Personally, I have never done it so it would be remiss of me to make any recommendations but what is certain is that there are a lot of ads out there for people to do data entry as a way to make money online. Some companies will hire someone to do data entry from home instead of working in an office. Other times data entry is code for spamming anyone and everyone and trying to get signups for an offer or suchlike.

No matter what kind of data entry you’re looking at it’s important to know that this is not a home based business or even career. It is at the very most a home based job (very different from a business), a way of earning a few extra pennies and at the very worst a scam that will take your money and never pay you a anything.

If you are going to get involved with data entry do a lot of research first. If it’s a job it will not require an upfront fee (businesses take money to start jobs don’t) and they should be able to pay you an actual salary and tell you what it will be.

If there is no product to market, and all you’re doing is copy and pasting things all over the internet run and run fast? this type of operation is not legal and it’s never ever going to make you rich.

Keep in mind that no scammer is just going to come out and say ?yes this is a scam? so it will be up to you to ask the questions and get all the information.

Another thing that can help you avoid any type of scam is talking to the person on the phone. Never let all of your communication be through email. Speak to the person who wants you to get started, if they are involved in a legitimate business they should have no problem speaking to you.

Finally, data entry can mean a lot of different things. If you’re going to become involved in it make sure what you’re doing is legal and that you’re going to be able to make real money. Just be careful in general and always remember that if you’re looking for a real way to make money online a legitimate home based business is always going to be your best bet

At the time of writing it is being offered for a $1 trial for two weeks so I thought I would take the plunge and check it out, and I have to say I am immensely impressed with it. Storestacker basically gives you the ability to setup an online store using feeds from eBay (all geographies as far as I could tell) Amazon (both US and UK) and Clickbank (which sells eBooks and other digital/online products).    I will explain more during the course of this Storestacker Review.

If you signup as an affiliate (or associate in Amazon’s case) with these retailers then you will get a commision for every product which is sold which is sold through your store. And the best part is (at least for me anyway) is that you do not control stock, distribution or payments yourself – this is all done through the relevant retailer. You can see it in action at tips for celebrating christmas which took me about an hour to put up and customise (though see the notes below – it may take you longer).

How Much Does it Cost?

The basic package is $97 which includes the ability to include Youtube videos, Clickbank and Amazon. You can add the Clickbank plugin for another $25 (high commisions) and the ability to add RSS feeds for another $25.. there are also additional options for Overstock, RegNow and HotelClub.com for a total cost of $222. Whilst this cost may seem excessive bear in mind that this is a one off cost and allows you to build as many stores as you want in as many niches as you want so the potential is enormous. You can also add text to any page, google adsense (contextual adverts where you get paid every time somebody clicks on them no matter if they make a purchase) and even your own articles. There are also 12 templates for the site and the tutorials are uniformly excellent.One of the areas which concerned me was how are product details kept up to date (especially ebay auctions). Well, the answer is through setting CRON on your server, so it’s not a realtime feed but the instructions are clear and easy to implement – to my mind the ability to combine feeds from various sources into one category more than makes up for this.

So where can it be used?

Well, you can create as a stand alone website, or as a store tagged onto an already existing website – in fact there are many possibilities which I would urge you to explore.

Storestacker Review – So what is the downside?

Well, part from the cost, there are certain things you do need (all of which are easily gettable) BUT if you haven’t got them there will be a learning curve.

First, you install it on your own domain which means you need hosting and a domain name. Second you will need FTP (although there are instructions on uploading if you don’t have FTP). FTP is free but there is a learning curve to use it. Thirdly, you will need Amazon, Clickbank and eBay affiliate ids – again, the process of setting up is straightforward but will add to your time to setup your store. If you don’t have all these things already I would say half a day setup is more realistic. If you need help with any of the above then please leave a comment below.

Overall, I am really looking forward to building more stores through store stacker. I hope you found this Storestacker Review helpful   – click on the banner below to find out more:
