Where can I find REAL data entry jobs that allow working from home?

Question

I've been looking and looking and all I come across are scams. I worked as a data entry operator for many years and I know that jobs do exist which allow you to work from home.

Answer 1

its very very difficult to make a decent income while doing data entry from home, and you're unlikely to get the names of genuine employers in a public place like this.

I'd recommend doing a search of the previous 'best answers' on yahoo, I got some good information that way.

Probably nowhere.

1. What is a data entry job scam? What can you LOSE?

Answers: Data entry job, data entry job scam? What do these mean? Let's explain:

a) a data entry job is a temporary, part-time, individual and non-supervised job, which is purportedly offered by websites directly, or on behalf of the websites' "clients" [note that we are NOT referring to full-time, office based, fixed schedule data entry jobs where the employee goes to work every working day, thus leaving the home and travelling to work]

b) a data entry job scam is basically a job scam; in other words, a data entry job scam is a form of FRAUD where certain persons (scammers), acting from behind one, two or several websites, attempt to fool good-faith people (people that are looking for work from home opportunities), by falsely promising them data entry jobs, jobs through which they (the victims) can earn money working from home and without any need for travelling to an office location. What's the CATCH? Here it is: generally, in order to get these "amazing" data entry opportunities, the jobseekers (the future victims) need to register online on the scammers' websites and pay one or more registration fee(s) ranging from US$ 9 up to US$ 450, and only after they register they'll get the data entry "projects" started; the only problem is that, once they pay the money, the victims will never get the money back even if the website has BIG banners saying "30 days money return guaranteed!"; the even bigger problem is that since they paid online (on the website) for the registration, the scammers also got the credit card details - which they can use in other illegal activities.

OR, scammers might very well ask you to pay for so called "training materials" - needless to say that once you pay them you'll get nothing but a useless sheet of paper.

Note: If you are asked to pay any money upfront = step back, it's a scam. Don't pay anything to anyone. Don't be a victim!

A data entry job scam can also take the form of various job ads displayed on one, two or more online job boards, job ads that invite ("welcome" in the scammers' own words) job applications; generally, these job ads contain extremely limited information, an email address, a cell phone number, and in most cases they also contain a notice regarding the salary which can be "excellent", "sky-rocketing", "amazing", and can range from US$ 100 a week up to US$ 2,000 a week. Beware! Don't swallow the bait! Well, what's the CATCH? Here it is: once you reply with your job application or a phone call, the scammers will try to get your personal data (which is basically no less than identity theft - and this can cause you a lot of problems), or your financial information (saying they need it for job processing and so forth), or money (via check, wire or cash); the scammers can also invote you to register on one of their "amazing" websites, which obviously is full of "opportunities".

Note: always be on alert if you see job ads that provide very little information and do not reply to all the job ads you see or get; we know some of you might we too desperate getting a job, but we strongly advise you to be cautious and alert. Generally speaking, try NOT to provide your name, full address, SSN, credit card info, or other financial info via telephone conversations or via internet.

What can you LOSE? Many things: first (and most important), as soon as you reply to a bogus job ads (data entry related or not), ads posted on dubious job boards, you will lose your identity (that is, the scammers will get your personal data and use it for fraudulent purposes - forged passports, forged driving licences, credit card applications, and so on); second, as soon as you register on data entry websites, you lose the money you paid for registration; third, as soon as the scammers have your credit card details, not only you might lose a lot of money, but you can also get into more complex financial problems.

WARNING: VERY, VERY FEW DATA ENTRY JOB OPPORTUNITIES ARE REAL! UNLESS YOU ARE 101% SURE, YOU SHOULD TREAT MOST DATA ENTRY OPPORTUNITIES AS SCAMS!

Answer 4

If you are an accomplished typist - word processor and have recently visited your local city college or university librarian, you can apply as a "certified" graduate typist, earning between $1.50 to $2.00 per page for a master or doctoral thesis. The librarian will provide you with a sample of the typing template (i.e., margin settings, font selection, page set up, etc.) in order to complete these projects. An average weekend income is about $300-$400 for two days work.

Good luck!

Answer 6

The work from home jobs that aren't scams actually require work on your part - and if you're in need of money soon then you're likely to be sorely disappointed in any of those as well. Most of the legit opportunities out there take time to build - so if someone makes an outrageous claim of income it probably isn't true ( and those that are true sure didn't make that kind of money when they first began ).

Time & effort required - but do your own research on what is best for you, don't take the advice of myself and others as gospel from this type of forum.

I have other ideas that may help - one of them is an online opportunity but another is one that will require a little effort to market yourself - try some data entry for local businesses, many of them don't have the time to do it in-house and will gladly pay someone else to do it. Professionals are a good place to start, lawyers, doctors, chiropractors, etc - they need their "in-house" folks doing other things rather than busy work.

Answer 7

I know just what you mean. I have been doing the same thing you have for the past few weeks, and all I have come across are scams. Do not buy into the sites that ask for money, they should be paying you, not vice versa. Also, sites claiming that the money is for training are scams as well, since all legitimate jobs pay YOU for training. One site that I have done well on but does take some work is http://www.getafreelancer.com/affiliates... Service buyers provide legitimate jobs for people like you (the service provider) and although business is slow at first (as in any job) it gets easier and easier to find work. No registration fee or any of that nonsense. Hope this helps.

Answer 9

Look for job boards and webmaster community for real job opportunities.

Indeed.com is really doing well. You can get real job vacancies from multiple job websites/ boards.

Webmasters need constant data entry workers for their ongoing/upcoming projects. You can get in touch with them through webmaster forums and apply for data entry jobs.
