I recieved an e-mail asking me to review dataentrymadeeasy. Data Entry Made Easy (www.dataentrymadeeasy.com) was one of my first programs, of course back then it went by a different name (mydataentrybusiness). I joined because the website advertised as follows:"Would you like to earn an extra $200 every day?, Tens of thousands of companies have realized that by outsourcing their Data Entry positions, they will save millions in costs associated with employees." Which of course makes it sound like a legimate job where you are an employee.
Well in the beginning I had no idea what research was or how to see if what they were claiming was true, so I spent the money to buy the program, I mean the price will be going up soon I have to buy it now (the price is still the same as it was two years ago, it is never going up).
Here are the claims of the sites and then the truth. Do not buy this product without know the truth:
1. Select a company from the online catalog - The online catalog that they are referring too, is clickbank or paydotcom. It is not their information, its not their database.
2. Login to your account to access the data forms - You have to create a Google Adwords or a Yahoo Overture account, which means you have to pay to advertise in order to make a profit.
3. Copy and Paste the data from our members area - They do not tell you what products to select or even give you the data to enter into the forms, you have to figure that out on your own. It would be nice if they explained how to select the product and how well it sells.
4. Submit the form5. Thats It! You will be paid by check or direct deposit - Clickbank or paydotcom will send you a check, but you have to meet their requirements first. 5 purchases with one MasterCard and at least one Visa and anyone that buys a product you selling using PayPal you don't get credit for.
5.Our members are making substantial incomes working just 30 minutes - 1 hour a day! - OK have been using the program for almost three years and I have spend $600 in advertising and I have made about $450 and finally met the requirements to be able to cash out, but I learned another secret, they keep a portion of your earnings so if someone returns a product they can deduct it from your account.
Don't believe the claims, you will not able to retire using this program.

Thank you so much for your information.Because of your experience with them i am now able to
take my decision.
I would like to ask you if you know
any other site that could make me
earn money easly while working from home. Thanks alot
Well, I am another victim of this hoax recently. I purchased the product for USD49.95. The site asks you your name, address, email id, and for the payment refers to you a payment gate for debit/credit card payment . In fact, it has now all the details necessary for fleecing your card account!
What do you get in return? The site takes you through pages and pages of get rich schemes and steps how to do it with more examples of how to get rich.
Normally a cautious person, I got taken in only because it mentioned that once I become a member, I can choose the Companies with which I can work with . That seemed a fair proposal since I had heard that there are many on-line data entry jobs going.
AFter having paid, I was told that I will get an userid and password in my email. Well, I got that. The moment I saw the email userid and password, I kenw that I had been had.
The userid and password were ridiculous and so simple - anyone can guess it. There is nothing unique in this userid and pwd. It was therefore clear that every member using this site HAS THE SAME USERID AND PWD. And there is nothing USER SPECIFIC which is provided thereafter.
Once you log in, the site takes through pages and pages of various quick money schemes and finally asks you to register with another site - paydot.com.
This site - I have yet to research. However, here again, the form to be filled up takes your complete personal details.
Thereafter, the explanation given is confusing and vague. I wish I had seen this and other blogs before jumping in with my payment.
The moral of the story : THERE IS NO WAY TO MAKE MONEY THROUGH THE PRESENT CROWD OF ON-LINE DATA ENTRY JOB SITES - ALL OF THEM APPEAR FRAUDULENT. WE HAVE TO TAKE UP WITH ALL THE MAJOR SITES TO STOP SUCH FRAUDULENT LINKS IN THEIR SITES.
FOR THE PRESENTT, I PREFER TO REMAIN UNANOYMOUS. What I have however said above is 100% truth and I am genuinely interested that others do not get taken in

Good luck.
I wrote a long comment, too long for a single comment box, so I've divided it up into 3 comments.

