MODERN DATA ENTRY / AFFILIATE MARKETING
When we say ‘data entry’, it involves getting data from a given source
and placing it in a provided destination. Most of the data entry work
involves simple copy and paste situations. It is important to note that
there may be a process involved before you can get the information that
is to be copied and pasted. Eventually, after pasting, you submit that
information for use in different ways.
In this training, we are going to primarily focus on two main sources
of information or ‘data ’ to be copied (source websites ) and a variety
of areas where we will paste this information (destination websites ).
Note that as you go through this process practically, you will most
likely be earning at the same time. So, take each step carefully with
the seriousness it deserves. As you may also notice, this section will
also introduce you to affiliate marketing. Data entry sometimes coils
up with affiliate marketing to be very effective. No need to worry
though, you won’t go knocking on peoples doors.
Our sources are two websites. You will need to sign up to each of these
two websites. However, for those people living outside USA and Canada,
only one of the two sources may be available to you. No need to worry,
the potential for earning from either is equally high. Please check for
availability of the services of both websites from your country.
So, which are these two websites?
Website 1: Paydotcom
This website allows just about anyone from any country, to sign up and
use their services. Check your country to verify.
To sign up, just click on the link below (or copy it and paste on the
address bar on your browser):
Then fill in your details appropriately.Choose the affiliate option when joining, not the vendor option. Make sure the email and postal address you provide are correct because this is where your money/check will be sent.
Website 2: Clickbank
Then fill in your details appropriately. Choose the affiliate option
when joining, not the vendor option. Make sure the email and postal
address you provide are correct because this is where your money/check
will be sent.
So, go to www.clickbank.com . This website has restrictions to people from certain countries. Since we are not sure whether your country is eligible, let’s carry on with
the sign up process to find out.
So, go to www.clickbank.com. On the page that opens, look for a button
with the writings ‘Become an AFFILIATE. Click Here ’ It is somewhere on
the left hand side of the web page. Seen it? Click on it.
A new page with a title to the effect ‘MAKE MONEY PROMOTING THE WEB’S
BEST DIGITAL PRODUCTS ’ appears. At the bottom of that page, you will
see a link ‘Sign up Now’. Click on it.
The page that appears allows you to enter your personal details. It is
a registration form. On the drop down menu corresponding to “Country ”,
check whether your country is listed. If not listed, sorry, your
country is not supported. Just use the previous website we discussed.
If it is listed, go on and complete the registration.
Make sure that the information you give is true and accurate. Those
details will be used as they send you a check. You don’t want your
check to get lost, do you?
After completing registration, you will be prompted to check your email
for a confirmation code. Check your email and copy the code, then click
on the link provided. A new page appears which allows you to enter that
code and some extra texts -captcha- provided (just to make sure you are human )
and guess what, you are done with the set up!
SEE SOME EIGHT OTHER SOURCES OF PRODUCTS/ DATA FOR
BOTH MODERN DATA ENTRY AND AFFILIATE MARKETING HERE
We are now ready with our source websites. All we need to know is how
to get the data to copy and paste. But before we get to that, I want to
go to the destination websites where we get to paste our data and
submit it. I will start with three destination websites. You will need
to have these opened on new tabs in your browser. Just right click on
each of the following links and open them on new tabs in your browser.
You can also do this by going to 'File' then 'New Tab', then Paste the
links on the blank address bar that appears:
NeedHits
WorldBlaster
List Source
Each of the above will allow you to paste the ‘data’ we will obtain
from our two source websites so that you can get to earn money. The
first website above, Need hits is called a search engine submitter
whereas the other two, i.e. World Blaster and list source are called
directory submitters .
A search engine submitter sends your links to many internet search
engines at the same time, whereas a directory submitter sends the links
to directories on the internet where many other search engines can get
and pick them.
Now, back to the source websites. I will start with paydotcom.
Log in to your paydotcom account using the information you obtained
during sign up. Once logged in, go to “Promote Products” tab. Under it,
choose “From Market Place” tab that is at the top. (There appears two
lines of tabs each with ‘from market place’. Choose the one at the top
above the other)
A search dialog box appears. Just click on “Search”.
A list of websites(products) appears, each with a brief description.
Below each are a few links such as ‘promote’, ‘view sales page’ and so
on. We are only interested with the “promote” button. Click on it if
you are impressed by the product description(how do you know if you are
impressed? Answer, if you feel you would also want to buy that product
by just reading the description!). It will open a page through which
you will scroll down and look for your special link to be able to
promote that product.
The link has your paydotcom username somewhere in it. Highlight this
link and copy it. It is under a subtitle labeled 'Just the Link'. It
has a format that looks like this:
https://paydotcom/r/12345/yourpaydotcomusername/1234567
There you are, you have done the copying. An easy way to copy the link
is, after highlighting the link, press down the Ctrl key on your
computer keyboard followed by letter C, that is, Ctrl+C. This
automatically copies the link.
Now, go to the three websites you have opened, i.e., the destination
websites. Starting with needhits.net, paste the link you have copied.
(A shortcut, Ctrl+V) This automatically pastes your link on the “Enter
URL” space provided.
NOTE : For paydotcom links, delete the‘s’ in the https so that it
remains as http. (UPDATE: Paydotcom has since removed the "s " in the
https :// . Now you can just copy and paste the link as it is. )
Then enter your email address, the same one you used to register for
paydotcom, and click on “Submit URL”. And you are done!
