In order of your questions: "will this work for me?" - I don't see why not. Bear in mind that the pay is frequently awful because no special skills are needed. "Anyone doing this and got success?" - I don't do it but I see plenty of work available so it must be being done by someone! "Please recommend me the sites regarding this without investment" - check the Big Four bidding sites (Elance, Guru, oDesk, Freelancer). Don't work direct with anyone until you're sure they're reliable - always go through a site for the first job or two. "My husband is saying that in data entry jobs they will deduct some money in every small mistake" - that depends on the client and the terms of the work contract. I suspect there will be penalties in most cases because they're hiring you to be fast and accurate. Hope it helps!

It's legit meenad20 but you must have skill to bid a job in there.

They're the bidding sites. The sites themselves are absolutely legit... however, their purpose is to be a forum for job postings, so there's no guarantee the employers who USE the site are legit. I've used them in the past and have been scammed by one employer - or rather, he disappeared. He didn't get the work (and since I do writing work I can use the content he wanted elsewhere), so I think it was just a weird situation. The site had nothing to do with it - it was the employer. All the other times I've used them, I've had no trouble at all. I've picked up 3 regular clients, earned thousands of dollars and even found contractors for my own work (like the lady who's editing my book and the lady designing the cover). Keep your eyes open to avoid the bad employers/jobs and they're a superb place to pick up work. The advantage of using the bidding sites is that they (usually) require the employer to put your payment in escrow. In other words, the employer pays the site and, once the job is done, the funds are released to you - this gives more confidence that the employer actually has the money and will pay. Of course, like any job, there's always a risk. Bid on jobs from employers with an employment history on the site (i.e. it's not their first time). Use the site's payment functions. Make sure you don't get caught out with things like "free samples" of work and the other typical scams. There's a few posts on my blog about the bidding sites with things like tips for success, a list of the common scams (and how they work, so you can avoid them) and so on.

HI Anusha. Good that you raised the point here, because you can expect most judicious answers here only... Accuracy is highly important in Data Entry jobs.. That is highly true! You need to have good typing speed with 97% of accuracy... But, here is a note of caution... Do not pay any company any money before you join.. No registration fees etc... Any company which asks for upfront fees, are fraud.. Don't fall prey and lose your money.. Take care..

I have came across many experience regarding online data entry. I have betrayed many times. My money gone, my hard work had gone. They can try to cheat us. Do not believe the data entry. These all are fake. I am the open example for that. Try to convert your thoughts in another ways, but not in online data entry jobs.

qlink group is one kind of online data entry, that site is very legit but in this site you will work not directly for qlink, but you will work for people, like referral system. i don't know how if you want to work directly, because most of data entry site force the member to pay first before join.
