic website and an effective marketing plan.) Their contact information can be found through Google searches, trade associations such as the National Association of Realtors (http://www.realtor.org), or the chambers of commerce.
Other legitimate companies and organizations hire home-based data entry and other administrative workers on a periodic or ongoing basis, and our own research has identified 25 of these. (For details, see http://www.ratracerebellion.com/jobs-admin.htm.)


Spotting Scams and Bad Deals

Scammers continually refine their techniques, and it would be a mistake to underestimate them. However, they often give themselves away in their efforts to grab your attention and “make the sale.” Here are a few quick ways to spot the bad apples. (For more, see our article “Work-at-Home Scams,” at http://www.military.com/opinion/0,15202,146203,00.html.)

-- The job lead arrives as spam in your e-mail. (Helpful hint: These ads should simply be deleted. If you reply asking that your email address be removed, you’ve just confirmed to the spammer that your address is “live,” and you’ll get more spam.)

-- The promised income is unreasonable for the work involved. (Data entry work rarely pays more than $10-$15 per hour, so don’t let yourself be taken in by promises of thousands of dollars for “just a few hours of work per week.”)

-- The ad features palm trees, a mansion, a Ferrari, etc. (Administrative assistants may have “come a long way,” but it’s still not known as a route to riches.)

Other offers might not be classified strictly as scams, but give poor value for money. One we often see is the “pay for stale job leads” arrangement, where the buyer is promised a list of job leads or companies that hire data entry and similar workers. When the list arrives, it contains outdated job ads, companies no longer in business, non-functioning web links, etc.

In the end, as with any job, data entry work comes down to focused efforts, research, and making the right choices. There are more than 20 million small businesses in the United States alone, and the vast majority has never been asked to outsource their administrative work. Gather your courage, pop the question, and the job may be yours.

Great work that doesn't get boring!

Blog Entries

A lot of individuals and even companies are willing to spend money on people who will maintain their blogs for them. The problem here is that these people actually have all the ideas for their blogs but they either don't know how to put it in words or just cannot be bothered with manually entering that data into a blog. Therefore, these tasks are offered as online data entry jobs for anyone who will take them. There is a quota to reach each day but you can expect to be paid at the end of each day or whatever is most convenient for the payer.
Twitter Entries

Twitter has fast become one of the biggest online communities where people connect with each other and share information with one another. This is the reason why more and more people want to be on Twitter but when they do join, they don't really know what to post. This is where you can come in. You can get paid to maintain a Twitter account and online data entry jobs like this are one in a million. Just think how easy it is to place in 140 character entries including links just to direct people to other websites!

Website Articles

Of course, online marketing is still a big thing because it is what attracts visitors to various websites. This is one of the biggest paying online data entry jobs and a lot of people get into this activity just to make a few extra bucks. However, with the right guidance and concentration this can mean big money for the person working the job. You may want to consider this if you have the knack for churning hundreds of words in just hours a day. The only requirement is that you write on specific topics that are assigned to you by certain individuals or companies.

However, you may need to decide what a real opportunity is and what is a scam as there are many online entities out there claiming they are the real deal and they can get you data entry work as soon as you sign up. These companies state you can make $500-$1000 a day working online just a few minutes a day. They show fancy cars and big houses with Lear jets parked outside and pictures of supposed copies of their paychecks proving to you that you too can earn that type of income if you just spend $50 to join their program.
You may look for data entry work by checking free online job sites. It is very easy to do. To start you need a valid email address then you can sign-up to any job site that you like. You will have to post your resume. Make sure that your resume is error free and it speaks of your skills and other qualifications that will help service buyers make the decision to award you with projects. After posting your resume and you already made an account search for jobs, send service buyers your application letter and don't bid too high.

Online job sites outsource job opportunities to third world countries and service providers in such countries are known for their excellent service and cheap rates so if you are still starting and you have not yet established your name it is better to bid low. Once you are granted with a project prove to your service buyers that you are a dependable service provider so that you will get high ratings. Job sites will post your service ratings online and if you have low ratings then chances are you will find difficulty in finding new projects. I would recommend that you try five job sites: Odesk, Elance, Developreneurs, Design Quote and Aquent.

Searching for a job in this occupation through online job sites may take time and it can be very tiresome. If you can afford to spend money on gourmet coffee everyday why not make a little sacrifice and invest it in your future instead? My-Data-Team is legitimate and offers a very affordable onetime fee to its subscribers. Once you will become a member you will be provided training to polish your skills and you will be taught on how to follow the five step program so that you will achieve your career goals.

Like most of new home business seekers I started out looking for a Data Entry Job online, and like most of them I ended up losing $50 on some scam site that gave me information that was available for free if I looked hard enough. The $50 may not seem to be much money, but the experience I gained from it was worth it– You know the old saying “If anything seems too good to be true, it isn't”, well it's true!.

Today the internet is full of Data Entry Scams – everywhere you look you will find an add saying “Make $500 - $1000 a day from your home working just a few minutes a day”. Experienced people will see that this is a Scam, but to online newbies like me 2 years ago it looked like a great opportunity to earn some quick money on the side. I am not saying that all these programs do not work as sometimes they do work. Here is a brief description of how they work.
What they do is they will take a one time fee from you to give a tutorial to you explaining how to post similar ads like those you responded to online. The catch is you sell on their behalf and may make money – or you may not! And also it’s quick money and not a long term security.

So now, answering the question – If there are still legitimate online data entry jobs out there – I would say yes there are! But you will have to know the right place to look for it. The best place to begin are free lance opportunities. There are places like Elance and Contracted Work which posts the requirement of people who require data entry operators on contract basis and there is always a legitimate Data Entry Job available there! Start from such places and once you get some recognition requests just come pouring in. Who knows you may also start your own successful data entry company some day!!! All you have to do is just hang in there.

My website data-entry-work.net has both the pay $49 quick start program that has all the links to these freelance websites, along with links to real companies that are offering jobs to home workers in states all over the country and the world. Additionally, I have free web stuff for the newbies who want to get started for little to no money at all. Come by and take a look for yourself. I am always available to help you get started full time or part time.
