Data Entry Working from Home?

Filed under: Online Surveys — Tags: , — Cash for Surveys @ 10:24 pm

It’s no big secret that many people desire to work from home. This is especially prevalent in this day and age more than ever before. It could be due to the routine lay-offs at companies across the country or it could be related to the Internet and all it offers. Regardless of why folks want to work from home, there are home employment options available. Even individuals with little to no valid experience can consider data entry working from home. This is one of the more common ways to turn a buck out of your humble abode. The key is knowing where to look for these employment opportunities and remaining adamant until you attain a good one.

If you punch the terms “data entry working from home” into a search engine, you will immediately get hit with numerous websites that discuss employment opportunities from home. While not all of these websites literally offer you data entry jobs or writing positions, many of them do provide useful information about how to attain data entry working from home positions and other home-based jobs. One route that many individuals take involves surveys. Were you aware that you could fill out simple surveys on the web and earn from them. This field mainly has to do with consumer reports to some extent. A variety of companies and businesses want real feedback from real consumers and they’re willing to pay you for it. Naturally this type of work does not typically call for a particular college degree or any special experience. If you can answer honestly and clearly, you’re golden.

Probably the most important aspect of seeking out data entry working from home positions and other home-based jobs concerns separating the frauds from the legitimate offers. Take the initiative and time to clearly read through each website/offer. What is it that they’re asking you to do? How much money will you be paid at the completion of the job? These are important things to consider. On a separate note, no legitimate data entry working from home opportunity should ask you for any upfront fees or money at all. You do not pay to work! You get paid for working. Fortunately there is likely to be a legitimate telecommuting job out there for you. You simply have to find it first.

Realizing that many people would go through the same process as I did, I created Fast Survey Money — the website that you are on now. So if you are interested in making money from home doing data entry work like surveys, join my mailing list. Go ahead and put to work for you, all of the methods that I’ve tried that works.

Mystery Shopper Services

Filed under: Mystery Shopper — Tags: — Cash for Surveys @ 5:06 am

If any name of a job had the potential to sound like a scam, it would be mystery shopper! It sounds as if you should sneak into a store undetected — wearing the traditional trench coat of the CIA — gather your information, and then slink out undetected.

Well, pretty much that’s what you do — sometimes minus the trench coat though.

Mystery shoppers are in high demand. Always have been. Always will be. But, there is no way that you performing these duties will get super rich, super fast off of this job. But it’s a great way to get reimbursed for activities you perform any way — like going out to eat or shopping at your local chain store.

And yes, there really are companies that provide specialize in providing mystery shoppers to various firms.

What kind of services do some businesses supply?

All mystery shopper services provide what’s called an “on-site evaluation.” The mystery shopper is busy evaluating from the moment he pulls into the firm’s parking lot (Is the lot clean? Does it have ample parking?) to the time he pulls out. This includes product placement, cleanliness of the store, availability of products (are the shelves well stocked, or is the firm out of the specific item you want?).

It also includes an evaluation of customer service. Are the employees greeting the customer, are they friendly and helpful?

But today, you can even find mystery shoppers evaluating telephone encounters. How many of us, have sighed and perhaps even hung up when met with a rude telephone operator or an automated system that never seemed to let you talk to a real person?

Experiencing and evaluating the level of quality telephone service can provide a business with valuable insight into the experience of its customers. Even a first impression over the phone can turn a customer off — never to return — or create a loyal follower.

And today — with competition in some areas so fierce — a firm can even hire a mystery shopping service to evaluate its competition! In this way, the firm knows what makes the other guy “tick” so to speak and why it’s so successful. This could be a priceless tool for a firm to get a fair and balanced view of how you stand next to your closest competitor.

There are many legitimate reasons for a firm to hire the services of a mystery shopping company. It’s a great way to evaluate and improve a company’s customer service and appearance!

Harris Poll Online Review

Filed under: Online Surveys — Tags: , , , — Cash for Surveys @ 5:44 am

Harris Poll Surveys (located at harrispollonline.com) is a unique online survey company that is one of the few companies open to minors at who are at least 13 years of age. This is a good opportunity for your internet-addicted teenager to do something at home while listening to music on the internet. It also insures privacy; no personal data will be stored in the “cookies.” It’s a safe site for young and old alike, although only one membership is allowed per household.

The rules for joining Harris Poll Surveys are simple – be honest. Provide your true name, age and e-mail address. This information will be kept private. I joined this company a month ago and have never received any telephone solicitations. Since then, I have participated in two surveys. They were quick and painless. And although I have not yet accumulated any points, my next survey will enable me to receive HiPoints (this is the system the company uses to reward survey participants).

Membership to Harris Polls is free. Unlike some online survey companies, Harris Polls is strictly legitimate. You are required to review the rules for membership, accept them and then fill out a brief information form to join. Your telephone number is not required, nor your address. You simply need to provide your birth date, country of origin (Harris Polls is available to people from all other countries, although you have to be at least 14 years old to join if you are not a US citizen) and your e-mail address. A security question is asked in case you forget your password.

Shortly after joining Harris Polls, you will receive an e-mail confirming your registration. Click on the link and you’re in the system. In approximately two weeks, you will receive an e-mail for your first survey. You are under no obligation to participate in any survey and your account will not be deactivated unless you choose to do so.

Once you have completed your third survey, you are eligible for “Hipoints Rewards.” Participants receive 200 HiPoints after completion of their third survey. They can be turned in right away towards a variety of merchandise or gift cards, or accumulated to earn greater prizes. Unlike some online survey companies, Harris Polls does not pay cash, but does offer gift cards to hundreds of different stores.

The surveys themselves take only 10 minutes to complete and are pretty easy. They never direct you to websites that try to sign you up for long distant service. They maintain your privacy. Harris Polls is one of the oldest consumer polling companies in the world and has a stellar reputation.

I recommend this site for anyone who has teenagers at home. It’s an excellent way for them to learn about different products and ideas, as well as earn points that can be redeemed for “Best Buy” gift cards. As one of the few online companies that accepts members under the age of 18, your teenager might have a little bit of fun accumulating points and earning such prizes.

Best of all, the site is 100 percent safe, even for teenagers. Those who are wary of giving out personal information over the internet have nothing to fear in joining this site. You will never be asked for a credit card or additional personal information.

I highly recommend Harris Polls. I just wish one of my kids would have taken an interest in this site rather than me. But they will probably both benefit from the Best Buy gift cards that I earn for participating in the short surveys.
