How genuine is the data entry business on line?
you want to know how genuine they are take a look at this massive scam list. http://www.squidoo.com/typeathomescams I was shocked when I saw that list. They also posted a few programs that were good. It seems like for every 1 legit program there is 100 scams.
Reply:It was my experience when I started to look for a way to work from home that the Data Entry line was all out to be scams.


www.ftc.gov warned about them, so that was enough info for me to avioid them.





I have been working from home for over 4 years and it took me 2 years to find something that was not only legit, honest and ethical .. but also FUN!





I would be happy to share details if you are serious about working from home .. it might give you the options you are looking for ..
Reply:AJR the short and simple is this.... Ask yourself, Have you ever, ever, ever, had to PAY to work for someone? And I'm not talking about putting gas in the tank to get there, or buying a new suit.





No I'm talking about actually going to an interview and having the employer tell you that before you could start working for him that you'd first have to give him $49.95 (non-refundable by the way) for training materials and then pat you on your back and tell you good luck and that the only way you're going to get paid is if you do exactly what he just did?





That's not a job!





And you know when people are desperate to get the money back they paid on this when they start advertising it as such.





IT IS NOT A JOB?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!





Any job I ever had never made me pay to work there and always paid me no matter what, unless I was not there (PHYSICALLY) to work, because Lord knows there were plenty of times when I went to work and did what was probably the equivalent of 2 hours of work and still got paid for 8!





So just accept it for what it is, a business, if you can even call it that, and then decide if that's what you want to do.





And if you're going to be hard headed and try anyway, look for one that only costs you $10 because there are some out there that only charge that much.





Otherwise I say NO!





But that's just me because what might work for you may not work for me.

Reply:If you want to work from your computer at home, you are probably going to have to do it as a business owner, rather than as an employee. There are no online work-at-home "jobs".





When you apply for a job offline, in the bricks and mortar world, do you have to pay anything? Of course not. It should be the same in the online world. If you are asked to pay any money, at best, it is a business opportunity, but more likely it is just a scam.





Be very careful that you don't get scammed.





I do affiliate marketing online. I've been doing it for a year and I'm getting ready to quit my regular job, as I am now making over $10k per month. However, it takes dedicated, persistent work, at least a few thousand of initial working capital, decent organizational skills, and a healthy does of motivation, but you can make a living at it if you stick with it.





But that is a business.





Starting a business requires a lot of work and dedication. You cannot start a business this week and expect to be earning a good profit next week.





Employees tend to have a "job" mindset whereby they worked this week, so they expect to see results this week (i.e. a paycheck this week).





In business, you don't see results like that. Take, for instance, starting a new restaurant. You'll first have to choose a location. The most successful restaurants have their own location, with their own parking lots.





If you wanted to open a restaurant like that, you'd spend a couple of months looking for the right location. Then you'd spend thousands of dollars for an architect to help design the plans with you. Then you'd spend thousands of dollars getting your plans approved by the local authorities.





And then, after all that, you'd be approved to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on hiring a firm to actually build your building. And after that, you'd spend tens of thousands of dollars to install the interior decorations.





And then you'd spend thousands of dollars hiring employees and training them, as well as having them prepare for the grand opening.





And then, after over a year and spending over a half million dollars, you'd be ready to open the doors and start earning your first dollar.





I say this to illustrate my point: businesses take time and money up front to develop. In the longer period of time, this time and money invested up front will pay off.





But businesses take time to develop!





It is not like being an employee where you get instant results, meaning work this week, get paid this week.





Business is not like that.





If you want something easy, with no investment, you could probably make $500 to $1000 per month getting paid by companies to write postings on blogs about their products. That's about the only legitimate way that I know of to earn money online without any investment.





I wish you much business success, if you choose to go that route.
