Hello, dear readers of our blog! We all dream of good wages, stability, abundance and prosperity. But sometimes events happen that can throw us off track, such as an economic crisis.
Recently, this uninvited guest has visited several countries: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine. In this regard, an increasing number of people are looking for new sources of income. Therefore, today we invite you to get acquainted with such remote work as a typist at home.
In the Internet era, this vacancy is becoming more and more in demand. There are millions of websites, and they all need quality content. For this, it comes to the rescue, because many people have access to the Internet, and working from any corner of the world is a tempting prospect.
Who is a typist
We hasten to tell you what kind of work awaits those who love to compose, print, edit and be always online. Let's remember a little history. Previously, when the information era was just beginning, there was a need for people who could easily carry out banal typing. Now this is not just a typesetter, but a whole profile that has different types and tasks.
Some 15 - 20 years ago, typists (simply typesetters) manually typed various texts. But, fortunately, the 21st century has arrived, and technology is now able to scan text, recognize it and display it on electronic media.
It turns out that typing is not relevant? - you ask. Not at all, the traditional job of a “typist” has disappeared, because now typing skills alone are not enough. Now it is important to be able to edit, write unique texts, design them beautifully, quickly type on a computer, and fill them with useful and relevant information.
How to avoid falling for scammers' tricks
Be careful, if before starting work you are required to pay the so-called insurance premium, then this is a scam and you have fallen into the hands of scammers. There are a lot of reviews about such “companies” on the Internet. All decent customers hire workers without an insurance premium. It is important to understand one thing: if you do the work, then you should be paid, not you, so here we will do without investing our own funds.
Honest companies work without prepayment (insurance) on your part!
Well, for those who are reading this article after being burned, we advise you not to be upset, because even in this case there is a positive side. Everyone who worked and got divorced gained valuable experience. And next time they will be smarter and will not fall for this kind of proposal. Therefore, before adding your employer to the white list, try to collect as much information and reviews about him on the Internet.
Types of modern typing
Nowadays, the role of the so-called typesetter has changed. Now the work is to write a unique text or modify the previous version in order to increase the same uniqueness.
There are the following types of working with text:
- Working with scanned text
This is the simplest type of activity. The essence of this work is that the customer sends scanned sheets of text, and the performer’s responsibility is to convert this material into an electronic version. In this case, it is important to be able to type quickly. If you are wondering where to find available vacancies from publishing houses and real customers, then read.
Also a simple job of translating speech from audio or video material into text, at the customer’s request - verbatim or with editing.
This is writing unique original texts from scratch on various topics. This field of activity is suitable for those who can quickly type on a computer and are also well versed in narrow topics, for example: construction, sales, fashion, etc. For those who like to play with words and create interesting and light lines. If this sounds like you, then you are on your way to becoming a copywriter. For successful freelancing, be sure to collect feedback on the work you have done previously.
Anyone can master this profession if they have good literacy and perseverance. Its essence is that the customer provides you with a text, and your task is to skillfully remake it, retell it so that the essence and meaning remain the same, and the uniqueness increases several times. Many sites need such texts. Of course, a rewriter’s salary is less than a copywriter’s, but even these funds are an excellent part-time job that will be an incentive for further development. We will talk about salaries in more detail in the next article (link will come later).
- Editor
An ideal job for people with perfect literacy and the ability to see mistakes. If at school you fantasized about how you would cross out mistakes in notebooks with a red pen, then this profession will be to your liking. The editor's job responsibilities include correcting text errors: stylistic, spelling, syntactic. The skillful hand of the editor will complement the picture when creating a unique text.
- SEO optimization
This type of activity is now very popular, because every website owner wants his product or service to be seen by everyone in need. This is why you need a freelancer who will optimize the text. This is done using keywords that people enter in the search bar. Therefore, more people will see your optimized text. In the end, everyone is fine. You receive the necessary information, and the company receives a desired client.
- Translations
This is another type of activity in typing. Just to engage in translation, you need to have certain knowledge and skills. In this case, it is proficiency in a foreign language at an advanced level. Translators' salaries are always decent. However, you understand, this is a very interesting matter. The main thing is to speak several languages competently and success will not keep you waiting.
- Posting
Another type of work that appeared after the emergence of forums. To put it simply, this is a regular comment that you write after carefully reading the articles. Similar tasks are given on various exchanges in order to increase the popularity of the site. This type of activity is liked by many schoolchildren and students who like to spend time online.
- Site moderator
We decided that it was worth including a moderator in this list, although this is a related industry. If the site brings sufficient profit to the owner, then the question arises about the vacancy of a moderator who will edit ready-made texts, as well as order new ones (periodically draw up technical assignments for copywriters). All this is necessary to ensure that there is a stable influx of new readers, and that the site is visited and read.
This is a short list of what a typist does, you may be interested in others, so try, experiment and you will definitely find your job.
Who is this profession suitable for?
The profession will be able to master:
- schoolchildren and students,
- certified translators,
- proofreaders,
- mothers on maternity leave,
- pensioners, etc.
In general, everyone who is friends with literacy.
Character qualities and skills of the employee
At first glance, it seems that any person who has basic knowledge and a computer can type text, but let’s highlight in detail those character traits and skills that you cannot do without:
- perfect literacy,
- responsibility for your work,
- adequacy,
- communication skills
- perseverance and patience,
- creative mind,
- basic PC skills,
- erudition,
- fluent knowledge of Russian or several foreign languages,
- ability to find solutions in difficult situations.
It happens that a person wants to work remotely, but does not yet know where to start. We recommend reading a book about the most popular professions on the Internet. This will save you time and give you the opportunity to decide on those areas in which you should definitely try yourself.