I did sign up with Data Entry Made Easy, however, I never actually got around to trying it out, but I went through the tutorials and deduced what is going on. It seems quite a good system to me, but I have not the experience to relate. You will see from how I give the proper description of this way of earning money, that it involves risk.
They give access to the PayDotCom and ClickBank systems of becoming what is best described as an independent (self-employed) advertising agent. You choose which companies to advertise for - by google adwords or any other relevant way you find.
Better than 'self-employed' is the term 'freelance' - as for one thing it can kind of be leisure time if you see it that way - there are no set hours or conditions of employment, there is no employment, everything is up to you. They offer a menu for you to work out yourself how to earn income. There are no guarantees as to income.
One thing to note is that income from this method, although it is not really employment - as there is no employer etc. - it also can be employment if it turns out to become that. If, after a while, it has a beating heart, breathes, says ribbit, is green, and jumps - what becomes to look like a frog is exactly that, a frog. So you can be assumed self-employed if this is your work, just as a joiner who works for himself is (you don't need to have a company). Another thing to note is that, whether this becomes something which can be called employment or not, you need to supply your national tax number when you sign up, of whatever company you live in or are a citizen of. This means that your income is registered with your tax number (and I supposed is taxed in your country, I didnt get that far - it may be up to you to provide details to your tax authority when returns are of a certain amount). The benefit of this is that you should count for social security credits, in addition to your income (or if this is your only income), for income you are taxed for, going to your state pension credits.
Someone above said that nothing is personalised for you - it is the same data for everyone. This is not true. Each person signing up gets unique identity information and then proceeds to sign up with Clickbank and Paydotcom with unique and private identity information, and their own specific pages.
With Clickbank then one gets a personal link I.D. This is kind of like your own reference which you attatch to your adverts, so that after any person buys as a result of your advert, the selling company is automatically sent details with your unique reference and you get the advertising credit revenue as an independent Clickbank agent.
Independent advertising agent is exactly what you are.
However, this is not the only thing offerred by Data Entry Made Easy. There are lists and lists of many companies, well known companies, who simply register for the independent agents to advertise for them.
It is UP TO YOU to choose. You can choose by virtue of for example, companies you like, companies who are ethical and so on. However, this is most important, that way of going about things is likely not to be relevant at the start and when included, to be subsidiary to your activities if you want to earn an income you are pleased with.

This is because you ought to go straight to the top of the lists. You ought to look for the advertising companies with the highest income per advert (and you are required to pay upfront for adverts - it really is like operating your own little advertising business, and then you get the revenue in terms of actual sales made from your efforts). It's still a risk, it is supposed, and it can be that your returns also are 5 parts to the 4 you have paid upfront in advert costs, and so your return is little for perhaps a reasonable amount of work.
There are forums to gain help and advice from other users.
This is all made very clear by Data Entry Made Easy. They do tell you that that is where the money is to be made, and when I signed up with them they explicity said they don't recommend foraging within the lists for companies that sell your favourite fluffy toys for example, at least when you are starting and have no experience in your new business. ... If you want to be happy with returns - income. And it is a risk as you pay for your own advertising as you go along. (BE VERY CLEAR - you HAVE to LIMIT your Google, Overture etc. adwords accounts to the maximum sum you have decided to spend each time - as otherwise people may go on clicking and you may owe Google and Overture etc. lots, lots, lots (you know maybe thousands of dollars) more money while you still don't know about your returns or been paid from Clickbank yet. Start very slowly - do not calculate you will earn for at least the first few weeks as you get used to how the adwords accounts work and how adwords happen and see the returns. It will take a while to figure out the "productive" amount of money you have to spend on advertising - for example, you might get no returns for spending 10 dollars a week, as you need to be reaching a lot of people, but not too many so that your adwords bills get ahead of your income. It can be risky but you need to slowly get yourself into a position to see what kind of returns you are getting and what is likely. It may be that that is the best you are going to get - and that doubling the amount of money in what you pay for adwords only yeilds a small increase in returns, so you end up with returns just over half what you had been, as you paid more (it could even be a loss).
As an independent advertising agent, you are not starting a company, you are not working as a business. You are not required to. It is fully legal, and quite popular. And you are not working in employment for a company. Clickbank merely operate to list the agents and list the companies, to allow both to get together through the choice of the agents, and to allow a system to operate if you pay them their small fee, and to allow you to collect your revenue from them. As there are no working conditions - no minimum hours - nothing you have to work - you can work 5 days now, then nothing for 6 months, a few hours then, and months later start working every day. It's fully up to you, so it is not employment in this sense, as you do not have any employer at all. Not only is there no description or terms of employment, there is nothing agreed to do with anyone. Though your contract in basic contract law means you are due the ability to operate this way during the time you have paid your small fee. It really is small - about 50 dollars or 34 pounds for a whole year. You have to pay again if you are continuing working, after that year.

