Swagbucks

Hey Folks, I have come across a very interesting earning program that is truly a fun to work with i.e. SwabBucks. Swagbucks is one of the renowned sites in terms of online jobs. It offers multiple channels of income to it's users. A user earns a virtual currency called Swag Buck which can be redeemed in the reward store for popular gift cards. A user can select any sort of work from the plethora of available options. 

Let's see what all opportunities it offers:

1) Daily Poll: A user can just answer a simple daily poll question and earn 1 SwagBuck for it. A user can also suggest an interesting poll topic and if it gets selected, it will feature on the site plus it can earn you 100 Swagbucks for it.

2) Surveys: There are 3 types of surveys offered by Swagbucks : Gold Surveys, Partner Surveys and surveys by Peanut Labs. Based on your profile, these surveys will be available from time to time.

3) Tasks: Swagbucks hosts crowd source tasks by Crowd Flower. To boost your earnings, you can answer the tasks and get Swagbucks in return which will be added to your Swagbucks account.

4) Search: Yes, Swagbucks even rewards you for search done on it's search engine which is powered by Google and Bing. Though it doesn't reward you for every search but you can be lucky anytime.

5) Referral Program: The referral program offered by Swagbucks give you the opportunity to connect with friends and make money together.
 
These are some of the ways you can earn on Swagbucks. You can also earn more by watching videos, buying products from it's partners, downloading free apps and playing games etc. Let's see what rewards Swagbucks offers you in return.You can choose either PayPal or select gift cards from the popular online stores such as Jabong, Flipkart etc with the minimum denomination of 500Swagbucks.


You can find online articles and reviews claiming whether SwagBucks is a scam? I would suggest you to keep such sites at bay as Swagbucks is not a scam.
So what are you waiting for? Head on to Swagbucks now. You can SignUp here.

Virtual Bee (Key For Cash)

Hello Readers,
In this post I would like to mention about VirtualBee formerly known as KeyForCash.com, a well known site which offers data entry work. LionBridge Technology, a leader in professional translation and localization services, acquired Virtual Solutions, the parent company of VirtualBee.

Virtual Bee offers you to work as an independent contractor, there is no guarantee of work availability and there will be no minimum amount you could expect to earn in single sitting. The amount of work varies and each piece of work has it's known set of earnings defined.

A user can simply login to the account, select a category to work for and start working. There is no timer set and you can take your own time to key the characters but remember they always add test questions in the middle and so entering junk characters would risk your account. The payout threshold is set at 10$ and payments are processed via PayPal once a user reaches the threshold.


Below is a screenshot of the workspace on VirtualBee.


 
Let's understand what these labels mean.
  1. Account Total is the total amount accumulated in your account. 
  2. Session Total is the amount you have earned so far with the correct keystrokes in the current session.
  3. Unconfirmed Keystrokes implies that the system is validating data entered and therefore if all the keystrokes entered are valid, then the amount will be credited to your account else the invalid ones are deducted.
  4. Session Keystrokes is the total number of keystrokes entered.
  5. Skipped Snippets are the images that you have skipped.
Remember, if more number of images are skipped, the accuracy decreases and they will ban your account.
 
You can have a look at the payment proof by clicking HERE.

You can join VirtualBee HERE.

Final Words On VirtualBee:

It is quite hard to earn money on VirtualBee because work isn't available always, and there is no update on when the data chunks are added. If I had to decide between VirtualBee and BPOMart, I would choose the latter because there is some sort of work guarantee and payout threshold is also less compared to VirtualBee. Again, there is no update on work availability. I just work on this site when there is free time and I have nothing else to do.

So, if you are looking for better earning opportunity, check out the BPOMart HERE.

BPOMART

Hello Readers,
I have come up with an exciting earning opportunity that generates sure short income if you are sincere towards your work. Well, I am going to present a website which offers genuine data entry work at the comfort of your home.

BPOMart offers data entry work online without any investment! You can join BPOMart here

http://bpomart.com/


Let's take a deeper look at the site.

The site requires you to first take the typing test and for that you need to install Microsoft SilverLight software. It's totally safe to install SilverLight. After completeing the installation, you may go ahead with the test. Based on the test results you'll be directed to a video on how BPOMart works, what sort of entries you have to make, etc.
Typing Test at BPOMart

If you devote complete attention, then you'll definitely qualify for the test resembling actual data entry work which you'll be doing. Once you clear this test, you'd be presented the registration form. If you have passed the second test, then go ahead with the registration and remember to do this in one sitting only as BPOMart remembers you only after you have done the registration as you may have noticed it doesn't ask for any information (not even your email id) till both the tests are completed.

For registration, it asks for you name, bank account number, IFSC code of the bank etc.Payments are done via bank transfer.

Can I retake the test if I fail the first???

Don't worry if you fail as BPOMart is the only site I have come across which allows you to take up tests as many times as you like.

Once you are done with registration, you can login to the site and gain access to the workstation. BPOMart loads images from Tuesday to Saturday and mostly the work is loaded on early mornings. The site gives a complete analysis of your work, the mismatches you've typed, your accuracy level and earnings.

