Legit Online Jobs - Part 4 - Data Entry Researcher

Now here's a legit online job I had no idea was even listed on the My Data Team web site until last week, and it really came as a surprise to me.  I should say I didn't understand what Data Entry Researcher meant until I started looking through the training and now I realize I've done this kind of job many times before.  You can seriously earn a good amount of money here for doing very little work that is also fun and easy.  The reason I can say that this is absolutely a legit online job is because I have a lot of experience doing this stuff.  I bet many of you reading this have made good money doing it too.  But I've always made money completing these jobs in a personal setting, with a group of people.  I didn't realize until going through some of the My Data Team training, that there are hundreds of legitimate companies out there that will pay you to do this work online too.  What am I talking about?  Well, focus groups and surveys of course!  I guess My Data Team thought it sounded more professional to label this job as Data Entry Researcher.  But seriously, I have made at least $2000 (probably more) in the past few years partaking in focus groups (not surveys though - I guess that means I'm experienced in only half of this program then).

I haven't gone through the entire Data Entry Researcher training yet, but now that I know what it is, I'm super excited to dive into it and start doing some of these jobs ASAP.  I can already tell that this is similar to Traditional Data Entry (where I've made all my money from My Data Team so far); you can read about how I've made money from Traditional Data Entry here.  The reason I say these two are similar is because with both of them, you can start making money as soon as you complete a specific job.  This is different than Global Data Entry and Blogging (which I will discuss in an upcoming entry), because with those two, you need to be patient and do consistent work before you see money coming in.  As soon as I learn more about the Data Entry Researcher position in the My Data Team training, I'm going to update this page, so check back often if you want to learn more.  In the bullet points below, I'm going to list what My Data Team explains you will be doing as a Data Entry Researcher as well as how much money you can expect to earn.

But before I get to the bullet points, I'm going to tell you why participating in focus groups is really fun, and give you some specific jobs I've done.  I just realized we're three paragraphs into this already and I haven't even explained to you what a focus group is.  It's really simple.  Big companies out there have millions of dollars to spend, and ALOT of that money is spent on market research, which means, they want to know what kinds of people buy their products.  For instance, Toyota might want to know what Males between the ages of 18 and 30 think about a series of commercials they are thinking of airing on television.  Or Tempur-pedic beds may want to understand people's opinions on different mattresses they're thinking of releasing to the public.  Red Bull Energy Drink may want to know people's opinions on a new image they're thinking of putting on their cans.  Bottom line is, companies WILL pay you just to share your opinions, because without us, the people who buy their products, they wouldn't exist.  All three of the examples I gave were actual focus groups I was part of; they were all fun, and they all paid really good money.  The focus groups I have participated in have paid about $100 to $200 for you to sit with a group of people and share your opinions on specific products for one to two hours.  That's not bad at all.  Okay, read on below to understand more about how My Data Team offers this as one of their many legit online jobs.

Job Title - Data Entry Researcher

Job Description - Verbatim from My Data Team's web site - "You can participate in studies, by means of online surveys, focus groups, and study panels.  Giving an opinion is second nature to us. Many times a day we offer up our thoughts and feelings on the goods we use and receive. We use a new product and we evaluate its effectiveness. We see a film and discuss its merits. We try a different brand of coffee and form an opinion on the taste. Opinions make up the bulk of our discourse and comprise the majority of our thoughts.  Because of how natural our opinions are to us, it's hard to imagine that there are people willing to pay us money just to hear what we think! To understand why our opinions are such valuable commodities and why companies are willing to pay big bucks to hear what people have to say, it's important to understand a little bit about market research, what it is, and how it works."

To sum this up, you will be participating in either focus groups or surveys online for LEGITIMATE COMPANIES.  I want to stress that these are legitimate companies because I'm sure many of you have received emails or pop-ups that claim they will pay you to complete surveys, but many of those are scams that want your credit card information and who knows what else.  A legitimate company will NEVER ask you to pay them a penny.  THEY will pay YOU for your opinions.  

How Much Money You Can Make - Verbatim from My Data Team's web site - "The average time you might spend participating in these research studies, then typing your research data could be between 15 to 20 minutes on average. The average earning is $300 a week. If you spend a lot of time each day doing these studies when they are available, you can earn $500 or more per week fairly easily."

