No doubt you can picture yourself just putting numbers in columns for a few hours a day from the comfort of your own home and making enough money by doing it to make up your financial short fall, right? No…sorry….that isn’t really very likely to happen.
I’m not telling you that there are NO data entry jobs available. I am only telling you that you aren’t likely to get one of them by answering one of those slick ads that promise you a data entry job if you will but sign up for their course.
The problem with these so-called data entry courses, is that they rarely have anything to do with data entry jobs. Most of them are more on the order of teaching you (more or less) how to set up and run your own affiliate program.
There isn’t anything wrong with affiliate programs but they aren’t data entry jobs. They are businesses in which you will do some data entry work….like on tax forms when you file your self-employment tax returns. There can also be data entry work in the operation of an affiliate marketing business. You will need to enter data in order to maintain orderliness in your business.
If you let this tiger get you, after you pay you money you will get a course that will either be delivered electronically via the computer, on CD’s or DVD’s. This course will teach how to find affiliate programs that you can sign up for (information that is readily available for free on the Internet). Then you will be instructed how to set up advertisements in Google Ad Words (this information is also readily available on the Internet). What you will not be told is that affiliate marketing is an extremely competitive business. It isn’t a data entry job. You will be told that these ads that you have to se up in Google Ad words will only cost you one penny each. Now there is a big fat, out-and-out, rotten lie.
You might set up ads that will only cost you one penny each time someone clicks on them….that much is true. Your ads will be listed on about page 15 in search results and you aren’t very likely to have them clicked on. But if, by some stroke of luck, they are clicked on, they cost well more than one penny per click.
Fact: Data entry courses are a scam. They will not secure a data entry job for you.