Payments are made once a user reaches 250Rs/- threshold around 15th of every month. If a user doesn't have the minimum threshold in a specific calendar month, the balance is carried forward to the next month.
I really like their way of work especially the work reports. This gives a chance to analyze the typos and correct them in the next set of work. Again the thumb rule is higher the typing speed, higher the earnings. You can have a look at their FAQs to get a detailed analysis of payments versus typing speed.

My Take On BPOMART:

BPOMART is the one of the best sites if you are looking for a decent income with a typing job. The payments are made without any hassles if you cross the threshold limit. No need to bother about payment information as the site uses the data entered while sign up process and sends payments to the bank. The only thing that would make this site even better is by sending it's users an update on work availability; user needs to check manually if the work station is active.

Hope you'll make good earnings from this site.

Happy Earning!

Crowdsourcing

Hello Readers,
Tired of clicking ads on the PTC sites and can't see any sort of increment in your earnings? Read on to know how you could utilize the free time online and get paid in return.

The volumes of information available on the internet is sorted and grouped by dividing it into small 'tasks' often called as HITs(Human Intelligence Tasks). Crowdsourcing is getting tasks done from people, or micro-workers as they are often called as, around the world on the online platform. A HIT is a stand-alone task such as finding address on the URL provided, copying contact information from websites, searching a particular keyword, etc.

You log in to your account, check the available HITs and select the ones which are of interest to you. After you submit the task, it is verified and based on the required criteria it is either accepted or rejected. If your work gets accepted, then the payment is transferred to your work account. It is important to maintain the accuracy level because the chances are that you may get more work depending on your good performance and vice-versa.

Some sites pay the users if they reach the payout threshold whereas some transfer even the amount earned from a single task which can be as low as 0.01$. The payment is done via different channels with PayPal being the most preferred payment processor.

MegaTypers

Hello Readers,
In one of my posts, I have mentioned about captcha entry work online you can check it out HERE. Just like I have said, in this post I am going to talk about one of the captcha entry site Megatypers.



You can register at Megatypers by clicking HERE. The site requires you to enter an invitation code while registering. You may use any of the following codes at Megatypers. 

Megatypers changes the hourly rate of the captcha images and the best time to work for them is mostly between 11hrs-17hrs of the server time when the pay rate is usually increased to 0.90$ to 1.00$. Payments are made on every Monday if a user reaches the payout threshold i.e. 3$ for PayPal users and 100$ for Western Union transfer.

MegaTypers never sends you any sort of communication, not even once! You need to be careful with the account information, if ever you happen to forget the password, then forget your account as well because the password recovery option is disabled. Earlier they didn't even offered the provision to change the payment processor but now they have added this option.

The site also runs a typing contest every 20mins to make the work more fun and rewarding. The typer credits from each contest are distributed among the participants according to the ranking by dividing the total score by 500 until the amount runs out. If you don't stand in the top ranking for a particular contest, you'll not receive any amount for the images you have solved during the contest.

TyperDraw: Megatyper also hosts a typer draw for it's users. You can simply buy the draw tickets from the money accumulated in your account balance. If you win the draw, the amount will be credited to your typer account.

A user is required to maintain good typing speed failing which you'd be banned from using the site. Also, one must not enter garbage values instead of given data as the information entered is strictly monitored and a user gets banned if garbage values are entered. I would rather not recommend such jobs but they can be handy if you really want to make use of your free time.

Happy Earning!

Data Entry

Hello Readers,
If you are looking for online typing job, then you must read on to know what types of work is available online and how you could utilize it to maximize your earnings. Basically, an online typing work is of two types:
1) Captcha Entry and
2) Data Entry

1) Captcha Entry: Yes, the same captcha which we've been entering in the online forms since ages to 'verify ourselves as humans'! Captcha is basically used to avoid fake or multiple entries in web forms and to identify bots that try to gain illegal access into the systems.

For Captcha Entry, you would be provided with an image and you need to type whatever you see on the image file.


It's the same captcha which is a must to enter in the online forms while registration. Each captcha must be typed within certain time limit. Here you need to make sure that you don't type garbage value, if it is unreadable then you must skip it to maintain your accuracy level. 

There are sites that offer captcha entry as an online job. They pay you around 0.45$ to 1$ per thousand images and the payout is as low as 3$. Sites such as MegaTypers and Protypers top the list of captcha entry sites. 


Data from each image has to be entered in a given amount of time, say 15 seconds. If you don't enter the data in the given time, it will have an effect on your account. The system will warn you about the inactivity  and it will result in eventual ban if the same is repeated. You can skip a badly formatted image but remember, if you repeatedly skip images then your account will be banned.

2) Data Entry:
 
For Data Entry, you are required to enter 'sensible' data such as names of individuals, cities, numbers etc. from the provided images. Different sites have different requirements of the information that is to be entered.
Some sites even add test questions in the data chunk to check if a user types credible information.
A Sample Data Entry Work
Each set of snippets must be typed following the specified guidelines failing which would lead to an eventual ban.

These sites can generate good income if you are willing to devote time and have good typing speed because the amount of money you earn is purely dependent on the typing speed. The work is mostly available during night and so you must be willing to work accordingly as there won't be any notification of work availability.

People often fall prey to most fraudsters claiming to provide work online at a certain price and in return they give them the CDs/ DVDs containing names of sites providing captcha work or data entry work which is easily availbale online for free.
