Data Entry Exposed: 5 Things You Need To Know

The Truth About Data Entry

If you've ever thought about looking into data entry for an extra source of income, you are like me and this article is for you. I'm going to explain what I discovered about data entry and hopefully convince you to never set foot in the web of lies that is data entry.

Data entry, typing, transcription and all the rest of that garbage are absolutely proposterous. Websites are created by lowlive's targeting mum's who want to be home with their children, people who aren't able to get real jobs because of disabilities and the general public who want to start a career online.

Ok so how do we recognise and stay away from these scams? Here are a few things to watch out for.

1. This may seem obvious but it's a good one, if it sounds too good to be true, then it is! I've seen websites promising me $500/day for copy and pasting into a text box. If if was really as easy as this why isn't everyone on the planet doing it?

2. Secondly, if the website has some sort of limited deal that is "only for customer's who buy today" then it's most likely going to be a scam. Check back in with the site the next day and they will have the exact same thing up there.

3. If the site asks you to pay a fee, then it's a scam. True data entry jobs pay you! You should never pay one of those sites to gain access to "the easiest program ever" or some other empty promise.

4. Another thing that typical data entry sites do is have lots of exciting words and that play on the desires of the customer. They will have pictures of luxury cars, beaches, mansions and other things to make you want their offer enough to pay their fee. Real data entry jobs are never like this, they are very professional and if anything, a little bit boring, just like the true job itself.

5. The final thing I'm going to tell you I hope you already know. If they are saying you hardly have to do anything to make money, it's a lie. People are always searching for some easy, quick fix to their cash problems, but nothing in life is solved that way. It is definitely possibly to start making money online and I'd do as far as to say it becomes easy once you learn it, but it takes work.

I hope this article has turned on a few lightbulbs, I know I would've loved someone to tell me all this when I was contemplating getting into data entry. Luckily I found my way to internet marketing and am finally working from home sitting on my my butt.

If your still interested in making money online I'd suggest looking into internet marketing. Don't get scared off by it, anyone can learn and anyone can make alot of money if they apply themselves. Have a look at my site if you want to see what it's all about. Thanks for reading and I hope you continue to have a great day!

Make Money Online

So you want to make money online? I know this is a big topic and there are alot of people running around in a maniacal frenzy trying to find ways to make money online. So I thought I'd talk a little about what I've learnt and try and shed some light on two popular methods, data entry and internet marketing.


Data Entry:


Wow, is all I can say about this, data entry is the biggest load of crap I have ever encountered in my life. Literally thousands of people are being scammed everyday by these websites claiming to give instant riches.. for a fee. If you were thinking about getting into data entry to see what it's like, DON'T!

They will take your money and give you a program that is not only much harder than they say it is, it's pretty much impossible to make money with. The only data entry companies that aren't scams offer you a job. This isn't what you want when you are aiming to work for yourself at home. These positions are all full anyway and require previous experience and/or training.


Internet Marketing:


I admit data entry was the first place I looked to start making money online, but I wasn't led down the horribly frustrating, expensive and depressing tunnel of death that is data entry. I instead discovered Internet Marketing (IM). Alot of you might have heard about it and thought like I did that "it's for people who know what they're doing", wow was I wrong. Internet marketing can be done by anyone. Yes, even if your as dense as me and are as knowledgeable of the internet as a tree to flying (nice analogy..). So lets run as fast as we can from data entry and have a look at internet marketing!

I'll give you a basic rundown of what Internet Marketing is, what the average Internet Marketer does and how it makes money.

Internet Marketing is basically promoting products. Now don't let that scare you if you don't have your own product, neither do I and nether do most people who do this. That's because businesses place their products on affiliate websites which can then be promoted and sold by affiliates to earn a commission. One of the largest affiliate sites is called Clickbank (www.clickbank.com). Take a look there and you can see how it all works.


So far what we know:
We promote products and earn a commission to make money online. How do we get the commission for a sale and how do we promote something?



How do we get a commision?


Well an affiliate is given a special link from the affiliate website, such as clickbank, this is what you use to make money online. When ever a internet surfer clicks on this link and buys a product from the website, you get a commission which goes straight into your paypal account or sent to you buy cheque. How much? It depends on the company, but it can be up to 75%, which is a huge amount considering how many people are willing to buy. There are people making over $50,000+ a month. These are the pro's, although it is possible for anyone to do this with time. Most people are making a couple of thousand a month or more, but it depends how much work your willing to put into it.


How do we promote something?


You might be thinking, well that's all well and good but I know nothing about selling products, who would trust me? Well that's what I thought until I found Wealthy Affiliate University. This is an amazing place. It takes you by the hand and uncovers everything and I mean everything you need to make money online.
