Data entry jobs are not what is used
to be. I remember back in the 1980's when the personal
computer became popular and was actually revolutionizing the
way that companies did business.
Since computers and mainframes
were becoming a standard for most industries, a lot of
information on paper files had to be imported into the
online mainframe databases. Since there were so many
files that had to be migrated online, companies had to
create dozens of data entry jobs and hire data entry clerks
to do all of this manual work.
Of course, back in the late
80's and early 90's, data entry jobs were very popular and
one could get paid a very HIGH hourly rate of $10-$20 per
hour back then to do this privileged, and high-level task.
Because the requirement was having computer experience,
which very few people had.
Anyway, FAST FORWARD to the
present day, and let's see what Data Entry jobs have become
today.
What are Data Entry jobs
today?
You've seen the ads like
these:
"Data Entry Jobs Available"
"Data Entry Clerks Wanted To Work From Home"
"Do Data Entry And Get Paid $20 An Hour"
"Get Paid To Type"
"Get Paid $3500/Week To Fill Out Forms"
"Make Money
Typing At Home"
....blah blah blah
They're all over the Google
and Yahoo search results, they're in all of the national
tabloid magazines, and I also see them in Pennysaver and
Thrifty Nickel local newspapers.
What You Need To Know
About Data Entry?
In the money-making
business industry, data entry jobs have been loosely
described as different things including:
- Filling out paid
survey forms (look for my review on Paid Surveys coming
soon)
- Filling out
advertisement forms on Google Pay Per Click to promote
Clickbank affiliate programs (see my Section below on
this because this is one of the more common ones)
- Getting paid to type
your opinion (somewhat like Paid Surveys but with a
twist). The twist is sometimes you are getting
paid to read emails and respond with an opinion on the
email or the offer on the email.
Data Entry Jobs Use Google
Pay Per Click and Clickbank (common)
Here's the most common data entry
job program, and what it's
all about. Many of these marketing companies who
promote data entry programs tend to sell it under a
"disguise" of being a legitimate 1980 type of data input
job.
Here's the TRUTH about data
entry jobs...most of them are programs that teach you
how to use advertising platforms like Google Adwords (pay
per click) to promote digital information products on
affiliate networks like
Clickbank to make money online.

Again, what they are really selling you is an
Affiliate Marketing ebook that shows you how to find over
10,000 different products to sell (in the Clickbank
directory), where these companies pay you every 2 weeks
(actually it's only Clickbank that pays you), and to use
Google Adwords to promote these programs --- that's where
the TYPING comes in... because you're typing advertisements.
Pretty sneaky marketing tactic huh?
When I found out about this
"bait and switch", I was pretty disappointed, but I still
tried to make it work. But it's hard to make anything
work when you can't even get an email response to your
questions.
I would get so frustrated
and just ask for a refund. What made me even more
outraged was these scammer denied me of my refunds.
Sure, I lost over a few hundred bucks on these types of
programs in disguise, but I learned a few things about data
entry jobs.
The 4 Problems With Data Entry
Jobs!
- Problem#1: Your supposed to
get some sort of
system, and you only end up getting only a list, and nothing
more.
- Problem#2: Deceptive advertising to make you
think that it's a real data input job that companies are
paying you to do, when in fact they're affiliate programs.
- Problem#3: You need to spend more money
in order to make money, but these program owners will never
tell you that.
- Problem#4: The
programs were very watered down with very little
detailed instructions. You would be lost from the
start. And these owners NEVER return emails.
Another big problem with data entry
jobs and programs is NOT
the actual program itself, but the lack of honesty about what
the programs truly are.
In most cases, like I
mentioned above, they are affiliate and advertising programs,
and using a play on words to trick you into thinking they
are actual telecommuter jobs hired by thousands of
companies, when that is NOT the truth.
Okay, now don't get
me wrong. You can make money with today data entry
job programs, as long
as you understand that you will become an affiliate marketer
using pay per click advertising to send that traffic to your
affiliate links, where you can earn as high as a 75%
commission on plenty of digital information products.
Fortunately, I kept trying
these programs until I found a few that actually worked.
Sure, it cost me a fortune on these type of programs, but luckily
a friend of mine introduced me to a few data entry job programs
that actually are legitimate.
I wrote into these
companies to see if I would get a response and I did.
I also purchased these programs to see if they were any
different, and they were. In fact, these programs had
so many different ideas and techniques that can show even
the newbie how to make an extra $100-$300 a day with data
entry jobs.
With that said, there are
only a few data entry jobs (programs) that I can honestly
recommend. Everything else I've tested were pretty
shady and I hope to help you avoid them.

