We like it or not there are several answers for these questions
. First of all, unfortunately, since some of these data entry program websites are scams, the answer to this question is obvious. Setting up a website that has the potential of attracting some income is a way of life for some even though it can be easily called stealing. This getting rich advertise is in fact the way they are getting rich by deceiving other people into buying an inexistent product. With a little bit of research you can however figure out which data entry companies are scams and which are legitimate businesses.
Now to the answer of why most of the data entry companies ask you to pay a fee if you want to join their program. Well here are a few reasons why they do it. First of all they have employees that work as customer support and these people who are there to help the members need to be paid somehow. Also the program they are presenting you needs to be maintained and the website needs to be updated. This means there they too have to pay someone to have everything up and running so that they can help you make money. One of the ways the data entry companies answer this question is the fact that this is a screening. If you are willing to invest a small amount of money which they estimate at about two hours of your next work, then you are seriously enough to be working with them.
Another answer to why the fee question is that you are paying them for the service provided. If you think about it they did the research for you, contacted a lot of companies that need data entry services and they also show you how to do your job and offer guidance so you can have a good start in your new job. No matter what the answer to the question, and we are not talking about the scam work at home companies, if you think you found a good data entry company which offers a money back guarantee for their fee you should give it a try at improving or changing your life style.