Conclusion
Working with texts is always exciting and at the same time unpredictable. This is why it is wonderful - you can always show your creativity and ingenuity to the fullest. Therefore, if you are drawn to a piece of paper and a pen or keyboard, you should definitely try yourself in this direction. We will guide you on the right path with our step-by-step guide.
Follow our new articles, where we will reveal this profession even more, and also tell you about all the pitfalls and pleasant bonuses.
All the best to you!

This all sounds good, but in reality, many who try to find this vacancy often encounter either scammers, or it turns out that this vacancy is already filled or the price for payment is very, very low. Although the work is simple, there are really a lot of pitfalls here!🙂
Therefore, I decided to write a complete and detailed article that will really help you find a job as a typist with adequate pay or find another simple job on the Internet.
☝️ It is important to say that it is typing that scammers very often use to lure money from applicants for this popular vacancy.
Sometimes it is not so easy to determine that you are a scammer. Therefore, be sure to read all the information in this article, which will help you avoid losing your money in the future.
In addition, read the article about with real examples - you will find a lot of useful and interesting things in it!
❗️So today I will tell you:
- On what websites can you actually find current typist vacancies? The list is attached!
- How to identify scammers and not lose your money?
- What real reviews are there about typing and is it worth doing?
- What other simple jobs available to everyone can earn money from home on the Internet?
Ready to learn about all this and more? Then let's go!👇
1. Typing: what is it, responsibilities, is it worth doing and how much can you earn?
Typing- this is essentially a reprint on a computer of a manuscript or printed text from the original scanned materials (books, various documents...). In other words, usually you just need to retype the text and format it in a text editor (often Microsoft Word).Such a vacancy is usually offered by various publishing houses that need to translate materials into printed form for their subsequent publication.
The requirements for a typist are often the following:
- more or less fast and high-quality typing on a computer;
- basic computer knowledge;
- attentiveness and hard work.
Typically, you should also be familiar with the Microsoft Word program, in which the text is actually typed. If you are proficient in touch typing (10-finger typing), then this will be a huge advantage for you.
As a rule, you can work as a typesetter flexible schedule at any time convenient for you. Some employers even enter into an agreement, which is a big plus.
In general, everything is quite simple and nothing more difficult is required here! Got it figured out!🙂
❓ However, is it even worth looking for vacancies and working as a typist? And besides, how much can you earn from this?
If you want to earn extra money from home without work experience, then typing is perfect.
However, although there is great demand for this vacancy, there are really good vacancies for it not so often , as we would like. And the volume of orders for typing is often limited.
Therefore, I would advise you to additionally consider other simple jobs for earning money from home if you fail to find a job as a typist. You can find a list of them in this article, towards the end of the article.
Also read a useful article about the topic: (it lists 14 vacancies and 3 resources for finding a job)!
Now let’s talk about how much you can earn approximately!
💡 About payment!
On average, payment for 1 thousand retyped characters amounts to from 4 to 25 rubles. If the text is complex, the cost may be slightly higher!You can earn on average per month with part-time workload 6-20 thousand rubles . In fact, not much, but given the simplicity and the fact that you will not work every day and not 8 hours , then this is a more or less acceptable income.
By the way, you can agree in advance on the payment account with the employer so that he transfers money to you daily for the work performed. Often even employers themselves offer typing with daily payment .
Money for work performed is most often transferred to bank card, less often on Yandex money and Qiwi wallet. However, this can always be negotiated.
Of course, working as a typist is far from ideal. For example, sometimes there may be clumsy handwriting that is sometimes difficult to decipher. But I will tell you about all the nuances a little later in this article, have a little patience.
2. Real reviews about typing at home without investment
On the Internet you can find a huge number of both positive and negative reviews about this vacancy. There are still more negative ones, since more often it is those who have become victims of scammers and have not found a job who leave their reviews and comments about this vacancy.But this does not mean at all that it is impossible to find a typing job without advance payment at home! You just need to understand that in real life, text reprinting services are rarely required by companies.
Well, now let's move on to reviews of this work:

Olga
At one time I was also looking for part-time work at home as a typist. But in the end it all came down to advances, prepayments or insurance premiums. Once I finally took the bait and paid 100 rubles. Accordingly, I did not receive any answer and no money!From that moment, I realized that various prepayments are a complete scam. As soon as they demanded insurance premiums from me, I didn’t want to deal with such companies anymore.
In fact, there are conscientious employers, but there are few of them and you won’t find them the first time. I chose a slightly different path, in my opinion more profitable - writing articles. Here the payment is many times higher, and without any prepayments or contributions. And the demand for copywriters and rewriters on the Internet is hundreds of times higher.

3. Working as a typist at home: TOP 7 sites for finding vacancies without prepayment
Prices for typing on the website typing-texta.rf
Website No. 2: Kwork.ru
Another fairly popular remote work site where you can find work as a typist is kwork.ru. This is a fairly new freelance exchange with a fixed fee for work (accordingly, there is no price dumping among freelancers as such).
✔️ You just need to place “ kwork” (i.e. an advertisement) about offering your services and wait for a response from customers. By the way, here you can find other part-time work at home for part-time and without work experience.
The only negative, in my opinion, is the high competition for typing and the importance of having a rating (positive reviews). Otherwise, the exchange is really quite good, no tariffs or “fees” need to be paid, only a small commission is provided for orders already completed and paid for (this is a standard phenomenon on exchanges).