Now go to worldblaster.com and paste the same link on the “website URL”
space. Then fill in your email and the category that best describes
your website. Then hit “Add Link”
Repeat the same with Listsource.com.
It’s that simple. Remember, remove the‘s’ in the https on your link
every time you paste your website link.
That is data entry part of affiliate marketing. You are copying and
pasting. In the process, you get paid. So repeat this process with as
many websites on paydotcom as you can. That increases your earning
potential.
It also has an element of affiliate marketing because you are actually
promoting websites and e books.
The following are some other areas where you can post your link to
increase exposure and hence your earning potential :
1. Safe list Email Services:
These are email services that allow you to write an email and send it
to a large number of people without spamming them. The safelists have
thousands of people who are willing to read your email and so have
agreed to receive it. Below is a list of a few of them:
Herculist
Cash Blaster
Cash4usafelist
Elist hosting
Bestlisthost
E-zsystems
2. Classified sites :
The following are classified ads placement websites where by you can
place a classified advert for free to be seen by thousands of people.
With adverts, you may need to use an email to respond to those
interested. So, as you write your advert, you can leave out your link
but include your email address as you write an eye catching advert.
This way, the reader of your advert will be interested in finding out
more about your product. It is when they contact you via email, which
you provided in your advert, that you respond with an email containing
your link in it.
Here is the list of some no sign up classified sites:
1second
Olx
Theadnet
Superads
Ledbetter.Freepages
Others include:
WebClassifieds
UsFreeAds

You can also market your link through newsletters .
Below are two that produce very good results:

Please note that our aim is to provide you with information on free
services mainly. So, should you find that a site is charging some fee
to advertise in, just ignore it. Keep checking this list of free
classified sites for updates.
If you get stuck somewhere, do not hesitate to drop us an email.
The above process combines both affiliate marketing and data entry.
However, we have pure data entry jobs where you may, for instance, be
required to fill in forms with given data like payrolls, excel
documents, and so on. If this is what you are looking for, click the banner below:
ODesk is one of the best jobs sites I have ever come across. Not only
does it offer data entry jobs but also a variety of other jobs. It
allows you to even set your prices with some jobs and can even enable
you to get a full time online job. It however, requires that you have
your own computer because there is some software that you may need to
download.
oDesk has numerous opportunities to earn but requires that you boost
your profile by taking a variety of tests in it.
Step by step, go to www.oDesk.com. Sign in using your username and
password. If you don't have one, click on "Create Account" tab at the
top left corner of the home page.
It will prompt you to choose what type of account you want. Choose the
middle option of the three outlined (freelance provider).
Then go ahead and fill in the details requested on the page that
follows. After completion, you will be sent an email telling you to
confirm your account. Do so.
Now, sign in to your account and then take the oDesk readiness test.(
Hint: Most questions require the answer 'all the above' or 'none of the
above') The pass mark for this test is 100%.
After this test, take other relevant tests to your area of expertise.
This improves your chances of getting the first job, which is the most
difficult to get.
Don't stop there. Keep taking tests over time and also apply for as
many jobs as your profile can allow.
Remember, oDesk has traditional data entry jobs, article writing jobs,
technical jobs and many other jobs. It's a one in all job center. I
will talk more about hourly jobs vs. fixed price jobs, bidding for
jobs, and payment verification among other details in the following
section.
In oDesk, you will find two types of jobs. Hourly jobs- which pay at
the end of the hour as you work, and fixed price jobs which require
that you bid for jobs and indicate how much you can do the job for.
Fixed price jobs are good because they don't tie you to the computer.
You work your own free time so long as you can complete the job by the
agreed time. They however, require that you wait for approval by the
job giver and also an interview. You have to set your own price, which
is not guaranteed to be paid by oDesk. Therefore, these jobs require
that you ask for an upfront payment before you even start the job. You
place a percentage of the upfront pay you want. For example, if you
charge $10 for some job, you can ask for 50% upfront. That is $5,
before you even start the job. This ensures that you don't loose
entirely even if the job giver backs down after sometime and refuses to
pay.
Hourly jobs are guaranteed to pay you by oDesk. You however, need to
install some special software to your computer called oDesk share.
These enable the person giving you the job to see if you are actually
working on his job in real time. They can be able to see your computer
from wherever they are to see if you are actually doing anything. So,
you have to be on your computer through out the agreed time frame.
However, at the end of every hour, money gets into your account.
So, how do you choose jobs to do? Look at the job description and see
if you qualify. Then apply for the job. However, check on the top right
corner of the job page to see if the job has a verified payment method
by oDesk. If it is unverified, don't apply. You may end up loosing.
For bidding, choose a lower price than the average bid price when
starting out. However, in future, you will be able to place prices way
above the listed average bid price. This is because you will have a
good profile. You can also be guided by the budget of the job giver.
Choose a slightly lower price than the budget.
As you will note with most traditional data entry sites, you will need
to apply for the jobs and wait for approval. That’s why paydotcom and
clickbank type of data entry above is the most ideal. You do not need
to wait for approval or apply for anything.
Other Options:
Here is another website that you can use in the same way as paydotcom
or clickbank. It requires that you obtain the links in the same way and
promote them just as you did with the websites aforementioned..
Sign up for a free account as an affiliate. Then step by step, do as we
did with clickbank and paydotcom.
The good thing about this website is that you can even get paid via a
moneybookers account. You do not necessarily have to have a paypal
account or wait for a check in the mail. Get paid instantly.
Please check out this website too. I am testing it but have not yet
received money from it. But I have a feeling it is worth a try. Go to www.paygear.com
