Consider seeking this type of work in your area from local small businesses and doing it from home. There are sooooo many scams on the internet with regard to data entry jobs at home. Some red flags; Requirements include you paying a fee for information, you paying a few to interview, you paying a fee to receive work. You shouldn`t have to pay a fee to get a job in my opinion. Consider looking at local web design firms or ecommerce businesses. There may be some demand for those who can work on database spreadsheets from home for these types of businesses.  Good luck!

The vast majority of home-based typing income ads are pure scams.  If you are going to go online seeking those needing typing, they are likely to be looking for the lower cost options online.  Which means they are hoping to pay less than the U.S. minimum wage.

Since distance isn`t important, they can have it done in India, Indonesia, or other off-shore locations for a fraction of what would be reasonable in the U.S.

Virtual Assistant work is more likely to pay an acceptable income, but also require greater skills more likely at the executive assistant level.  The first job is closer to the "typing term papers" for lazy students type work.

Don`t be surprised to learn that the Indian typing services employ workers whose written English skills may be above average for U.S. high school graduates and even some college graduates as spelling and typing skills have slipped with many becoming dependent on Spellcheck or just not caring as demonstrated by online posts on so many forums and blogs.

The previous poster gave you good info - Most are just trying to make a buck by charging for information that is worth little or nothing and won`t lead to anything approaching minimum wage if real work is involved.

The less skills or hours required, the more likely it is a scam.
