Data input jobs.

Has anyone ever done these?

I would like to do one but there is a one time fee you have to pay initially for training etc.

Here's two I've seen:

http://www.freewebs.com/data-input-at-home/

Are things like these scams?

Thanks.

crappy hotmail addresses and you get paid through paypal? Erm i'd say scam.

Bes · 9 Jul 2007 at 16:57

I can just see them paying you then claming it all back via Paypal's fraudulent transaction system

'Small fee' - These things never work so no.

Phone up your local temping agencies and ask them. If you want to work from home Im not aware of any regular way to get that kind of job.
Ive seen amazon advertise positions where you could do that but you had to attend a meeting every 2 weeks. Other option is to be self employed then you get to whatever you want

I havent looked at the ads particularly but its almost certainly a scam, the fee itself is the only money involved. You will be proccesing other applicants like yourself

OCR will input data faster then you can in most cases

A Freewebs site and a Hotmail address, always the sign of a reputable company.

Second one sounds more viable. you just need a reason for people to bother visiting your website then

all i can say, spend about 2 months learning about blogging. takes a couple months to take off, but when it does it does

I take about £60 a week at the moment from my blog of 3 months, i spend a fair amount of time writing/promoting it but its building week on week.

cant post url here as i will probably get banned, no its not porn before anyone says lol

perhaps he has a real job but wants some extra money.

Data entry jobs from home. Would be ideal for many people. There has to be some legit ones out there.

Surfer · 9 Jul 2007 at 19:58

my flatm8 was looking for stuff like this. He gave me a couple of links (i forgets them though) ill speak to him later on and post them if they are legit.

I think its a good idea in theory. I mean why not take advantage of technology to save and earn money?

and by the time you factor in travelling time to two jobs, a possible shower and change of clothes, it's not a sensible option on a long term basis for most people.

just wondering how you make money from blogs ?

adverts only ?

how many viewers do you need to start making money etc ?

anyway , the second one in OP , if its a scam just do a paypal chargeback on them

The only legitimate work from home companies I've ever come across are two text answering services. 82ASK - www.82ask.com and AQA - http://www.aqa.issuebits.com/.
