To say that all online typing and data entry jobs are a myth and all are scams is a gross exaggerations! To avoid scams, make sure u don't pay to get work, it will keep your time and your money away from scams. That's the first lesson and the most important lesson you should always keep that in mind while hunting for data entry jobs. There were a few legit data entry jobs which pays $1 or more per 1000 keystrokes, like axiom but they don't hire anymore, Quicktate pays about $5 per hr, but after applying i never heard from them, people working for them say it takes weeks and even months to hear back from them if u meet their qualifying criteria.
and then there is keyforcash and they are still hiring, but u have to go through a test and get about 95% percentile and up to work for them, i was lucky so many people wait for weeks and months to get in, some never got opportunity even after scoring 98% percentile but i got welcome mail, within 2 days that also with 82% percentile lol. Pay is not much any more, from $1 per 1000 keystrokes when it first started, its now down to $.30 cents per 1000 keystrokes, for US and $.10 cents to $.15 cents for non US. so i make an average of about $1 to $1.50 per hour and i make an average of about $6 to $12 per day depending on the hours i work. and they pay with paypal every week if account is more the $10. I think i can survive with that in India. Meanwhile in US its call working for peanuts and they complain if they don't get minimum wage ie more then $6 per hour. well about the poor souls in 3rd world countries typing away to glory typing captchas the whole day and earning a few dollars, they say how people work for peanuts and they will say how can people survive with that. lol Unlike captchas keyforcash is a whole lot differest and elite way of Data Entry. The fact that i got in with 82% percentile when others require atleast 98% percentile maybe due to the minimum wage syndrome with the americans, there are lots of work these days and most old Amercians members are not willing to work for peanuts and keyforcash do not advertise. that how i might have got the welcome Mail! and i am happy with $10 per day average from all my source ie ...$10X30 = $300 @50 = INR 15,000. :)

ur right about all you wrote about keyforstrokes though i think their demand is too high, i was 24th and took test after a year or so now and im 79th and i got one better site where i earn 1.25 per 1000 entries too, so no need to qualify for that one :)

To work online to earn money is just like being busy for nothing. Some legit site pays pathetic. Actually we are scamming our kids, our crop fields, our trees.
