Ask for references from people who have data entry experience if you know friends or family members who share the common interest. You never pay to work. This should be the principle rule when searching for that perfect data entry job.
Research legitimate work-at-home data entry companies. It's always best to check for complaints with the Better Business Bureau. There will typically be a complaint listed if it is a scam. You will also want to do a search with the words "scam" following the name of the company. This will help to bring to light any Websites with complaints or questions of legitimacy.
Gain support through work-at-home message boards. Many of these message boards list legitimate companies as "stickies" on their Websites. Stickies are permanent posts on message boards that usually hold valuable information for new members. Members will also assist if you cannot find information on a questionable company. You can find these links in our Resources section.