Example of advertisements on the website kwork.ru (click to enlarge)
Site No. 3: Rabota.yandex.ru
Work.yandex.ru is the largest job aggregator, which collects available vacancies from almost all over the Internet every day.
You can often find real advertisements from real employers with good pay!
☝️This is important!
Take precautions against scammers - I described them in the next section of the article. And most importantly - don't pay anyone money!
Example of typist vacancies on rabota.yandex.ru
Site No. 4: Trud.com
This is another popular job search portal. Here you can also find quite a lot of typing ads.
Most, of course, are fraudulent, but there are also real advertisements - the main thing is to look hard. Therefore, you look at ads not only on page 1 in the search results!
Website No. 5: Trovit.com
Trovit.com- another large platform for searching vacancies on the Internet. In addition to typing jobs, there are many other work-from-home job postings posted daily.
Site No. 6: Avito.ru
Avito- this is not only one of the most popular platforms where you can sell and buy inexpensive goods and services, but you can also find many interesting vacancies.
So here you can find current typing vacancies from direct employers, employers, but also in the section “ Offer of services » publish your job search advertisements.
Often employers prefer to search for employees based on the offers they have submitted.
Sites No. 7: Freelance Exchanges
Typing tasks are often published on freelance exchanges. The downside is that these are usually one-time tasks, although there are exceptions.
Some exchanges have a section "Vacancies", so take a look there too!
You will find a complete list of more than 100 freelance exchanges for remote work in a separate article -!👈
4. Typing and fraud - how to avoid? We identify scammers
There are a lot of scammers offering jobs as typists on the Internet! Unfortunately, there are many more of them than real ads from real companies. Therefore, you need to look for vacancies with extreme caution.
But exposing scammers is actually not that difficult, just follow a few tips below that I have prepared for you! I really hope they help!👇
Example of tasks and payment on Work-Zilla related to the text
The only disadvantages include the fact that before you can fulfill orders you need to undergo a simple test (the answers can be found on the Internet without any problems), and you will also need to pay a small tariff.
In particular, this was done in order to sweep away “freeloaders” and work only with people who have serious intentions of making money.
Plus, it is also possible to complete tasks from a mobile phone, so you don’t necessarily need a computer.
6. Features of the vacancy - typist
Well, at the end of the article I want to say a few words about the important features of typing at home. These are rather pitfalls that many people are not even aware of! And you need to know about them! 😀
- In appearance, working as a typist seems simple, but this does not always correspond to reality. Since texts can often contain various mathematical and chemical formulas, tables, drawings, difficult technical words … All of this takes much longer to type. And some unscrupulous customers do not want to pay them separately!
- Also sometimes required correct and format text(correct errors, highlight it in italics/bold, make markup...) as it is reprinted from the source. And this also requires additional time!
- Another important feature is that printed text is extremely common rarely. This is true because there are special programs that automatically scan printed text with a minimum number of errors. Then all that remains is to double-check and correct it.
- But handwritten text meets in most cases . And it is not always possible to retype it quickly, since you often have to understand the clumsy handwriting and guess from the meaning what the author had in mind. Unclear words will need to be marked as “unreadable”.
7. Conclusion
I tried very hard to write an objective and truthful article so that you get a complete picture with all the pros and cons about typing for money. I hope I managed to do this!
In conclusion, from my experience I can say that it is not always worth focusing only on the vacancy of a typist - on the Internet you can consider other much better paid and more interesting vacancies, with a much lower risk of stumbling upon scammers.
I agree, some remote vacancies are still not suitable for everyone, since knowledge and work experience are often required. But in the age of the Internet, you can learn almost everything through a computer in a short time - I am an example of this! Just need sincerely strive , then everything will work out 100%! 🙂
I had never even imagined that I would make money on the Internet, but I learned something (watched videos, read articles...) along the way, tried, tried and achieved something I had never dreamed of before! Everything is real if you believe in it!
In any case, in order to make good money (everywhere, not even on the Internet), you need to develop your skills and abilities. And mistakes and failures are just necessary difficulties on the way to success . And of course, try to listen to your inner voice, it will tell you in which direction to move!
In any case, as for me, remote work is many times better than work in the “standard” sense.
So is it worth it or not?
Do you think working as a typist deserves attention? And is it even worth spending your time searching for it or is it better to make money on something else? Write about it in the comments!
If you have been scammed, please write in the comments about your experience. And also, for many it will be useful if you indicate the email addresses of the scammers!
Friends, from the bottom of my heart I wish you success and good luck in all your endeavors! And if it’s not difficult for you, rate the article and share it on social networks! Thanks in advance!😀
Quote of the day: I type in the text - I rake in the loot!
Greetings, dear readers of the site about making money on the Internet “Money Time”. Today we will try to deal with this type of earnings, such as typing text on a computer without investments and deception.
In this article we will look at:
- typing - how to make money on it without investment;
- typist - what does he do;
- where to look for vacancies without insurance premium;
- how not to be deceived and recognize scammers;
- tools that make the typist's work easier.
After reading this post. you can not only understand the meaning of the work, but also find a real job as a typist, without fear of being deceived or demanding insurance premiums. Happy reading.
What is the essence of working from home typing without investment and deception with daily payment
The essence of typing on the Internet is simple: you are provided with a source of text that you need to type on a computer and transfer the electronic document to the customer. Such sources are:
- manuscript;
- scanned documents;
- photo of pages;
- pictures;
- infographics;
- audio and video files.
Do not confuse typing with rewriting and copywriting. These are completely different things. When copywriting and rewriting, you will at least need minimal knowledge in SEO and tools to check uniqueness. When typing, you just need to type the text without changing its words, content or meaning.
