Hey ! I'm new to this field of online business. Could anyone guide me in the data entry business. Is it a legitmate one ?
As proposed by dataentrybusiness dot com, can we earn a good amount with merely data entry. Is it anything to have with google adwords?
Please help me. I'm from India and looking for a data entry home based job.

DON'T DO IT!!! Its a big scam! 99% of all data entry jobs are real jobs people work at real businesses - BUT NOT FROM HOME. Don't throw away your money on this kind of scam!

Yes, I agree with getagrip. 90 % are scams. I have faced once this type of scam.

There are no genuine companies offering data entry work at home in India. In USA, there are a few companies.

Better you try for local data entry jobs by searching the newspaper etc. its most better than comparing to online companies, as because like above said posts most companies get your money as signup fee and does'nt provide much information starting data entry or run away with your money and its pretty hard to find them and get back your money.

It has been mentioned that the program offers a 30 days money back guarantee. Is it worth giving a trial?

How do you know it's a scam unless you try it?

Just because a program is to do with Google Adwords doesn't mean it's a scam. Plenty people make alot of money using adwords, myself included.

It's the way these programs are marketed. People usually aren't aware that this is what is involved.

Has anyone tried "thedataprogram.com"? I found it in the Illinois trader and they offer a 100% back guarantee and they guarantee good income. It cost $26 but you get your money back if not satisfied. Does anyone have any info for me? Thanks!

Most times the money back guarantee is not honored as these companies count on most people just writing it off as a bad experience.The companies just keep you chasing them for your refund until you give up.You are better off starting a home based business with a legitimate company.

Thank you Mike but i am currently doing a home business but I don't have the time or money to do it good. I've invested $900 for the co. and have only made about $200 back. I live in a small town and its hard for me to advertise with my budget.If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them. Thank you!

Well put - just head over to http://ripoffreport.com and type in "data entry" - as of this post there are 94 entries for data entry companies that people felt were a rip off. If you see a company advertising that you can make money "quick and easy" without putting in any effort, you are going to be disappointed.

If you are looking for a real opportunity, I'd suggest checking out Wealthy Affiliate.

Here is my take on things like this. I have been researching this stuff for awhile. I don't think they are necesarily scams but just are very misleading. They act like you just put an add together for a company and the company pays you. I don't think that is how it works but instead you put ads together for a company and then if someone clicks on that add and buys something, you get a commission.

Walmart or whoever is not going to pay someone good money off the internet to put some small ass add up.

Not a scam(at least some) but very misleading in my opinion. Most think it is almost an hourly job whereas they just type some ads and companies send them checks. It is still a commission biz. just like 100% of work at home businesses.

San you are right, I got sucked in by one of these
data entry business's and I would say stay away from them.

You are much better of joining a work from home business.
At least you have all the proper training and support.

To whom it may concern:'
RE: dataentrybusiness.com

I just found some paperwork from 4/17/07 where I joined (pd. $49.95) to join. That website does NOT even exist anymore. What a rip off. I think I didn't make any money because you had to spend more $$ after you joined to get the names of companies you could do work for. 99% of this stuff on the internet is a rip off I believe. Does anybody know of some legit on line ways of making $$ at home (Not Ebay, no selling) that a real person can do?? Please email me at [email protected]. Thanks

Pattya, did you get a response? I too want to do simple data entry at home and I doubt there are any local positions as I live in a small town.

getagrip is right. Most data entry jobs is scams. Real jobs don't charge money for a job, jobs are suppose to pay you not you pay them, but there are real home jobs because I applied for a few before and a friend of mine actually worked for one of those legit companies. I have a few websites written down somewhere that don't charge. I'll see if I can find it for you.
When you put a search in google for a home job or data entry job, ALL you gonna get is a load of crap you don't want, just people trying to suck a quick buck out of you.

Interesting,

What I use as a rule is this. If you have to pay to play, run, don't walk away. All these home based businesses have one common denominator, they all want you to pay to play. If a business wants your money to promote their products or services, think long and hard about falling for it.

No legitimate opportunity will ask you to pay before you earn a dime. I have always felt that the most important ingredient in success is to have people join at no cost or obligation, so I have always looked for only free start ups and by doing this, avoided the thousands of front end loaded deals which ask for a fee or investment before you can earn a dime.

Good luck to all, Mike

All these data entry programs do is teach you how to do affiliate marketing. Some throw in the added bonus of teaching you how to advertise on Google Adwords to get your affiliate products sold. They are not the easy "$100's daily!!" jobs they advertise to be. Plus, all the information you gain from these companies can be found for free online.

The legitimate companies will not charge a penny to work for them. The few I have found are hard to get employed with though. You usually have to be able to type about 70-80 wpm, and have years of experience...and the waiting lists are so long, if you apply you may never hear from them.

OK. I decided to find out what was really true about
these data entry deals.
San is more correct in stating they are misleading.
Basically they sell you information on how to use data entry to make money.
And for $26 they tell you.....Wait for it!!!!!!.......
How to make make money.....its coming!!!!....

Blogging!

The "data" you enter is the posts to your blog. You find a topic you want to talk about and post to your blog. Google Adsense is also introduced and they send you there to sign up. But what they don't tell you is you have to have new and relevant content on your blog to even be approved for Adsense.

Now once you have your blog up and running, Clickbank and
Paydotcom come into play. You go to these two and find products relevant to your topic and advertise them on your blog. If people click through and buy, then you get paid.

There are more things on their website that I haven't got to yet
but I will.

If anyone is truly interested in doing this, contact me and I will
save you the $26 and try to walk you through it.

Don't worry, no affiliate links of mine will be given.

Omg, that's the big secret? Blogging? I blogged for a few months last year and it was a heck of a lot of work for not that much of a ROI. Granted, some blogs are making thousands, but those things take years to get to that level, and things start going downhill very quickly the day you miss a single post. The pressure was unbearable.

Let's just say it wasn't my dream work-at-home job...

Of course, reading all your comments give me a pretty good idea about the data entry companies, offering great amounts and what you need is to pay them money that you will not get back...
Take care all,

Blogs are in terminal decline due to total saturation, they were a good source of revenues last year, but I don't see it for this year.

Good luck to all, Mike

I did some looking and I did find one company that claims it
does do real data entry.
I signed up for it but they claim to not have any open
positions available and put me on a list.
We'll see.

Blogging is a great way to make an online income if done the right way.

It is certainly more profitable than the so called Data Entry jobs.

Yeah, I've heard of people having to wait 1-2yrs to get on with a legitimate company. ALOT of these data entry jobs are scams. Be very wary of these as well as the "stuffing envelopes" scam. Most of these "opportunities" that require upfront money are ripoffs. Except eProspectFinder of course. I've had a lot of luck with them. Give them a shot if you aren't looking to get rich quick.

Agreed. But you have to be careful of these scams as well. I've found some that cost $400-$1000 in software and information, but all of it is useless. After they have your money, it's all on you to get things started. Waste of money and time.
