I'm a very fast typist and any jobs I can get ahold of for a little extra money would be nice. If you know of any online typist jobs that might actually exist that would be great. I doubt there really is any good ones, and if they are they're probably filled to the brim with applicants.

There is a site that has legit jobs. It's called odesk. I have a banner on my page. They have all kinds of online based legit jobs. You actually have to take some tests and fill out a resume' and "apply" for the jobs. check it out - it may interest you.

What's the general pay for jobs on odesk?

it varies.. a lot of the jobs you have to bid on. so sometimes people willing to do it cheaply get hired. although you know -sometimes they get what they pay for. If they are looking for quality the providers probably do go through your qualifications to make sure they are hiring someone tat can do the job. They do have other jobs that are fixed rate. from small jobs at $5 to paying a few hundred dollars- depending how much work they need done.

Hello there, Like you I am also very desperate looking for a legitimate site accepting data entry typist but unfortunately I never find a free site, my searches brought me to different sites which asked for a corresponding amount before you can access the names of companies. I was already fooled by this site quickpaidsurvey.com which promised to have a thousand income in just few months (by answering surveys or becoming a data entry typist with bunch of assurance, but after I paid 25 dollars I think, I never heard anything from them except that I can access list of companies which I think never existed. Well I was only a beginner surfer that time and now I really learned my lesson in a harder way and never never again submit to this kind of online promotion. So just be careful never bite any sweet promotions you read in the net try to investigate first it that site really pays and look for a site which offers a free sign-up so if ever it is a come you lose nothing, right?God bless and Good luck

Well there are other types of scams/schemes where if you don't pay anything, they get ya' in some TOS clause that you accepted upon joining allowing them to sell your personal information. Email/address/etc., so be careful HOW much personal information you fill out. I do know plenty of legitimate opprotunities online if you're interested(away from data entryish stuff.) but you won't really make anywhere near a full-time income, at least. Not at the beginning and probably not in the first few months. If you want some help feel free to send me a PM :)

Good copywriters can make more than 5000 dollars for just one salespage. So learn everything about hypnotic writing and making salesletters. If you don't get picked to create a salespage you can as well just go writing for associated content, it pays a lot, even more if you're from the US. For a writer it is important to know seo skills though, no seo skills is no readers is no money.

Aha, thanks for the info. I'm already a part of AssociatedContent.. haven't really gotten started with that as I haven't really been too inspired to write. Lucky for me i'm extremly knowledgeable in SEO which almost..I might as well just write my own articles outside of AC, unless I just want some super quick cash.. however, residual is oh so much sweeter(and yes, I know you can get residual on AC but you can get a lot better residual if you do things on your own.)
