Another factor that can contribute to your salary is the level of skill the candidate has. 

Are Data Entry Jobs Genuine?

Data entry jobs are genuine and legit, however, scammers often take advantage of people’s willingness and sometimes desperation to work, to scam them. While there are so many legitimate platforms to get data entry jobs, there are a few tips you can use to identify scammers when you find them. They are:

If you are offered to be paid instantly to begin work, there is a possibility that they may not be genuine.
Requesting that you pay some amount before they can train you for the job is also a red flag to look out for while looking for data entry jobs.
If the pay for little work is way out of the industry range, then it could probably be a scam.
When you’re offered the job on the spot without any form of interview, conversation or assessment, that is a huge red flag. 

To ensure you are not scammed, here are some things you can do:

  • Research the company before accepting an offer from them.
  • Ask for a signed contract between you and the company.
  • Avoid paying for any form of “extra training” no matter how convincing it may sound.
  • Trust your instincts, especially if you feel like something is wrong.