Typist - who is he?
A typist is a computer operator who digitizes various sources of information and transfers data into an electronic document.
Absolutely anyone who has free time and a computer for work can work as a typist. School knowledge of the Russian language is also necessary, because if there may still be punctuation marks and correctly written words in the manuscript or scanned documents, then in audio and video files you will monitor the spelling yourself. If you have problems with this, then use Microsoft Word and special online services for checking grammar, spelling and punctuation (the list is below).
It’s also a good idea to master touch typing techniques, which will speed up your typing significantly.
Typically, students, teenagers, mothers on maternity leave, people with disabilities or those temporarily unemployed earn money. One of the advantages of this type of income is that you are not tied to a specific workplace. You work at home, whether in Moscow or St. Petersburg, or you can earn extra money while relaxing on the shores of the Black Sea in Sochi.
Who pays
If you think that this service is not relevant, then you are very mistaken. Not long ago I personally visited a site where typists work. The restaurant manager needed the services of typesetters when creating instructions for staff, and we took part of the text from a scanned book, so typesetters wrote this part for us.
There are a lot of webmasters who need a text version of videos or podcasts. There are many customers in this topic, but there are no less performers, there is competition.
How much can you earn
Probably the most difficult question. The main thing here is how and for whom you will work. If you work on sites where this service is provided, then you will earn a little from one order, but you will not need to look for customers yourself; this is up to the site administration.
Let's take the minimum. Typing a thousand characters from a printed source costs 35 rubles. Usually in practice the performer receives 1/3 of the completed order . If you type 10,000 characters, then divide 350 by 3 and get our earnings of 116 rubles. Few?
Of course, it’s not enough, because if you worked for yourself, you could keep the entire amount for yourself. This is an example with printed text. If you are provided with a manuscript, and even with text that is difficult to read, then your earnings will be higher. The same applies to typing texts from videos and audio files.
As I already wrote above, the entire amount will go to you and only you. This is profitable, but the question arises of finding customers on your own. Independent typists work either on freelance exchanges, copywriting exchanges and thematic forums. Here you set your own price.
For example, this young lady earns 500 rubles for 10,000 characters printed text, but they don’t even always pay that kind of money and she has orders.
But don’t think that as soon as you register and set this price, a queue of customers will line up for you. First, you will need to earn a reputation by offering the customer either a lower cost for the same volume as competitors or a larger volume for the same cost. And after you have earned a reputation, you will be able to set the price you need.
There are a lot of offers on the Internet on job search sites. There you are no longer offered one-time part-time jobs from time to time, but full-time employment with an average salary of 30,000 rubles, which you will agree is not so bad.
But here you need to be extremely careful and suspicious and take care to sign a contractual relationship with the employer. It is very easy to find a naive person or a person in a difficult situation who is ready to do anything for the sake of work. And after he’s worked for a month, just throw him away, because he hasn’t even seen the employer and there’s nowhere to complain.
Deception, fraud and scams
Alas, working on the Internet always involves the risk of being deceived, and typing text on a computer is no exception. Therefore, before you take up the keyboard, evaluate how honest the customer is and whether he wants to deceive you.
Follow these tips:
- Too good an offer. If you see a price that is too good, then this is not a call to action, but rather a reason to suspect something is wrong. Also pay attention to the date of registration of the customer and the number of successful transactions
- No prepayments! If a customer asks you to transfer 100 rubles as a deposit or insurance premium, so that you will not take his “valuable” manuscripts for yourself or will not violate deadlines - this is a rotten casserole, do not go to the fortune teller.
- No SMS confirmations. If, to confirm your desire to earn money by typing, you are asked to send a code sent to your phone number, then most likely a tidy sum will be debited from your mobile account after sending the code. This rule does not apply to reputable freelance and copywriting exchanges, but there you will only be required to do this upon registration.
- If the original work or employment contract is sent to you by mail with cash on delivery, you are being deceived. Don't pay anything, get unnecessary paper in an envelope.
- Do not pay for the work of “checkers” of test items. If you are asked to do a test task and then pay for the editor’s work, then you are being deceived. After payment you will no longer see the customer or orders. So, do not complete complex test tasks, most likely they will immediately give them to the real customer and receive your money.
Be especially wary if you have found a permanent remote job. Request the conclusion of an agreement, check the details in the agreement, call the telephone numbers indicated not in the agreement, but on the website of the company specified in the agreement. Believe me, if you work for free for a whole month for scammers, you will leave the Internet forever, but you can earn money here.
Follow these simple tips and reduce the risk of being deceived to zero.
Rule of life: It's better to be too safe than too late!
Sites for making money typing on the Internet
Check out my list of reliable sites where you can find typing jobs at home without investment. Of course, there are many more of them, but you can stumble upon deception and scammers.
1. Aveptext (not relevant)
The site is more focused on copywriting and rewriting, but they also do typing. Unfortunately, there are few orders, since the site has its own staff and only when there is an overabundance of orders, they give them to third-party typesetters. Payment depends on the volume and complexity of the order and is calculated individually. They pay using WebMoney (), Yandex money and QIWI wallet.
The site no longer accepts applications!
2. KWORK
Today I consider this the best freelance services store. Initially, the price for any work here is 500 rubles, but you determine the volume for this price and, again, you assign additional services. If you want to work only for yourself, then I would advise starting with this site.
Withdrawal of money is carried out upon application to WebMoney and Qiwi electronic wallets.