Some companies will pay you via PayPal and others via check, and many companies let you choose how you'd like to be paid.  I've been paid either cash, or check, but remember that I've always completed focus groups in person, so they've always paid me at the end of each session I attended.  

So that's it for part 4 of this legit online jobs blog series.  A job as a Data Entry Researcher is fun and easy.  Plus, it doesn't take much time and companies pay you really good money for your opinions.  I've made great money doing this (and I still do it regularly at various Chicago locations when they have work available).  As I said, I'm going to update this blog as I dive into the My Data Team training for Data Entry Researcher.  Once again, if you choose to sign up with My Data Team directly through this web site, I will be happy to offer free phone support to help answer any questions you have.  Even if you don't choose to sign up with them or are on the fence about it, shoot me an email or leave a comment, and I'll get back to you, usually within a day (unless I get eaten by carnivorous walking fish that are roaming the streets of Chicago).  Oh man, my humor is warped.  Stay tuned for 'Legit Online Jobs 5' coming in the next few days.  

Legit Online Jobs You Can Do Anywhere

You know, before I post a blog entry for the next legit online job I will talk about, which is Data Entry Researcher, I just wanted to quickly mention that all the jobs listed on the My Data Team web site, can be done ANYWHERE you have a computer or tablet with an Internet connection. In fact, some jobs don't even require Internet. For instance, right now I'm hanging out at my parents' beach house in Michigan. I got hired to complete another data entry transcription job two days ago. Unfortunately, this beach house has no Internet until summer, but I just headed down the street to a hotel with my laptop where I could pick up an Internet connection. I downloaded the file I needed to transcribe and came back to the beach house to complete it. Then I just walked back down to the hotel this morning to email the final transcription to the company. Obviously, you won't have to head over to a hotel if you already have Internet wherever you're at; the point is, these are all legit online jobs that My Data Team provides you with, and as long as you have an Internet connection, you can do them anywhere. I guess that's a given, but I just felt inclined to write this post since I'm just hanging with my puppy by the beach, and still getting work done. It's a nice feeling. Anyway, next blog entry will be 'Legit Online Job #4 - Data Entry Researcher'. Look out for it soon.

Hanging at my parents' beach house completing a Traditional Data Entry job

Legit Online Jobs – Part 3 – Traditional Data Entry

So here we are - #3 in a series of 10 blog posts about the many legitonline jobs that My Data Team offers.  This job is whereI have the most experience: this blog entry will teach you about Traditional Data Entry and what you can expect to do in this job;  you’ll also learn how much money you canrealistically make doing this. Traditional Data Entry happens to be where I’ve made ALL of my money sofar, which, as of today, is approximately $540. As I’ve told you, My Data Team offers 10 legit online jobs; of all of them though, I absolutelypromise you CAN make money from this one. How can I promise that?  Well, I’mjust a regular guy who has always assumed that work from home web sites are scams, but I’ve made my money as a direct result of signing up with My Data Team and doing this specific Traditional Data Entry job after going through the training.  It’s been less than a month that I started,and I’ve also been taking things slowly because I balance my band and school work with this money making journey. So, let’s dive in.    

• Job Title – Data Entry Transcription

• Job Description - Data Entry Transcription is a job where you listen toaudio or video of focus groups or interviews, and type everything out, word forword.  It’s really as simple asthat.  There are lots of companies outthere who are looking to hire reliable transcriptionists.  That’s your title in this job by theway.  You’re a transcriptionist.  Most companies will send you a digital file,like an mp3, wma, wav, etc…  You thenopen the file in the software that My Data Team provides you with for free.  You listen to thefile carefully, while typing out everything that’s being said in Microsoft Wordor some other similar Word program.  Thetraining for this is SO extensive, it turns you into a pro at transcribing, andit even tells you exactly what to put in each bullet point of your resume sothat you quickly get hired by some of the companies they have listed on thesite.  I seriously got hired within a day of sending out my resume. Ittrains you on how to become fast at typing, if you aren’t already.  The training also gives you specific sampleprojects to complete so that you’re prepared when someone DOES hire you.  It’s laid back work that you can do anywherein your house as long as you have a set of headphones (well, I guess you coulduse speakers too, but trust me – it will be easier to do this job wearing headphones).  Again, this is, without a doubt, a very legit online job listed on My Data Team’s website.  I’ve made all my money so far from this job alone.  There is MUCH more information listed on their page, so if this intrigues you at all, make sure to head on over to the My Data Team web site and read more.

