For the last fifteen days I am with mylot, I have seen lot of discussions about modes of earning on internet. Prominent among these must be earnings by paid to click the web sites or paid to read the e mails which are basically the same. One prominent way of earning on the internet is by data entry jobs, judging by at least what the advertisers say, "you can earn $200 or more per day working just 2 to 3 hours a day", exaggerations apart has anybody in the mylot ever did this job?

That is too much too earn for a simple task. Data entry just requires an internet connection and your time. 2-3 hours per day would not be enough for you to earn an amount as big as that. This job has an average of $1- $3 depending upon the difficulty of the job and the data you need to encode as well. Most of the time it requires data to be written in an excel spreadsheet from websites to tabulate information gathered.
Data entry professionals are paid higher than those who lack experience. But everybody starts from scratch right? All you need to do is allocate time properly especially when you only consider this as a part time job.

Those are scams. In order to join them, we even have to give them money, which is ridiculous! I've seen a lot of these sites before and I have explored. To see that they have a lot of loopholes that may have caught unknowing people off guard makes me angry.

I remember, several years ago, I was about to sign-up in one popular data entry job. I got interested because I know how to do the job, and the person recommending it is a well-known person and I have been following him for years to copy his online success. But I was disappointed to learn that in order to continue my registration and start working with the "online data entry company", I have to pay money, something like an entry fee in network marketing?! That put me off! My first impression of data entry is, it's like a job.. an online job, and not an online business. For online business, I am willing to invest money, because it's a business! But for online job, never. Can you imagine, you are applying for a job, and just to be hired and start working, you have to pay your prospective employer? How in this world an applicant for a job online is paying the prospective employers? They (the employers) should be the one paying us (the employees)!

As far as i am concern i been working online quite for a long time now.All i learn is that in the firts place do not pay in order for you to work but rather they will be the one who will pay you inorder to work.And i hate most of the sites that tells data entry eran $500 dollar just work 2 to hrs. a day but at the end you will just discover that they are just scam. I hope that someday all these scammers sites will be banned and punish by the government coz right now it is kinda hard to tell which is the real deal all are the same hype. I was so frustrating that for a long time i am looking for a work at home online wherein i can work at the comfort of my own home and spend time with my family. But is was so hard to find a real deal. You will just ended up broken hearted. And just do not know all these scammer they are heartless and will just gonna take advantage of all people who are trying to earn a decent money. As of now i am still looking for a data entry work at home that do not ask money from me in order to start working. I sure do hope that i can find one. GODBLESS