3. ToDo (exchange closed)
This website for freelance services is practically a copy of KWORK, but unlike Kwork there is no fixed price of 500 rubles, and you can immediately set your own. Basically, typists there ask for 100 rubles for 10,000 characters with spaces from a well-readable source. Withdrawing money to Qiwi and WebMoney wallets. System commission for work is 20%.
4. YouDo (Yudu)
A huge portal for finding performers for completely different tasks, from repairing a toilet to designing spaceships. You can find typing orders here. In order to become a performer, you will have to fill out a form and pass a mini-test on your knowledge of the rules of the portal, so you will have to study them.
They withdraw money only to a Qiwi wallet upon request. The minimum withdrawal amount is 300 rubles.
5. WorkZilla
One of my favorite sites for finding customers and performers is WorkZilla. I use this site the most, although I didn’t order typing there, but I’m sure that I could find a typing operator there in a few minutes. A very convenient search system, a large number of customers and performers.
Money is withdrawn to WebMoney or Yandex Money.
Workzilla has only one drawback - to get the right to work you need to buy a subscription, but if you really work every day, then it pays off in the very first days.
6.MoguZa
Another popular site where freelancers offer their services for money. Withdrawing money to a WebMoney wallet, the minimum withdrawal amount is 50 rubles.
7. Author24
The author24 project is mainly designed to help in educational or scientific activities, allowing you to order from a school essay to a scientific dissertation on string theory and dark matter (hello to all fans of the Big Bang Theory). However, here additional income is possible for authors and performers in the form of: business assistance, tutoring, online consultations, and translations of text into various languages. Here you can earn money by simply typing text.
8. Avito
On Avito you can also look for work as a typist, but you should not forget that this site is loved by all sorts of deceivers and scammers, so be vigilant and follow.
Here you can find work as a typist in the office, or as a remote employee via the Internet.
9. Textx.ru
TextX differs from all the above sites in that they allow you to earn money not from classic typing, but from something in between typing and rewriting. Employees at TextX are called editors, and the earnings themselves consist of changing the texts offered and their subsequent resale on the TextX website itself or partner sites.
The diagram looks like this.
- Book an available package of texts on the website. Usually these are 10-20 small texts with a total volume of 30-50 thousand characters.
- Redemption of reserved texts. Yes, after booking you will have to purchase these texts to start working with them.
- Editing text. You are required not to type the text, but to correct it, i.e. correct spelling, grammatical and syntax errors in the text, and also increase the uniqueness of the article, if it is low, then increases it by rewriting non-unique pieces of text.
- Corrected articles are bought back by the Textix website, or the works are exhibited in partner stores to be bought back at a higher price.
- Making a profit.
The advantage of working as an editor is a higher income compared to regular typing, but the disadvantage is that articles first need to be purchased, and only then they must be sold if they are put up in article stores.
Working as an editor at textx.ru is a kind of transitional form from typing to rewriting and copywriting. The site has a good affiliate program and every month there is a competition for the best editor with an impressive monetary reward. The editor who takes first place receives 25 thousand rubles plus his monthly income. By the way, a top editor earns 45,000 rubles a month.
10. Audio Bureau
Although the AudioBuro recording studio is more focused on providing services related to audio and video formats for its clients, it also provides copywriting, typing and transcription services. In the “Vacancies” section there is an offer of employment both as a typist and several other vacancies that may be of interest to you. You can work remotely.
RabotuNaidu
If you were looking for a job on the Internet, you should definitely have come to the site rabotunaide.ru, where thousands of tempting vacancies with simple work and good pay are posted. You can also find a vacancy for a typist or a PC operator here, you can search. But don’t really count on finding real employers, since the administration does not check advertisements in any way and scammers have chosen this site. But sometimes real advertisements hatch.
vacancy for typist on rabotunaidu.ru
These ten sites are enough for you to start working as a typist at home on the Internet without investment or deception. Personally, I chose Kwork and WorkZilla for myself, but I have been a customer for a long time. If they are not enough for you, then look for analogues or try to find a vacancy for a typing operator on freelance and copywriting exchanges, as well as forums for job offers on the Internet.
Blacklist of fraudulent sites
Below I provide you with a blacklist of sites that supposedly offer to make money by typing, but in fact are just scams for money scams. If you know a site that is known to deceive people that is not on this list, write to me and I will add it.
- Employee-Plus is the No. 1 fake content exchange in Russia, which I, however, have never heard anything about. It has a vacancy section where it offers jobs as a typist at home. It has a high-quality deceptive design that lulls people's vigilance. As a result, they demand an insurance premium and disappear.
- The publishing house "Ural Print" is an absolute clone employee +, they changed the design a little, but the essence remained the same. Fake website with fake vacancies. They ask for a cash contribution and disappear.
- Publishing house "Megamax" (http://megamax1.ru) - they promise almost mountains of gold, specifically 125 rubles for reprinting a page of scanned text. No one will pay you such amounts. Definitely a scam for money, which is confirmed by many victims. Can write from email [email protected] or [email protected]
- Demidov Printing House is an exact clone of Megamax, only the name, address and telephone number have been changed. They are looking for a PC operator who will type text. For each order, and there will be exactly one, you will be asked for money, supposedly for insurance.
- Publishing house "Alliance".
- Publishing house "Globus" (information in the comments from Tatyana).
- Publishing house "Sofia". Such a publishing house actually exists, but it does not require typesetters. Fraudsters are simply using a real publishing house to scam people.
- “Media Text” are another deceivers demanding insurance premiums. Fraudsters are very fond of the word “media” (media text, media groups, media set, media print), be careful.
- Publishing house "Nymph" ( [email protected]) - a standard scam with an insurance premium.