• How Much Money You Can Make – According to My Data Team’s website, if you can type 40 to 60 words per minute, you can earn as much as $30 to $40 per hour.  If you aren’t experienced as a transcriber (which, this would be your status after the training), meaning you can type between 30 to 50 words per minute, you can expect to make about $12 to $25 per hour.

*I want to mention my own experience and how I’ve personally earned my money doing this.  I’ve been hired to do various jobs and what I’ve noticed is that these companies pay you according to how long an audio file is and what exactly you’re transcribing (focus group, interview,etc…).  For instance, I transcribed a focus group, which is more difficult than transcribing an interview.  So, with the focus group job, the company paid me $90 per hour of audio.  That breaks down to $1.50 per minute of audio. The focus group was 132 minutes & 29 seconds long; the rate I was paid was $1.50 per minute of audio, so this means I was paid a total of $198.44 to transcribe this focus group which was a little over two hours long.  Other jobs will pay $75 per hour of audio you transcribe and others may pay you $60 per audio.  It all depends on which company hires you, the quality of sound, and exactly what you are transcribing.

My first check I received a few weeks ago doing this job.  More money
is coming in now too.  I've made a total of $520 so far.

I could go into so much more detail regarding Traditional Data Entry, but I don’t want to turn this blog entry into a book.  Bottom line is Traditional Data Entry is a legit online job, and you can get hired directly through the My Data Team web site.  If you choose to sign up with them directly through my blog here, I will provide you with free email and phone support to help you out in any way I can.  As always, leave a comment if you have any questions and I’ll do my best to answer them. Next legit online job is Data Entry Researcher.  Look for that blog entry to be posted withinthe next few days.  

Legit Online Jobs - Part 2 - Traditional Clerical Data Entry

So today I'd like to discuss the second job listed on the My Data Team web site - Traditional Clerical Data Entry.  As I mentioned before, these are all legit online jobs and you CAN make good money if you put the effort into going through the tutorials and following their step by step instructions.  This post is not going to be as detailed as my other blog entries because I haven't had a chance to dive into this particular job yet.  In my last post, I mentioned that it's extremely important you only focus on ONE job a time, meaning go through ONE training listed on the My Data Team site, and complete that job exactly how the training tells you to by following its step by step instructions.  Do not move on to another job until you've done that; otherwise you will get lost and become overwhelmed.  Trust me on this.  The My Data Team web site is just loaded with SO much information, your head will explode if you even attempt to focus on two separate jobs at once.  Anyway, this is why I won't get too detailed with Traditional Clerical Data Entry job description.  I haven't gone through the training yet because it didn't interest me as much as the Global Data Entry and Blogging jobs did.  I'm going to paste some information below anyway, directly from the site that I think will be most useful for you in case you are interested in this job. 

• Job Title - Traditional Clerical Data Entry

• Job Description - Here I've pasted information verbatim from the My Data Team web site - "Data entry is 'the process of entering data into a computerized database or spreadsheet. Data entry can be performed by an individual typing at a keyboard or by a machine entering data electronically.'  That is the official definition according to Webopedia. It is a simple process of entering words and graphics in particular formats using special software.  It comes down to this: if you can type, you can do data entry as we will show you in this training." I want to mention something here before I forget - My Data Team provides you with all and any software you may need to complete any of the jobs listed on their site, so don't ever expect to have to pay any money for that.     

• How Much Money You Can Make -  According to the site, you can make anywhere between $32,000 and $38,000 per year, depending on your skills and how much effort you put into it. 

Sorry that this blog entry isn't incredibly detailed, but as I said, I'm not experienced with this Traditional Clerical Data Entry job and I don't want get into so much detail since I may not be the best person to talk to about it.  I will add more information to this post and update it when I learn more about it, which will be soon.  Again, all are legit online jobs listed on the My Data Team web site.  The next post will be where I explain where I am personally making money right now from the site.  Again, feel free to email me or leave a comment with any questions you have and I'd be happy to help you out.   

