The truth about online data entry jobs

Legitimate data entry jobs are very difficult to get and hardly provides the earnings they say they do. In most cases data entry jobs entails, typing data into an online form to set up Pay Per Click search engines in an effort to sell items for companies. You would expect that payment would be dependent on what is typed, however, you are usually payed only if the companies product is sold. Additionally, you may have to pay advertising fees which is usually never mentioned when you purchase your start up kit. When you check their sites they are usually tacky, unprofessional and has very vague content. Realistically, you can only make what you have spent, so don't get your hopes up too high. Additionally, do not be snagged by accounts of people making hundreds a week and do not be fooled when they show you the checks they get for their efforts as adobe photoshop is excellent for altering images. In light of all the foregoing, how can I identify a legitimate data entry position? here are ten ways:

1. Legitimate data entry jobs usually do not require any start up payments;
   
2. Most legitimate data entry positions should offer a salary or pay based on the amount of words that are typed.
3. Since you are being employed by companies, they usually will ask to have an interview with you and test your WPM(Words per minute). If data entry programs states that you do not need any experience, then it is a sign that they are scams.
4. Ensure that the websites for these programs looks professional;
5. Do some research. Visit forums and do searches online to determine if the program you are interested in is legitimate;
6. Companies who require someone to do data entry for them rarely sends mass emails. These companies do not spam, so keep clear of those that email you;
7. Avoid data entry positions that offers big money for little work. Generally, data entry positions offers on average between 25K to 40K per year, a far cry from the 2K per week that some data entry "scammers" offer. Think about it, why would a company pay someone more to do data entry from home than the person who has to commute to work everyday and who does more work;
8. If it is extremely difficult to contact the programs customer service to get details of the job then stay away;
9. Job descriptions are usually well detailed when they are being advertised online, so look for programs that have current information and a detailed explanation as to what the data entry program involves; and
   
10. Legitimate data entry programs usually do not pay you to refer anyone to the program.