- Publishing house "Andreevsky". They weren’t too lazy, they created the website “http://andreevskiy.info” and even filled it out. The main section is “Our Vacancies”, through which the deception occurs. They can write on behalf of a certain Olga Tsyganova from the post office [email protected]. They communicate exactly before you transfer funds.
- Publishing house "Marcus" ( [email protected], https://marcusid.ru). Well, that’s all: there’s a website, they write to you by email, and the insurance premium is simple and nah...they send it.
- “Publishing house Nauka-Center” (“http://nauka-centr.com”) - the guys approached the body with action. We took data from a real publishing house, made a website and started accepting people who wanted to make money by typing. SV was some 700-800 rubles. Don't be fooled.
- Copydaily.ru (mail "
- Publishing house "Knigomir"). The usual scam with vacancies for a typist. They promise a salary of up to 55,000 rubles. The website states that they have been operating since 2012, although the website is only 1 month old.
- Publishing house "Kamrad" (https://camarad-id.ru/, mail [email protected]). Right on the main page there is an announcement in large font that typists are needed. They promise 200 rubles for typing one sheet. Yes, if prices were like that, I would earn 5 thousand a day. Brazen scammer.
- LLC "Rakurs" ( [email protected]) - they ask for a deposit, which is not returned and disappears.
- Printing house "PeroPrint" ( [email protected]). Such a printing house actually exists, but it does not have a vacancy for a typing operator. Real mail is different from what scammers write.
- Rellout-Books (“http://rellout.ru”, “ [email protected]") - another fake publishing house with vacancies for a text digitizer.
[collapse]
Remember! All publishing houses, printing houses and agencies offering vacancies as remote typists are 100% scam. If you are offered 100 rubles per page of typing - 100% deception!
I ask everyone who has encountered deception and fraud on the part of publishing houses, printing houses, or you have simply received an email about a vacancy for a typist, to write your comments or reviews about the company so that other users do not fall for the deception. Thank you.

Conclusion
Today we looked at this type of earning money on the Internet as working as a typist at home. Although the work is for beginners, it is by no means as simple as it seems at first glance. The work is monotonous, requires attention and, unfortunately, is poorly paid.

Looking for a simple work from home job? A typist at home is a remote vacancy that requires you to be attentive and able to type on a keyboard; you must admit there is nothing difficult about it. This is taken advantage of by scammers who understand that a lot of people are looking for an opportunity to earn extra money and publish vacancies for typing at home. Then they demand an advance payment, the so-called insurance premium, and, having received it, immediately disappear.
He will tell you:
- What is a typist?
- How to master a profession;
- How much can you earn and where to look for work (we are looking at sites with examples);
- What difficulties will you encounter (nuances of work, scammers);
- Where else can you earn money as a typist (let's look at 6 additional types of income!)
If you have had to retype documents (or any other written work) onto a computer, then my congratulations - you have almost mastered the profession of typing.
Its essence lies in the simple reprinting of text onto a computer. Source material may be in the form of scanned materials or handwritten manuscripts. You can work according to a free schedule, at any convenient time. That's it! And I said that there is nothing complicated here.
Typesetters are in demand from various publishers, who convert material into electronic form for publication. But you can often find one-time orders. I have seen how students, due to lack of time, ordered reprints of diplomas and other voluminous works for several thousand rubles.
The work is positioned as official, usually with employment and the conclusion of a contract. Therefore, the article will look at real vacancies for which you need to be able to (we will do this with you below).
VERY IMPORTANT: There are a lot of scammers in this area! It’s easy to stumble across them. Because of this, many underestimate this profession and speak negatively about it. I strongly recommend that you pay attention to the paragraph dedicated to this topic. I will show with my example how to distinguish a scammer and what you should never do.
Let's figure out what is required to master the profession of typist:
1 First of all, you must be literate and avoid mistakes (grammatical, punctuation, stylistic). Agree, you wouldn't want to receive paid material in which mistakes hurt the eyes. You can increase your literacy level not only by studying the rules, but also by reading books. This way you will learn new words, writing techniques and be able to put them into practice.
2 Basic PC knowledge. You must be able to use email and a browser.
3 Working with the editor.
Microsoft Word remains popular (and my favorite) (comes as a standard program for Windows). Convenient and easy to use, highlights errors, and has text auto-formatting. As part of this activity, you will have to format the material (divide it into paragraphs, formulas, tables). Word can format lists and paragraphs automatically, and there are special functions for tables and formulas.
Another popular editor is Google Docs. Work online, autosave after each phrase. You will need a Google account to work.
4 Punctuality, responsibility. You shouldn’t miss deadlines or put everything off until later, otherwise the customer’s trust in you will drop, which will lead to loss of work.
5 It is recommended to learn the “blind” typing method, i.e. Type quickly without looking at the keyboard. In the work of a typesetter, this is an important skill that affects earnings (you type faster, you earn more). I would like to recommend the Vse10 website (www.vse10.ru) - an online keyboard trainer with a lot of lessons. I often go there myself to hone my skills.
There are no special courses for mastering the profession. An excellent “training”, it seems to me, is to retype any book at hand. Try typing 2-3 pages before looking for a job.
What should I do?
What you have to do if you are going to work as a typist:
- Agree to work with the customer via email/phone;
- Receive material by mail;
- Reprint the text in electronic form. Additionally, they may be asked to draw up formulas, tables, lists, drawings;
- Send the result to the employer;
- Receive payment (to bank cards or electronic wallets).
Sounds easy, doesn't it? Now let’s take a closer look at what types of texts you have to work with. Here lies one of the pitfalls.