Legit Online Jobs - Part 1 - Global Data Entry

I'd like to tell you about 10 legit online jobs that you can do from home.  I will briefly explain each one in 10 separate blog entries; my goal is to provide you with a general idea of what each job entails, and how much money you can realistically make with each one.  I've only learned of these jobs recently because I signed up with My Data Team a little less than a month, where I am making real money right now.  To date, I've earned approximately $479 from just one of these jobs as a direct result of signing up with them (I say 'approximately' because I haven't submitted my most recent invoices, so I'm just doing the math in my head).  I know people can make much more money than this, but I'm a newbie here and still learning.  The web site says that some people earn $300 - $1000 per day.  I have NOT made anything close to that yet, and I have no idea if that's seriously possible, but based on the trainings I've gone through, it doesn't seem unrealistic either, as long as you put in the work.  Signing up with My Data Team has been a major learning experience for me so far.  They provide you with very detailed examples of legit online jobs you can start doing right away.  Once you sign up, the trainings are SO incredibly detailed; they provide video trainings AND written trainings that go along with the videos.  There is just no way you can get confused or lost, even if you don't know how to use a computer or the internet.  By the way, if you sign up with them, and you have any questions at all, just email me and I'll help you out.  I've spent plenty of time learning from several of the trainings on the site and I'd love to help you out if you have questions.

Okay, so My Data Team has 10 different legit online jobs offered on their site.  Each one of the jobs makes you money in different ways.  Some jobs pay you weekly while others pay biweekly.  Some pay monthly.  Some pay by paycheck and others by PayPal or direct deposit.  It all depends on the job you are doing, but you'll know exactly how you're going to be paid before you start working any particular job.  My Data Team very strongly suggests that you go through one training at a time.  Pick ONE job and go through that entire training alone.  I completely understand why they tell you this.  The web site can be very overwhelming if you jump around from training to training; plus, if you do that, I guarantee you won't make as much money as you could make by just staying focused on one job at a time.  Take the time to learn each one, then move on to another.  So, here is job #1 on their site called Global Data Entry.  In my next blog entry, I will go into detail and explain job #2 they offer, which is Traditional Clerical Data Entry.

• Job - Global Data Entry 

• Description - apparently, this is the most popular of all the jobs on the My Data Team website, mainly because it's the easiest to do, and it makes you a lot of money if you dedicate yourself to it.  I went through this training, which teaches you, step by step, exactly how to start making money immediately by posting specific web links to different places on the internet; the training provides you with EVERYTHING you could possibly need to complete all steps and start making money right away.  According to the site, you should follow all the steps in the training once a day for a full month to start seeing money really come in.  To sum it up, what you do is choose a company you find interesting and would like to promote.  You choose them through Clickbank.  In case you don't know what Clickbank is, don't fret.  The My Data Team training explains exactly how to quickly set up an account with them.  They are responsible for paying you for your work and I believe they are the biggest affiliate network in the world, but don't quote me on that.  Anyway, that's really irrelevant right now.  Once you have your unique link from Clickbank, you follow the very specific steps from the training on exactly where to paste it on the Internet.  My Data Team makes sure to provide you with areas on the Internet with the highest traffic to place your links, meaning, when people click on your link and purchase the product you've selected, Clickbank registers that, and you ultimately start earning a lot of money from clicks.  If you are consistent and promote a different link each day following My Data Team's exact steps, you will see results (it doesn't take much time to do either).  They give you a step by step tutorial and you complete each step while you watch the tutorial videos so you start earning money while completing the training itself.  

• How Much Money You Can Make - The site says that you can earn up to $500 per day.  I know that sounds crazy, but once you go through the trainings, and understand specifically where all the money comes from, it makes much more sense and doesn't seem so unrealistic.  I've seen some testimonials of people who did this, and they said they made a few thousand dollars per month, but those people also put much less effort into the program.  A few thousand bucks a month is still really good money, but it's all up to you.  It really depends on how much work you're willing to do.  Each company pays different percentages too; it all depends on who you choose, what their rates are, how popular the company is, how much competition it has, etc.  Again, My Data Team explains ALL of this in great detail too.  You'll see that this job is a system that just works, like a well oiled machine.  Maybe you don't care about this stuff, but for those of you who are skeptical and need math or science to somehow prove the validity of certain things in this world, this program will put your doubts to rest.   

So that's it for Legit Online Jobs - Part 1 guys.  This has been my recap of the Global Data Entry job from My Data Team.  Hopefully I did a decent job explaining this to you.  Again, if you have any questions, please email me or leave a comment on the page and I'll get back to you ASAP.  Next entry will explain Traditional Clerical Data Entry.

