I would like to tell you that you can make fabulous money working from home doing data entry. Well, you probably can. IF you are ready to SCAM other people out of there money. The commonest and the most widely advertised method of making easy money from home is doing “Simple Data Entry” or “Simple Form Filling”. This article is written to make sure you get the right idea about this work. ANY website that tells you that you are going to make money by filling out simple forms of 4 or 5 lines is telling you that you will need to post advertisements with various ‘Pay Per Click’ search engines such as the Google Adwords program. Do not be misguided in to believing that you will be doing data entry for some companies and they will pay you according to the number of forms you manage to fill. This is perhaps the commonest impression that people get when reading claims of data entry work on various scam websites. They are just writing an enormously convincing ad copy that makes you want to believe there promises every time. In fact some of them are so good that we want to believe them even after having been scammed the first time.
Why are we calling them frauds? Here is why. They are not telling you what you need to know. What you need to know is what exactly is the work that you will be entailed to do when you pay up and join their program. First, there IS no program. All the websites that read like “Make Money Out Of Typing A Few Lines” , ” Filling Out Simple Forms” or anything along the same lines are not telling you the complete truth. They do not have any data entry jobs for you. When you subscribe and join, you will get information as to how to post ads on various ‘Pay Per Click’ search engines and sell the same ‘program’ to other people. That is how you make you money. Not according to the number of forms you fill out but according to the number of sales you make by posting on various search engines. The ’simple form filling’ that they are talking about is the Ad Form that you will need to fill out to create your ads on these search engines such as Adwords. All the PPC placements require you to pay for each click that you get so that means that you should be able to spend further money to advertise. And advertising for ‘working from home’ and ‘data entry’ keywords is not cheap.
You come across an advertisement stating that a particular company is seeking typists. They offer you an opportunity to make an unlimited amount of income for practically no work. Your experience level is of no importance; all you’re required to do is send in a refundable fee of $20 – $50. The fee covers an introductory package complete with instructions on everything it takes to get started. In most cases, the package you receive will come via email. After downloading the document, you are instructed to take the same ad you just read, copy and paste it in various places and hope that some one else takes the bait. Is this your definition of a scam? It certainly is our. While some will simply chalk it up as a loss, others will continue this ad nauseam until web surfers smarten up and refuse to fall for it.
Beware of any ‘ClickBank’ links. All click bank links mean that the website is the website of a reseller who is reselling a ‘ClickBank’ program that you can anyway sell for free from ClickBank.
Better still, a lot of websites will start with telling what a big scam the whole data entry industry is on the Intenet. They will tell you to beware. And by the end of the page present you with their ‘hand picked’ and ‘genuine’ programs that according to them are the only ones that are actually real and will help you rake in all those thousands of dollars every week. Most of the time you will find these programs to be ClickBank affilaite links. They create their website with a feel of genuinity by posing to talk frankly about the scams that are out there. They try to gain your trust and then proceed to defraud you straight off.
Are they offering a 100% No Questions Asked Refund policy of your money? Please read the fine print. There are no way they are giving you your money back. Read the fine print. They give you a refund if you can provide them with a proof that you have done everything that they have asked you to do in their information and still not succeeded. Now what does this mean? It means that you buy their program thinking it to be data entry work but its not. Therefore, you want to return it for a refund but you cannot because the fine print says you have to actually do what they are telling you to do and provide proof. Honestly and factually, there is no way to do this. Even if you follow their instructions and provide them with details of this they have every right to deny it or deem it as inadequate. Basically, you are not getting your money back.
Remember the bottom line no matter WHAT they say, they are selling you a scam.
A popular method that some websites adopt to make ‘their’ offer look and different from other websites and hence genuine is by making the data entry to be part of some professional field such as transcription, typing notes from Court Of Laws, processing emails for companies or processing any other kind of information in which they promise you a great income for simple typing and clerical work. Run fast! The wordings might be different, the profile of the website slightly different but the promise remains the same, the promise of a scam.
The worst part about these seemingly professional data entry jobs is that they are even worse than the marketing data entry scams that we spoke of earlier. They at least give you a method, bogus as it may be, of selling information, which is nothing but the same pack of lies that you bought, to other people and hope to make money in the same deceitful information. However, these professional data entry websites just send you a pile of useless information and some useless software that will supposedly work this magic for you.
Does this mean that Data Entry jobs do not exist? No it does not. They DO exist. But you have to distinguish between the online data entry marketing scams and the real jobs. It is really quiet simple. The real data entry jobs or word processing jobs as they are also called are regular jobs that do not require you to pay any thing to join. You will find these job openings posted like regular jobs on some specialized jobs and career portals. We will list them for you in this section.
When you sign up to work for these big companies, you either take your computer to them and they put in all the programs you need and teach you how to work them (free), or you download what you need from the internet (free). Then you go to work.
YOU DO NOT PAY THEM ANYTHING.
You are working FOR THEM.
Doing work for THEIR CLIENTS.
THEY WOULD NOT MAKE ANY MONEY WITHOUT YOU.
