There are many ways on the Internet that allow
you to earn money; data entry for example is one common way that many try. As
the name suggests, it involves entering data in forms online. The work is not
particularly glamorous or exciting, but it is easy to learn and easy to do,
and it does pay.
Data entry work can be done from the comfort of your own home, working at
your own pace. Don't expect to earn a large amount of money in this way, but
it is easy to do and undemanding in most ways. This makes it easy for anyone
who can only grab an hour or two here and there, such as a busy housewife or
mother, or even a student who needs some extra cash every month.
There are a number of places where you can find a list of companies offering
to let you earn money. Data Entry companies are many and varied. Two of the
better resources for finding work in this respect are to be found at: http://www.home-jobs-directory.com/
and http://www.my-data-team.com/.
Here you can purchase extensive directories of over several thousand
companies all offering pre-screened data entry jobs. All you have to do is
apply, and once accepted you will have all the work you can handle.
You should be aware that there are a number of scams associated with data
entry jobs. This is not, of course, unique to this sector of online work.
It's just that like so many genuine offers of work from home employment, data
entry has attracted some of the lesser attractive elements of online society.
The lesson here is to be on your guard and check everything out carefully
before accepting work, or paying for access to a directory. Scams are, by
definition, something set up to deceive the unwary. It's a sad fact that
scams for data entry work out rank legitimate data entry work by a factor of around
30 to 1.
Also bear in mind that sometimes work such as data entry is hyped up to sound
a lot better than it actually is. This isn't a scam per se, but it may cause
distress for some. Always do your own full checks before making any final
decisions.
The earn money data entry way involves online activities such as preparing
reports, making transcriptions, filling in databases, editing records,
creating lists, working with correspondence of various kinds, as well as
submitting adverts. The adverts may be submitted to well known major sites
such as Google and Yahoo. In all cases you will be given full instructions on
what to do and how to do it.
Different data entry companies will have different working conditions and
requirements. It is usual for them to expect a typing speed of at least 30 to
50 words per minute. They will also expect a level of accuracy. This will
probably be set to a level of at least 97% or 98%. They usually won't demand
perfection, though they certainly won't object to receiving it.
