Real Data Entry Jobs On The Internet?

With the US economy sagging and the subprime mortgage loan crisis, more and more frustrated wage earners are looking for ways to bolster their family incomes, stave off possible foreclosure on their house or worse, bankruptcy. Many are turning to the internet in hopes of making a supplemental income. Unfortunately many have found that the internet has its own pitfalls. Many are skeptical about the internet’s ability to aid them in increasing their incomes.

I will be the first to say that the difficulties faced by most of us who turn to the internet to earn extra money are legion. The internet is without a doubt a scam infested environment. If you venture into the internet world you truly have to adhere to the old adage of “buyer beware.” My experience and research over a period of eight years has convinced me that while there are scams, there are also legitimate companies offering real opportunities to earn money.

However, the individual looking to make money on the internet must be able to recast their thinking as to what a “job” is. The traditional corporate job description is not the definition that works for the internet. A 9 to 5 job is not likely to happen if you are looking to make money on the internet. Making money on the internet means working smarter, using tools and learning how the internet works.

Today’s real jobs on using the internet can best be described and compared to corporate jobs as “tele-commuting” jobs. You work at home, you use your computer and you are doing jobs that previous corporate employees were doing before they were let go to cut costs. Internet companies have picked up these outsourced jobs creating money making opportunities for you.

What To Look For

Look for companies on the internet that offer the following:

1. Have a track record of at least 5-years
2. Are certified by a 3rd party as a non scam opportunity e.g. ScamX
3. Have a easily understood web page
4. Admits that it is not a get rich quick opportunity
5. Offers a money back guarantee within a reasonable time, 60- days
6. Does not require monthly fees or purchases after you sign on
7. Has multiple options on the kinds of opportunities they offer

Several companies we have reviewed meet the above criteria. One company we reviewed stands out from the rest. Even they make claims that are somewhat inflated but mostly they are close to what they actually promise. This company markets other companies products. Madison Avenue fortunes were built on the same principle as this company. The company represents over 17,000 companies you can choose to work with, no special skills required but you will have a learning curve to get up to speed. Most importantly they offer an approach that allows you to enter the market without spending more than about fifty dollars. You can market the products without spending any more money. However, once you get started you might want to consider investing a little money to be more efficient with your time and make more money.

The Pros and Cons of Starting a Paid Membership Site to Make Money Online - Part 1

There are many paid membership sites on the Internet. Some of these membership sites provide a service such as mentoring, dating services, etc. Others offer helpful content or information in a specific field. All these membership sites make money the same way: they are charging a fee to anyone who wants to gain access.

Now you may have a question. Why would anyone pay to access a website?

Well, it is just too difficult and time consuming for people to find all the information and resources they need from search engines and resources sites. Paying a fee will grant them access to a membership site and immediately download the content and information they want. Also if a membership site offers some sort of valuable information that cannot be found elsewhere, then people will be more than likely willing to pay for accessing the valuable info.

Moreover, membership sites that provide a service that can solve a problem of a group of people or meet a need of a target group will also attract a lot of people paying for a sign up in order to use the service.

Membership business seems to be a very lucrative online business you can start to make money on the Internet. However it is always best to check out the pros and cons of membership business before getting into it.

The Pros
A successful membership site can bring in a steady and consistent flow of income from time to time. This is the biggest advantage of paid membership websites. It provides a recurring source of revenue month after month.

Other types of online businesses have to keep on selling their products to new customers or looking for new advertisers in order to maintain their sales revenue except membership business where you only need to sell once to your target prospects then they will pay you every month until they cancel their membership. If you can establish a good relationship with your members and service them well, your members will become loyal to you and stay as paid member status for a long time. This will mean a long-term steady and lucrative stream of revenue to you.

And you don’t have to increase your advertising budget in order to increase your income. If you maintain your membership site well with a lot of satisfied members, you will see your membership revenue grow from time to time as new members are getting in from your advertising effort continuously and most of the existing paid members choose to renew their memberships.

In case you haven't read part 1 of this article, please click here.

On the other hand, the cost of maintaining a membership business is minimal, especially those sites selling memberships to people for accessing information based products. Unlike physical products, information based products don’t need storage space; there are no shipping and handling charges your customers have to pay, and it costs you nothing to store such info products.

In addition to that, once the info products have been created, they can be sold again and again and sold to many different members. There is no product manufacturing process involved as info products are generally in digital format. The only thing the membership site owner needs to do focus is market those info products effectively on the Internet.

The Cons
Unfortunately, every business venture that has a number of advantages always has some drawbacks. Internet membership businesses are no exception to this rule; they do have a few disadvantages.

The biggest disadvantage of a paid membership site is that the site owner has to add in good content frequently for the members. When members join a website and pay a fee to get access to the information they interested, they will have the expectation that the information and content they are getting are valuable and even exclusive. It cannot be something that they could find easily by typing in a few words into their favorite search engine.

Writing original, relevant and helpful information pertaining to whatever the theme of your paid membership website can be time consuming and involve a lot work. Audio and video content are even more difficult to create and cost you more money.

You can hire professional freelance writers to write good content for you, but you have to be prepared to pay for their expensive writing service charges.

Content is the key to keep your members wanting to renew their membership. If you don’t invest the time or the money required to keep your content up-to-date and relevant, you will not be able to entice your members to continue paying for membership renewal.

Another drawback of this business is that the message boards, forums and blogs that are associated with a paid membership site have to be monitored closely and updated regularly.

People who pay money to join membership site expect to get what they are paying for. And many of them will even expect to get more than what they are paying for. It is necessary that the owner of a paid membership website schedule chats with experts in the field that is the subject of the website on an on-going basis and that the membership site owner answers the questions of the members on a daily basis.

Conclusion
Membership business is just like other business models. It takes effort, time and patience to achieve success. When you have started your membership business venture, you must be prepared to faced the challenges and overcome the obstacles to get your membership site to top level.
