I heard of Data entry jobs worldwide but I was wondering why do we have to pay for it before we can do the job? I wanted to try it but every data entry site I find charges a registration fee and it's real expensive for my curreny if we convert it. Does anyone know of any data entry site that doesn't requires me to pay for anything at all? Are this data entry which asks for payments first a scam? Please kindly widen my mind on this issue..I am really interested in it.

Yeah I myself am searching for this kind of site that doesn't require registration fee. The fee is so high and I can't afford it. Very tempting though..Thanks for the response..Appreciate it.

I am always SOOooOOo tempted to sign up. But DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT. Honestly, we don't know how safe these things are. And the earnings they show you is the maximum or the most someone has made. It's not guaranteed. Jobs that require you to pay up front isn't exactly comforting. Who knows? They may just run off with it. Why don't you look for data entry jobs at your local offices? I'm sure there are those that can be home-based. Try it.

Yeah I am so tempted like you. I just want to earn something more from what I am earning right now. I have been looking for home based jobs here locally but it's very hard to find one. Thanks for your response..Well appreciated.

I have been searching for such things for years but so far I did not find any site besides MyLot who pays just to type online. Every such site who asks to get payment from you in advance of starting the job is a scam. The main nature of job describes that the employer pays the employee, not the employee paying the employer to start the job. Such sites only show you fake payout proofs and green garden full of roses, in the background they are just scammers earning money the bad way.

That's exactly the reason why I didn't join those data entry jobs, the upfront registration fee. There is really no assurance that one will get assignments !