1 . You will mainly be working with this type of material as it is more difficult to disassemble. The difficulty depends on the person's handwriting. For example, I can parse this text without difficulty:
Here are more complicated examples:

And for dessert - handwritten text in a foreign language. Yes, such orders are also in demand, but this will require at least basic knowledge. At least to know what words look like
Payment depends on the complexity of recognition (for the last three examples you will receive more than for the first).
2 . The material will not cause problems, because... it is extremely clear. A couple of examples:
The pay is lower than for copying handwritten works, but the work is easier. In addition, there are special programs for text recognition, which you will learn about in a few lines.
3 Audio recording (transcription). Translation of audio recordings into text format. Nothing supernatural - we take headphones, turn on the recording, listen to the text and type at the same time.
A short summary. What affects payment:
- The more difficult it is to recognize the text, the higher the payment;
- The manuscript is valued more than the scanned material;
- Formulas, tables, equations, lists, pictures are rated higher than text.
About text recognition programs
Computer technology is constantly improving. I remember asking my father about 10 years ago, when he scanned the text in German and sat for a long time, translating, retyping. The question was: “Couldn’t you just copy it and put it into the translator?” He said, “Not yet.” And now you can.
Using special programs for text recognition, you can upload a picture, and it will produce the finished material in printed form. List of such programs:
- Abbyy FineReader. The first 30 days and 100 pages are free, then you need to buy the full version. Price from 7,000 to 39,000 rubles.
- CuneiForm. Free program that can be installed on your computer.
- Online OCR. Online converter, no need to download software.
Let's scan the above text about the filter and see what the programs produce:

We draw conclusions:
1 A typesetter can use programs, but if the material is scanned “perfectly” (pages are not folded, photos are not exposed). But in any case, you will spend time on editing (correcting errors made by the program during the recognition process);
2 Abbyy FineReader is the best software for text recognition, but it seems to me that it is advisable for companies and publishing houses to use it, and not for employees. The full version is paid, and its cost is quite high for one user.
Personally, it’s easier for me to retype text while looking at the screen, without any problems. This way it turns out faster and you spend less time on editing. In addition, editors recognize formulas, equations, and tables poorly.
Interesting but sad fact: The better the program works, the lower the demand for typists. Why hire a person, pay him, enter into an agreement with him, if you can just download the program? Of course, a person can better recognize clumsily written text on a piece of paper, but if technology becomes perfect, typists will not be in demand. But so far only a person can completely parse the text and arrange it beautifully!
We are looking for a job as a typist at home
Finding a job as a typist from home is not so easy. This is not for you, which literally flooded the Internet. I only found one specialized site for this profession. In other cases, you will have to take work on message boards and freelance exchanges. Let's look at everything in order.
Making a resume
An important part of finding a job as a typist is writing a resume. This is a document that describes in detail who and where you worked, what experience you have, what skills you have. Most job seekers find this stage difficult and get lost when writing their resume. But believe me, it's very simple!
This is the resume I came up with. I show you the most “tasty” part, which employers most often pay attention to:
Click to enlarge image
I focus on typing speed, because this is very important when working as a typist, and I describe my experience in this area (so far I only have one, but the professions are similar).
Think about your skills and work experience (even if it was a one-time part-time job). You can use your resume when applying for other jobs. Dedicate half an hour to this task - and it will become your “calling card” for a long time.
Don’t give up if you don’t have work experience – we all started somewhere at some point.
You will find all the information about working conditions, payment and other nuances on this page. The company also reminds that only scammers require transfers before starting cooperation. We will talk about this in more detail below.
The site has prices for work, and they may disappoint you:
Yes, not enough. But honestly. I was recently asked to do test typing work for 2,500 rubles, and this, not surprisingly, turned out to be a bait for scammers. So 10 rubles for printed text (remember that it is easiest to recognize) is a completely reasonable price. Also, the cost varies depending on the complexity (25/1000 per scanned text - also, in my opinion, a good payment).
Okay, how to get started? To do this, go below and find the feedback form. Filling example:
This is where the resume file I mentioned above comes in handy. You need to study the main page a little more to answer the security question. Applications are reviewed for a week, after which you may be hired. But will they accept it? One author is selected per week, so competition on the site is high.
After submitting your application, you will be redirected to the page with the “exam” (or follow the link https://nabor-texta.rf/udalennaya-rabota-nabor-teksta.html yourself):
Here you can express yourself, show your skills by simply retyping text from any book or writing an essay. I highly recommend doing this to increase your chances of getting hired. We save the text in Word and send it in the feedback form on the same page.
10 Don't confirm SMS. For example, a scammer may say that he sent you a text, but needs an SMS confirmation that will be sent to your phone. In this way, a criminal can steal your email/social media data. networks/wallets.
Remember! If you are asked to make any advance payment, these are 100% scammers! Never send money to anyone under any pretext (mostly they ask for an insurance premium, payment for a test work)! This is the most important sign that they want to deceive you.
Now let's move on to practice. It's much easier to fall into the trap of criminals than I thought.
Example 1
We look at suspicious ads:

What's alarming:
- Job requirements and conditions are written fluently and illiterately;
- High pay (47,000);
- Contains a link to a suspicious site.

At the bottom they ask you to fill in your contact information - full name and email, but how can you ask me about skills and experience? Out of curiosity, I filled it out, but did not indicate the details and saw the following:
Click to enlarge image
Bingo! Insurance premium! You can safely close the page. Once again, never make any advance payments; working as a typist does not require investment!
