Online data entry jobs

Hi there,
Hope everyone is fine. I would like to share my experience about searching for an online job for my friend which will help him earn money from home. First of all i tried searching through google for anything that might be useful.

But for my disappointment nothing was useful to me as every job listed was either for residents of USA, Canada or the UK. I did manage to find some sites that offer online jobs in India. But they all wanted a registration fee to be paid upfront.

One such site which offered an online data entry job was
http://www.365jobs4u.com/india/

It was a nice job site for both offline and online data entry jobs as well as other internet jobs. But as most other sites in India it also asked for a registration fees of Rs. 2000 for beginners and Rs. 3500 for experts in data entry.

Also for any other type of internet jobs they asked for an initial registration fees. Anyone who is interested in paying the sum and work at home can visit the above site for more details.

There are also sites that allow you to make bids for the projects that are available from companies. The problem with this type is that you have to bid against people from other countries whose bidding rates are really low. One such site is
http:\\www.elance.com

The fact of the matter remains that online data entry is very much debatable as the companies involved can do it themselves.
Why would these companies pay money for a job which they themselves can do. So be very careful about paying any huge amount for such jobs

You can try to find your online jobs through google or yahoo by typing online-data-entry jobs and then pressing the search button. Do not forget to include the hyphen symbol. Hope you find your matching online job

I think if you search job on google or yahoo it wont take you to the jobs which you can apply it will search based on keyword and displays results which are having high rank. I believe you should start searching on job search engines like jobmixi.com which searches jobs across all locations and categories based on relevancy and experience.

You wondered why a company would hire people to do online data entry, when they could 'do it themselves'. One reason that comes to me is because it would lower thier overhead. If they are paying someone to do their data entry online from home, then the company does not have to provide office space or computer equiptment for that person as they would if it were a company employee working at the company.
