Copy and paste jobs are among the easiest work-from-home opportunities available. Everything you need to know is in the name itself \u2013 other than where to find such jobs, of course.<\/p><p>So if you\u2019re looking for an easy way to earn a supplemental income, look no further than the four 100% legitimate opportunities we\u2019ve found for you!<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a Copy and Paste Job?<\/h2><p>As mentioned in the introduction, the job title is pretty much all the explanation you need. When completing copy and paste jobs, simply copy the text content (usually from a provided database or content source) and paste it into the required forms.<\/p><p>This can mean taking a document and copying the information into a database, or vice versa. There are some variations, but that\u2019s about all there is to it.<\/p><p>It\u2019s an insanely easy task, especially with everything you need being provided. At the most, the only part of the job that can be time-consuming is loading times (for download, upload, and\/or access). Other than that, it\u2019s a task that can be completed very quickly (depending on how much information there is to copy-paste).<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Types_of_Copy_and_Paste_Jobs\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Types of Copy and Paste Jobs<\/h2><p>Copy and paste jobs generally fall into one of two broad categories: online and offline.<\/p><p>Online copy and paste jobs require you to copy information from a database (either available online or sent to you via email) directly onto the client\u2019s website. You might also be copying information into the database. Either way, you\u2019re doing all of the actual work while connected to the internet.<\/p><p>Offline jobs are the same, except you\u2019re sent a database file (usually as a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet) and asked to copy all the information into a Microsoft Word document.<\/p><p>Again, you might be asked to do it the other way around too, perhaps copying from a .txt file into an Excel spreadsheet so the company can upload it into their database after doing the necessary file conversion.<\/p><p>Either way, with offline copy and paste jobs, the only time you need to be online is when retrieving the data (typically via email), communicating with the client\/employer, and\/or uploading the finished product.<\/p><p>The one thing you should bear in mind is most copy and paste jobs come in the form of 30-day plans. Under a Starter plan, you might be expected to do a minimum of 1,500 tasks every month, for example.<\/p><p>Copy-paste jobs are rarely concerned with daily performance. So long as you fill or exceed your monthly quarter, the companies are happy.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Where_to_Find_Copy_and_Paste_Jobs\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Where to Find Copy and Paste Jobs<\/h2><p>Finding copy and paste jobs is really the only hard part of this job. If you do a quick Google search, you find dozens of ads very easily \u2013 but beware! Like all online work opportunities, the market is flooded with scams.<\/p><p>The copy and paste market might actually have more scams than legitimate opportunities. So for getting started, stick with these two resources \u2013 both have payment protection and will help prevent workers from getting scammed out of money owed for the work completed.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"1_Upwork\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>1. Upwork<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.upwork.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Upwork\u00a0<\/a>touts itself as the biggest freelancer platform online \u2013 and for good reason. When looking for genuine copy and paste job opportunities, you won\u2019t go wrong here.<\/p><p>It\u2019s 100% free to create a freelancer profile, which you need to fill out with details marketing yourself as a data entry clerk. Most of the copy and paste jobs on Upwork will be posted under the label of data entry (which is another work-from-home opportunity you can look into).<\/p><p>Jobs are posted on a feed, so you can look at the offers available and respond to those you\u2019re most interested in. Do be aware that applications cost a certain number of \u201cconnect\u201d points (usually two, but this can vary). Some jobs will be on an hourly basis, while others will be displayed as fixed rate.<\/p><p>There is a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/support.upwork.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/211062538-Freelancer-Service-Fees?flash_digest=f58a2edb59040e7b82b1eac8ea9dcc6d8e5de304\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sliding commission fee<\/a>\u00a0deducted from your pay, so take it into account when sending job proposals.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"2_Gurucom\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>2. Guru.com<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.guru.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guru\u00a0<\/a>is a great alternative that works on a very similar basis to Upwork. It\u2019s free to create a profile and requires you to respond to job postings with a proposal. Once again, some will work on an hourly rate, while others have per project (or per milestone) fixed rates.<\/p><p>Most copy and paste jobs on Guru will also be labeled under \u201cdata entry.\u201d This means there\u2019s a third option for payments, where clients offer a recurring weekly or monthly fee.<\/p><p>Guru initiated the bidding setup that Upwork has since adopted and adapted, whereby you get a certain number of free bids to use when responding to job postings.<\/p><p>The number of free bids will vary depending on your membership level (some have\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.guru.com\/help\/freelancer-help-center\/my-profiles\/membership-information\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">membership fees<\/a>\u00a0and varying commission rates).

