If not, you should consider it because it’s a nice way to get in on some little extras. You can sign up for products to test through Crowdtap product testing, and you can also earn a little extra money on the side by working for a data entry company.
Before you think that testing out products and data entry are two scam-type home opportunities, think again. There are plenty of companies who will let you do these things and they are 100 percent legitimate.
Crowdtap is a fairly new site. The more you participate there, the more likely you are to get in on really good product tests. For example, Old Navy is one of the main brands that Crowdtap promotes. They frequently sign up users to try out different types of clothes and accessories from the company. If Crowdtap isn’t for you, you can also sign up for BzzAgent or Smile.ly, which are two other reputable product testing companies. Doing this is a fun way to get something for free.
As far as earning money from home goes, data entry is a legitimate opportunity. While it’s true there are lots of scam operations out there claiming to offer data entry work, there are some that are legitimate. Dion Data and Key for Cash are two to consider. They hire home contractors to input information into their computers from handwritten forms. Pay varies and you’ll actually have a hard time finding the exact rate of pay from many of these companies because they often require workers to sign non-disclosure agreements. You may not be able to make a living with this type of work, but there’s a good chance you can earn enough to buy your groceries every week.
