Online Data Entry Work From Home......Do They Really Exist?

Discussion in 'General Business' started by dreamzunlimited, Sep 8, 2009.

    " I have been scammed ", the common answer given by a number of people who have already paid to get an online data entry work.

    Once, I tried the same kind of thing called ' Typist job from home ', but what I got was just all bullshit. They asked me to run a Google Adsense Campaign and to advertise their product. I had to prepare the ad by myself. To this thing only they gave the name ' typing job '.

    So, it was a bitter experience for me.
    Now, my question is that whether one should pay or not for any ' online work from home ' kind of job?

    You are always welcome to share your expert views.

    Thanks

    If you have to pay, sign up, or do anything then its not legit.

    Only legit ones send you work, you do it, you get paid.

    You should not paid to get work.
    Coz it shouldn't work this way.
    If you really looking for online job,then i do advise you to stay away from paid to get job kind of offer.
    Instead,you should go to freelance site to get project coz it more legit.

    I have seen online surveys that claim to pay you. Though I have to admit, I havn't heard of anyone getting paid.

    Cheers

    One golden thumb rule is

    You can paid for work and not the otherwise.
    Never pay a cent if someone asks you and claims to provide you work online.

    And if you get paid, these type of jobs are legit in any sense.
    It is not always scam, if you do not understand the work profile forehand.

    Just look at it this way: if you were to go to Wal Mart (or any other real job anywhere in the world) and apply for a job, do you think they would ask you to pay, for anything, before your first day of training?

    While there are a lot of scams that say they will pay you to work from home, there are some legitimate sites out there. They are hard to find because the scammers outnumber them and are better at promoting themselves.
    I have been working from home for years now so I started a blog about it! (In my sig) I have been finding and researching real work from home jobs that are not scams. Most are US based but a few can be done from anywhere.

    Like others have said, if you have to make a upfront payment it's not a job.

    They exist, but sad to say, they are far and between. You need to be extra vigilant when considering a work from home job. Most of them are just there to rip you off.

    Any type of online job where you have to pay money up front is usually a scam.

    You should try other forms of earning money online since the number of scams greatly outnumber the legit online data entry jobs.

    The only ones that exist are probably the ones listed on freelance or something. The 'data entry' jobs are just a paid informational listing of the ones where companies are hiring for freelance workers. If you really want to make money do some associated content stuff. That will make you $100 a day if done right...

    I do think that if your going ot pay something then surely this data entry job is most probably not legit. I have known a lot of people get scammed by this one so it is much better to be a freelancer in legit site rather than do data entry job which your not sure of

    Most aren't legit. However, freelance writing tend to be legitimate.