Legit Work From Home Company - My Data Team

It's no fun when you Google "legit work from home jobs" and you find web site after web site telling you where to find reputable companies that will pay you to work from home.  Personally, it makes my head spin how many companies claim to be legit work from home businesses; you visit their sites, and it all just looks like a huge advertisement, which in my opinion, is just a turn off.  It all looks too good to be true; you could start making $10,000 per day within the next hour if you just sign up with the company.  Then, of course, they ask you to take out your credit card and pay them money to get started working from home  And from that point on, your hopes slowly dwindle down to nothing, because you realize that whatever it is you purchased from this so called legit work from home company is not even close to what they claimed it to be.  You try to get your money back with their "30 day money back guarantee", but for some reason, you're having trouble getting a hold of customer service reps via email, and there is no phone number listed on their web site.

So, as much as that situation really sucks, I'm here to tell you that there is at least ONE company out there that I can absolutely say for certain is legit (at least up until now it has been).  They're called My Data Team.  I want to make something very clear right now while this blog is still new.  The majority of the posts here in My Work From Home Journal will be me sharing what I have learned and earned from My Data Team, because at the moment, they're the only legit work from home company that I've found that has paid me real money; so I'm sticking with them.  If I discover other legit work from home companies, then I'm sure this blog will expand, but until then, this blog will be focused on My Data Team.  So, how did I find them?  That's a good question; I can't remember exactly, but I'm sure I Googled 'legit work from home jobs' or something like that.  I do remember I found some testimonials of My Data Team on various web sites from different people who signed up with them and said they had good experiences with the company.  Still though, I don't trust anyone when it comes to this kind of stuff, because as you probably know, the work from home world is very shady; but I at least was intrigued enough to continue learning more about the company.  When I visited the My Data Team web site, I will say that it was INCREDIBLY refreshing to see that they DIDN'T have all these flashy colors and banners and claims that would make me shut down the Internet.  

My first check from working with My Data Team.  I crossed out information 
I don't feel the whole world needs to know.  :-)  Also, this check did not 
come directly from My Data Team; they don't pay you directly - they just 
show you the jobs you can do.  I'll explain more soon.

In fact, it's the very straightforward manner in which the My Data Team web site is presented that kept me there, and eventually convinced me to sign up with them.  I couldn't help but have respect for that alone.  Once you sign up with them, their tutorials are OUT OF THIS WORLD.  I'm not even kidding.  I've learned so much from their tutorials, I feel like I've discovered a world of making money that I didn't even know existed.  Above is an image of the first check I received just last week, as a direct result of signing up with My Data Team.  Now that I'm learning the ropes on different ways to make money, I expect to be making MUCH more money soon, but as a start, I'd say $359.25 isn't bad.  I just want to leave today's entry by saying this company is NOT a get rich quick kind of thing.  You DO have to work, but it's fun and laid back work.  I will write another blog tonight or tomorrow and get into detail with all this stuff.

Is It Possible to Really Work Online From Home And Make Money?

Well, the answer is yes.  This is my first blog entry and I'd like to welcome you here.  My name is Paul.  The reason I created this blog is because I've recently had success making money from home through a web site I discovered called My Data Team, and to be honest, I was seriously skeptical until the very moment a check actually arrived in the mail.  Even while holding the check in my hand, I started thinking to myself that it might be fake.  I actually took it to a bank teller at Chase to make sure it was real; usually I just deposit checks directly into my phone.  So, anyway, whenever I see a "work online from home" web site advertised anywhere on the internet, it just comes off as cheap or dishonest; I guess that's just the reputation these types of companies have.  In fact, I read somewhere that only 1 out of 30 work online from home web sites are legit.  The fact that I even took a risk to sign up with My Data Team, and the fact that I am making real money right now still is kind of surprising me.

So, I'm sure you'd like to know how much money I've made so far.  I haven't made a lot - just a few hundred bucks, but I only started this journey a few weeks ago.  I'll post a pic of my first check in an upcoming entry.  My goal with this blog is to get into detail discussing legit work online from home jobs, what they entail, and what you can expect from them.  I'm still new at all this, but what I've discovered is that real money can be made.  I'll explain in detail what I did to get my first check; and yes, all I did was put in some hours to work online from home.  Sometimes I actually did it in between classes too, but, you get the idea...I did the work in my free time, when I felt like it.  And in my opinion, that's better than being sucked into the robotic lifestyle that comes with working for a big corporation.
