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.

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.

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.