As I said above, there are other things offerred - but this is minority. It includes companies who list as actually looking for real data entry at home workers - typists, working through The Web computer network. There aren't many, and the requirements are quite high. 60 or 65 words per minute means exactly that. But it is stricter than if you work for a temping agency, as this is how they count the work - and there isn't the time for going to pick up papers, chats with staff about how its going and advice and so on. I think it is really hard - especially if you are not used to working at home - you have to make that figure every 2 hours 15 minutes for example and then take a break. You just can't have distractions in your home. You can't answer the phone for example. You can't have children or anyone else interrupting you. It's not likely you could catch any T.V. in the background at the same time as most people would drop their speed substantially. In case you don't know 60 - 65 words per minute really is professional temp standard, and is beyond most people who think they have come by fast typing through regular computer use. Anyway, check if there are companies who accept 45 words per minute, but the pay is notably less.
Once again, I didn't try out operating in any way as Data Entry Made Easy allow you for gaining income. So I just don't know if the returns are as good as the reports. I have no reason, if you select the most advert converting companies each time, to think that returns are not as good as reported. This is one way of earning income which does not claim the really high amounts which many ways of apparently earning income claim. The adwords way does not appear to be hard work at all, but it does involve risk as an independent advertising agent who pays for his or her own adverts created and published himself or herself, to gain any revenue from them (where the advertising costs themselves can never be returned).
Another thing to say is that I don't know about this, but I guess this system may be a bit like those Web companies who say you can earn money, hundreds of dollars a week, by answering surveys online.
You know, you can earn 500 dollars a week and more that way. Wait for it - after 6 to 10 months of 3 hours a day, 4 days a week getting experience and calculating how exactly you do that, earning nearly nothing for quite a while. And the answer is it's a changing system - or rather the interplay of a number of systems. E.g. You go for the big survey payers when you can and you build up a rost of other, similar things and what they pay you in order to make an amount of oney you have decided per week. Some companies actually pay 50 times more than others, but they are more rare, you may need to get invited, you can't choose when to have these surveys over others, or you have to do other things in order to get the survey offers.
So by year two, with your experience, wit and adaptability, it is a pleasure to come by 500 dollars per week, with only 2 to 3 hours work per day centering around the 'survey' field. But that's a whole year later, after a good deal of work and nearly no income.
I'm not suggesting that Data Entry Made Easy is something you have to build up to, only to earn 800 dollars a week after 10 months. But that it may be something you learn to adapt in to gain your weekly target of say 800 dollars in changing how you get it appropriately - moving between companies, doing parts of this kind of work you prefer not to but which are surer money earners, when your usual advert returns drop for a while. That kind of thing.
Some lucky people just got the right information and earn 200 dollars per week, 90 minutes a day, 3 days a week from surveys alone. But they're rare. Most who earn substantial amounts online, in many fields, adapt and evolve often for their incomes.
I don't know if this is appropriate for Data Entry Made Easy. It may not be - but many of these companies who sell themselves with figures and examples of people earning these (including real bank statements) aren't lying. However, they are giving examples of people who, yes it is true earn a nice amount for, yes, a short time's input. So the claims the companies make are not fictitious. However the examples of earners they give are likely to be the savvy ones, the ones who know they have a target to make and it requires adaptability to get there.
Again that might or might not be true for Data Entry Made Easy. But with a lot of the valid online revenue companies - I would take that as a usual benchmark of what you ought to do if you really want to earn the sums it is reported are available from not much work. Don't expect it at the start but do expect to learn as much as you can and see every way a system can be manipulated (maybe you're meant to do that) for your weekly target.
Online earning is not a 'comfy couch talk' job context with a job description and guarantees - it's the opposite - a big jungle in which there are usual assumptions that you're supposed to do it all yourself - somehow get yourself into the position of good money for few hours.
