Pay to be PAID????

Hi, I have also been trying to find e-data jobs on the net that doesn't require initial cash outlay or at least those that only ask for minimal cash investment but so far I haven't had any luck. The ones that I do manage to scam turns out to be scam. Upon further research, I also found out that even those sites that require a membership fee can also be scams which robs you of your hard-earned money. Legitimate sites that offer e-data/typing jobs often have membership fees but they do offer higher returns. I guess that on the net, the higher the risk the higher the returns. So if you really want to earn good money online then you must be willing to take the associated risks...