Review:
National
Data Entry is a popular type at home
program which promises to help members
create an income by working on their
computers in just 1-2 hours a day.
So I
decided to give this one a shot, since
it promises to help members. I'm a
big fan of customer support.
Their bonus products are also pretty
good, especially the 1-on-1 coaching
bonus. This is unheard
of in this industry, to get this much
live help. In fact, just 3 days
after I got started, I received a call
from one of their success coaches who
gave me a personal consultation.
What can I
say? I jumped in the cold water on
the deep end, and had to start swimming
(in a manner of speaking)... But guess
what? I actually earned $648.30 my
first weekend and in just 2 weeks I
was making over $4700!
Yippee!!!!
This was one of the BEST experiences for
me, to easily make the kind of money
that can be done right from the kitchen
table. This program is pretty simple
because you simply fill out online
ad forms, and when a sale is made,
you receive a commission!
The step-by-step instructions (including
videos) found
inside the site make it easy to
understand and to implement but I have
to admit, it's one of the few websites
where my actual results were close to
the results stated on the website, as
you can see by my own personal income
proof above.
This
data entry program can be done
part-time. It only takes me about
30 minutes a day, even though they say
it takes 1-2 hours a day. If you are a
beginner at this, you should expect to
spend a couple of hours a day learning and
implementing the National Data Entry
system.
But
once you get it going, you can shave
down the time it takes to run this
system.
Pros:
-
Can be done in your spare time
-
Worldwide opportunity
-
Great income potential
-
Money back guarantee
-
1-on-1 Advisory consultation
-
Easy step-by-step instruction with
videos
-
Very nice lady & Grade A quality
support
Cons:
Even though it is possible to earn as
much $200 to $500 per day as claimed on the
website in just 1-2 hours a day, I
suggest you take the time to learn every
first and give it an extra hour a day to
begin.
In my
opinion, if you can study all the
training materials in 2 days, and give
yourself a couple more days to get set
up, then I don't see why you wouldn't be
able to reach that target.
There's
really not much to negatively comment
on. The key is to take action and
the steps required.
Don't
fall for data entry scams - I earn money
with National Data Entry every day and it
is simple to do.

Review:
While doing my usual investigative
research on data entry sites, I
accidentally stumbled upon Freelance
Home Writers, which is one of the most
refreshing twists on data entry programs
I've seen in a long time. It's not like
the typical data entry sites, but I'll
tell you one thing -- it's really easy!
In a nutshell, you are paid to write
small articles from home for companies
on a variety of very common and
interesting topics. Topics include
travel, foods and dining, sports and
recreation, home and garden, arts and
entertainment, business, computers,
relationships, book reviews, and ANY
topic you can think of.
The requirement is that you have an
internet connection and can understand
basic English, you'll be perfect for the
job! And if you're not a writer,
don't worry. Many of the articles are
only a few sentences in length and if
you can write basic English, "you're
hired".
You don't need a college degree, and
heck...you don't even need your high
school degree or a GED, because these
companies don't require it. As long as
you can write (just like you speak) on
topics of your choice, you can get paid
for it. I don't know an easier task like
this one where you can stay at home and
write a few paragraphs, submit it, and
get paid. It's definitely easier than
working hourly at a Starbucks coffee
shop.
Here's an example of an article I wrote
in 10 minutes and got paid $18 for it...
|
SAMPLE ARTICLE I WROTE
If you are planning to
vacation in Hawaii on the
Island of Maui, then you're
probably looking for a cool
place to stay while you're
there. Maui bed and
breakfast spots are a great
choice for you to explore.
There are many ideal
accommodations and dining
opportunities in Maui for
your next vacation. Most of
the Maui bed and breakfast
places are available right
along the beachfront, making
your stay even more
"tropical". The list below
contain some of the most
popular and kickback B&B
resorts that Maui has to
offer:
• Over Yonder
• Maui What a Wonderful
World Bed and Breakfast
• Maui Eva Villa Vacation
and B&B Rentals
• Penny's Place Inn Paradise
• Garden Gate
• Heavenly Hana Inn
• Aloha Cottage
• Hale Ho'okipa Bed and
Breakfast
If this is going to be your
first time in Maui, it is
highly recommended that you
ask your B&B concierge to
help you plan your fun
activities during the day.
It's worth it, and they can
certainly save you a ton of
money. There are lots of
things you may want to
consider doing like:
- Mountain Bike excursion
- Snorkling
- Kayaking with a guide
along the coastline
- Eating at Mama's Fish
House
- and many more (ask your
conceirge)
And when you return from
your trip with your newfound
Hawaiian tan, there will be
no doubt that you had
yourself an enjoyable
experience. |
How did I
come up with that topic? It was simple.
I opened up a travel magazine I had
lying on my coffee table and read this 3
page article. So what I did was
summarize it into 5 paragraphs as you
can see above, and submitted it. Within
a matter of 10 minutes of work, I got
paid $18 for this. Now I know one
article doesn't sound like a lot of
money, but I can crank out about 20 of
these a day.
I came up with another interesting way
to make even more money from this.
Here's how. I hire a few of my retired
friends to write summary articles for me
and pay them $5 - $8 per article they
write for me. Then I submit it to the
companies I'm writing for and they pay
me between $12 and $25 per article. I
pocket the difference and didn't even
have to work. My next goal is to
hire about 5 to 10 more friends to help
me with these articles.
Everyone WINS!
You have to check this program out. I
give it my TWO THUMBS UP!!!!

We no longer
recommend Legit Online Jobs.
After many complaints from our users and
subscribers, and their terrible coaching
program, we can no longer suggest this
as a legitimate opportunity. Their
coaching program is full of arrogant,
cocky 20-something year old kids who
don't care about people. In fact,
I've received numerous complaints that
their coaches have ridiculed my very own
subscribers. Isn't it unfortunate?
Legit Online Jobs isn't legit anymore.
---- TWO THUMBS DOWN!!!! |

Online Data Institute (link removed) |

*** NOTE: Please
note that I have taken the Online Data
Entry Institute review down from this
page because they have been having
trouble with their website. I've
also received word from some of you that
you may not have been getting through to
their customer support. For that I
do apologize, and I do take your
comments very seriously. That is
why I am not currently recommending that
you purchase their program. While
I do not believe they are a scam, I am
waiting to hear back from them before
continuing with this particular
recommendation. Besides, $197.00
for a data entry from home program may
have been a bit steep. Keep
your feedback coming in and also submit
any new programs you'd like me to review. I
appreciate it.
