Data Entry Programs - A Year To Success

So recently I have been reading a lot of bad things about data entry programs. Not to say that they aren't true but some data entry programs can be an easy way to earn money and I am going to prove it.

First let me tell you all a little bit about me. I am a 23 year old college drop out. Before a year ago I didn't have any experience with data entry programs or any online work for that matter. I was working construction and telemarketing, two jobs which I worked like a dog and got treated like garbage. I was killing myself to make my bosses dreams come true instead of mine.

So I was just searching around for the best way to earn money and online jobs that I could do to make extra cash. Thats when I came across data entry programs. So me being the impatient person I am, I went and joined four all at once (I don't recommend this now).

My Results

So I started July 2007 with four different data entry programs.
  • My Data team $49.95
  • Typers Wanted $97.99 *Scammed Me
  • Web Colleagues $49.00
  • 123 Data Entry $34.99 *Scammed Me
    • So this just goes to show that you need to take care when searching for data entry programs because many are scams.
So things didn't start off to well for me. Within four days of working with 123 Data Entry they had disabled the program and shut down the website. Basically took my money and ran. I was still optimistic because I was earning money with the remaining three. By the end of July I had earned $73.16 with the Web Colleagues program, $55.18 with My Data team and $340.00 with Typers Wanted. Now before you get all excited about the income there is another down fall.

The big down fall was pay day. Web Colleagues and My Data Team both payed me as you can see below but Typers Wanted didn't.



I contacted the owner of the program but I got very dumb responses. After months of arguing with Typers Wanted I gave up on them and it didn't really bother me because I was earning money fast with My Data Team and Web Colleagues. Here is my results from July 07 to July 08.
As you can see I wasn't earning crazy money but I was earning money fast. There is about $25000 right there. If you went to your bank and invested $49.00 dollars in anything there is no way you could bring in this kind of return.

What I Did and How Long I Worked

At the beginning I was so excited to earn money on the internet that I was working almost all day. This is not a bad thing but its not necessary. See My Data Team and Web Colleagues both had many options of data entry to work with.
  • Traditional Data Entry
  • Global Data Entry
  • Home Typing
  • Data Researcher
I tried the traditional and the global data entry. I found that traditional took up a lot of time where as the global data entry was generally an easy way to earn money once you get the hang of it. I liked the fact that I could be creative, I didn't have to sign up to Google Adsense and I wasn't forced to spend more money. As I learned how to type effectively I started to earn more. I stopped working crazy hours and just stuck to 1-2 hours a day. In December I didn't do any work and still earned money which is another benefit of the global data entry. The small articles that you post to the net don't disappear right away so they are still able to earn you money.

Anyway that is my story, so if a collage drop out like me can do it then anyone can. Also I put together a page (Data Entry Scams) a while back which has a huge list of data entry, work at home and online survey scams. You will see my results there as well. Feel free to contact me by Email I am more than happy to help you out.
