Plunk, plunk our fingers go, while Fido naps at our feet and Queen sings “We are the Champions” in our headset.

Indeed, we are champions, finally! Getting paid BIG BUCKS to have this data entry job from home. The ads were right: I’m making $500 a day just plunking away part time at my computer whenever I feel like it. I’m going to be rich, and all I need is fingers! Oh, I love this kind of job. No human contact. No stress. No actual work. (Plunking isn’t really work.) No experience necessary. It’s true I’m not even that great of a typist, but I can email my friends, can’t I, that’s good enough, and afterall, I’m earning huge, huge paychecks! Yep, I’m a champion all right. Why do people go to college and do other dumb things like that when they can make almost $250,000 a year plunking away in a just a few minutes every day doing data entry?

Hellooo. Please join us back in reality. This job doesn’t exist!

Yes, there are real data entry jobs. Trillions of names and addresses and other piece of information are typed, entered and stored in computers every year.

But that doesn’t mean that just because you can type a text message or an email you’re qualified to make $500 a day with a “data entry job”.

Do yourself a favor. Finish reading this article and then promise yourself that you will never believe those ridiculous ads again.

Data entry jobs are also sometimes also promoted as “Typing Jobs” or “Email Processor” jobs and all of them are nothing more than modern versions of the old envelope stuffing scam.

Real data entry jobs do exist.

Usually, real data entry jobs require someone to pass a typing test and/or they may require that someone has previous experience. They are also usually locally-based jobs because no employer in their right mind is going to ship valuable, irreplaceable source data across country to a total stranger to enter the data when they have far more typists than they need right in their local area. And, since the work requires only modest skills and education the pay is also equally modest.

Real data entry jobs are FREE!
They won’t cost you a cent.

So just say no to fake data entry jobs, unless they're free.