It\u2019s always a good idea to follow as many opportunities as possible, especially when starting out and trying to find your first few clients. Be sure to take a look at these two opportunities as well.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"3_Craigslist\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>3. Craigslist<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/craigslist.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Craigslist<\/a>\u00a0can be a little touch and go, as there are an equal number of scams in relation to legitimate copy and paste job opportunities.<\/p><p>However, it does remain the most popular job classifieds platform online. As long as you follow their advice on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.craigslist.org\/about\/scams?lang=en&amp;cc=gb\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">avoiding and reporting scams<\/a>, you can successfully limit yourself to the legitimate postings.<\/p><p>You need to do a search for copy and paste jobs by selecting a city or state location (even though this type of work is 100% remote) before filling out the search bar.<\/p><p>Once you find a post meeting Craigslist\u2019s recommendations on identifying legitimate opportunities, hit the \u201cReply\u201d button above the listing to send an email.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"4_Facebook\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>4. Facebook<\/h3><p>You might be a little surprised to find\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0on our list, but the social media giant is actually a very good way of discovering legitimate work opportunities.<\/p><p>The options are nearly limitless. There are dozens of groups and pages where remote workers and companies or individual employers can connect to discuss work opportunities (including copy and paste jobs). You can also easily\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/search\/top\/?q=Copy+Paste+Jobs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">run a search<\/a>\u00a0for the keyphrase \u201ccopy and paste\u201d and view posts from all over Facebook.<\/p><p>While Facebook is cracking down on scams, you still need to exercise caution. Don\u2019t bother with anything that looks too good to be true, and don\u2019t be afraid to ask questions in groups to see if others have had any negative experiences with a client.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Copy_and_Paste_Job_Pros\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Copy and Paste Job Pros<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Very easy work<\/li><li>Not at all time-consuming \u2013 using the starter plan example from earlier, you can easily fill your monthly quota in a few hours or days<\/li><li>Ability to complete tasks from anywhere in the world \u2013 your home, campus, even a coffee shop<\/li><li>Depending on where you find work and how much you do, the pay for copy and paste jobs can be very decent<\/li><li>There are no special skills or past experience requirements (with the exception of higher paying copy and paste jobs labeled as data entry)<\/li><\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Copy_and_Paste_Job_Cons\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Copy and Paste Job Cons<\/h2><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It can be difficult to find genuine copy and paste job opportunities, even using the resources we\u2019ve provide.<\/li><li>The market is overrun with scams that require you to pay a joining fee but never provide work (or simply never pay)<\/li><li>There\u2019s no margin for error, so even though it\u2019s a very easy job, you need to be careful you\u2019re pasting information into the correct fields<\/li><\/ul><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Copy_and_Paste_Job_FAQs\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Copy and Paste Job FAQs<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Do_I_Need_to_Have_More_Knowledge_for_Joining_Copy-Paste_Work\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Do I Need to Have More Knowledge for Joining Copy-Paste Work?<\/h3><p>Absolutely not. In fact, most copy and paste jobs don\u2019t even care whether you completed high school, let alone college! As long as you speak English, have a computer to work from (or access to one), and know how to use the ctrl+c and ctrl+v copy-paste keyboard shortcuts, you\u2019re good to go.<\/p><p>The only exception are copy-paste jobs posted as data entry, offering higher pay rates.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Is_There_Any_Age_Restriction_for_Starting_With_This_Type_of_Work\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Is There Any Age Restriction for Starting With This Type of Work?<\/h3><p>While individual platforms and clients might have age restrictions in place, these generally comply with the legal requirement that remote workers be at least 18 years old. For the most part, this has more to do with child protection legislation than anything else.<\/p><p>However, as long as any clients you connect with on Facebook are okay with your age and your legal guardian(s) give the go-ahead, you could potentially get started at age 16.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"How_Much_Do_Copy_and_Paste_Jobs_Pay\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>How Much Do Copy and Paste Jobs Pay?<\/h3><p>The pay rate varies from platform to platform, as well as from one employer to the next.