Example 2
In the previous example, the scammer uses another technique - the name of a well-known company (also takes its address). We google and find the real company website, which looks like this:
We are finally convinced by receiving a response from the site employees:
Conclusion: Don't be lazy! Basic Google queries will help you avoid scammers.
Advice: Never provide payment details at the job search stage. Personally, I'm afraid that my e-wallets will be hacked. It’s better to make sure that the person is not a scammer, work with him, and only then discuss payment options.
Example 3
Two offers from one company. Suspicious. Here are the descriptions of these vacancies:
It’s strange, the mail is the same, but the conditions and payment are different. Okay, we don't suspect anything and we're writing by email. A couple of hours later I receive this message:
Please note the “delicious” prices. To retype 12 pages is a 3-4 hour job, and what a payout! But the real juice awaits us below:
Click to enlarge image
Again contributions. By the way, when I tried to write to another address, I received exactly the same letter.
We enter these addresses into the search engine, we see:
Let's summarize: most of the vacancies and offers related to typing work at home are posted by scammers. Their task is to seduce you with a high salary, simple work that does not require training anywhere, and convenient conditions (working from home on a computer).
Don't be lazy to check ads and never send money, otherwise you won't see them. Fraudsters come up with very convincing stories to lure the last penny out of your pockets; it will be extremely difficult to find and punish them later.
Let's say we have a long-term job as a typist at home and a constant flow of orders. Let's calculate approximate earnings (take prices from typing-texta.ru). Let's assume a basic typing speed of 50 characters per minute and work 7 hours a day on weekdays.
The average payment for 1000 characters is 16 rubles. We get 3000 characters per hour, i.e. 48 rubles. Per day 336 rubles, per month (21 working days) – 7056 rubles. Actually a good result for permanent work from home.
Now imagine that we type 500 characters per minute (the result is achievable, I speak from personal experience). Per hour – 30,000 characters, i.e. 480 rubles! RUB 3,360 per day, RUB 70,560 per month. Cool, isn't it? This is text only. Graphs, formulas, tables are rated higher and will be a good addition to your overall earnings.
That is, you can earn from 7000 to 70,000 without leaving home. I excluded many factors (time to transcribe and edit the text, lack of work, illness, fatigue, various incidents) that would prevent such results from being achieved. Real earnings will be lower.
But, as you understand, it all depends on attentiveness and typing speed. Therefore, I strongly recommend mastering the touch typing method and increasing your typing speed. You can do this using the site vse10.ru (which I mentioned at the beginning), as well as any other keyboard simulator that will help you learn to touch-type.
Review of work
On the Internet, people speak negatively about the work of a typist, and the reason is obvious - they became victims of scammers, after which the desire to type text for money immediately disappeared. But I managed to find a person who found honest customers:
Typing is not a scam. It’s sad that people who once fell for scammers begin to think this way and throw mud at a good profession. In fact, there are companies and people who are willing to pay for typing without requiring any fees.
I searched for a job for a long time, and most often I encountered deception. But in the end I managed to find several people who sent me scanned texts. I handed in the work and received payment the next day. Unfortunately, the prices were very low (5-10 rubles per 1000 characters), so the desire to work quickly disappeared.
But working as a typist is not a scam. Just don't make any advance payments and everything will be fine. This income is not suitable for professional freelancers, but it is quite suitable for beginners. Good luck!

What else can a typist do?
For people who know how to type text on the keyboard of their computer, several more directions for making money are open. Let's look at them:
Generally speaking, this profession is called copywriting. The main difference from typing is that copywriting is a mental process that depends on the ability to process information and put it on paper, or more precisely in a word processor on a computer. We are not afraid of the strict definition, in fact it is nothing complicated!
– reprinting the text in your own words. They give you material, and you change it, transform it so that the output is a different text, but with the same meaning. This criterion is called uniqueness.
– creation of unique material. By studying multiple sources or drawing on your own experience, you should create your own article with a unique structure.
– the same as copywriting, but the purpose of the text is to sell/present something (directly or indirectly). Those. will need to be inserted into the article keys– words or phrases by which this text can be found. For example, “buy real estate in Moscow”, “buy a key for the game State of Decay”.
Popular text exchanges offering copywriter work:
Payment varies from 20 to 100 rubles. for 1000 characters without spaces (sbp), you can work with customers through the website or sell your articles (you determine the price, keys, topic, etc.).
I have been working as a copywriter for about 4 years, my earnings sometimes reach up to 40,000 rubles per month. Now my payment is 120 rubles. for 1000. The work is not difficult, I started without any special skills. And no, it didn’t take me 4 years to reach this figure - already at first I managed to receive 20,000 rubles. Now I can earn 500-1000 rubles a day.
Pros:
- A lot of work;
- No special skills required;
- Opportunity to find customers for long-term cooperation;
- Pay increases based on skill;
Cons:
- Required work with text. Check it in services for such parameters as uniqueness, water, spam, nausea. Don't be alarmed - these are simple terms that you can learn about from Google;
- At first it is difficult to get a well-paid job. Customer ratings and reviews play a key role. Therefore, first you will have to do the work for 15, 10 or even 5 rubles. for 1000 to get ratings, reviews and experience;
- Exchanges charge a commission when withdrawing funds. It feels good when you withdraw several thousand.
Very often we cannot cope with a large influx of orders. That's why we need help with typesetters. But we do not strive to offer permanent and well-paid work. After all, our prices are the lowest among competitors who offer similar services. We do not guarantee that if you send your resume, we will immediately give you the opportunity to earn money, but there is a chance to get a job
We never require you to transfer money
neither before (or after) cooperation. We are the only ones who transfer money!