Don\u2019t Use eBay (You Make Less)<\/h3><p>eBay is a popular platform for selling almost anything that can be legally bought or sold. But there are a couple of reasons why using eBay for selling your gift cards is a bad idea.<\/p><p>First and foremost: buyers are looking for a bargain. As mentioned earlier, you\u2019re highly unlikely to get the full gift card balance when selling anyway, but especially on eBay.<\/p><p>And then there\u2019s yet again the issue of fees. These get complicated very quickly, so here\u2019s a brief introduction:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Insertion fees (nonrefundable)<\/li><li>Listing option fees<\/li><li>Final Value fees<\/li><\/ul><p>It\u2019s the last one that really cuts into your purchase value. How eBay determines their Final Value fee is something of a mystery, but expect to pay in the region of 12% of the final sale price (if sold for up to $50) plus an extra 6% on anything above that initial $50.<\/p><p>And then you still need to pay transaction fees for whatever payment method you and the buyer use. All told, that $50 gift card sold for $40 (optimistic hypothetical) will only put about $33 in your pocket at most.<\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dummies.com\/business\/online-business\/ebay\/what-does-it-cost-you-to-sell-on-ebay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more about eBay fees here.<\/a><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"3_Make_Sure_Customer_Service_Is_Available\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>3. Make Sure Customer Service Is Available<\/h3><p>This might seem like a no-brainer, but whatever platform you sell your unwanted gift cards on should have customer service available for you and the buyer. If there are any disputes regarding the sale, customer service can help you find a resolution.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"4_Trading_Might_Be_Most_Profitable\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>4. Trading Might Be Most Profitable<\/h3><p>At the end of the day, selling your gift cards online or locally (we\u2019ll cover both options) is one way to go about it. Another way is to trade them instead \u2013 say, a $50 Starbucks gift card for a $50 Amazon gift card.<\/p><p>You aren\u2019t always guaranteed to get equal value, but the likelihood is substantially higher. Just be sure to request proof that the advertised card balance is legitimate (and be prepared to offer equal proof) to avoid getting ripped off.<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Best_Websites_to_Sell_Gift_Cards_Online\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Best Websites to Sell Gift Cards Online<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Cardpool\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Cardpool<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardpool.com\/sell-gift-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cardpool<\/a>\u00a0is easily the most popular platform for selling unwanted gift cards online. It\u2019s one of the most-trusted and best-known, and you can typically get up to 92% of the card\u2019s balance. This makes it easily the most profitable platform to sell gift cards on.<\/p><p>All you need to do is visit their website, create a listing for your gift card, and accept the highest offer. Once Cardpool receives the card, you\u2019ll get paid via mailed check within 1 business day.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"CardCash\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>CardCash<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardcash.com\/sell-gift-cards\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CardCash<\/a>\u00a0is another popular, insanely easy way to sell gift cards for cash online.<\/p><p>What makes the platform so attractive is you aren\u2019t limited to gift cards with the full, original value attached. If you already used the card but there\u2019s still some purchasing power loaded (for example, a $50 gift card with a $25 balance remaining), you can still create a listing.<\/p><p>You also have a few different options: trade for a gift card you actually want\/need, or get paid via check, direct deposit, or PayPal (again, don\u2019t opt for PayPal!) within 2 business days of approval.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"CardKangaroo\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>CardKangaroo<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cardkangaroo.com\/sell-gift-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CardKangaroo<\/a>\u00a0cuts out some of the typical expenses of selling gift cards online by paying for shipping. Once you match your card to their list of websites and receive an offer (up to 92% of the card\u2019s balance value), CardKangaroo will email you a shipping label.<\/p><p>Mailed check is selected as the default payment method, but if you prefer speed over value, you can also opt to get paid via PayPal.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"ClipKard\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>ClipKard<\/h3><p>ClipKard offers slightly less value than others on our list with a maximum offer of up to 90.6% of the balance value. However, they\u2019ve been praised online as one of the easiest and most reliable ways to sell gift cards.<\/p><p>One thing to watch out for is ClipKard enforces a 60-day guarantee on all purchases. Make sure the gift card you\u2019re selling doesn\u2019t expire within the next 2 months to avoid someone taking unfair advantage of this guarantee if they neglect to use the card by then.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Raise\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Raise<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raise.com\/sell-gift-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Raise<\/a>\u00a0is certainly a very popular online platform for selling gift cards, having been featured favorably by the likes of Time Magazine, USA Today, NBC News, and ABC News.<\/p><p>There are a few things worth mentioning, though: Raise operates in a manner similar to eBay. You list your card for sale and wait for someone to make an offer, rather than having the platform purchase and resell it for you.<\/p><p>This means it can take longer for your gift card to get sold \u2013 and in addition to any PayPal or direct deposit fees, Raise also charges 12% commission.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Gift_Card_Granny\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Gift Card Granny<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.giftcardgranny.com\/sell-a-gift-card\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Gift Card Granny<\/a>\u00a0is easily one of the best platforms for selling gift cards online.<\/p><p>You have 3 options:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Sell It Now \u2013 search for the brand\/store, list your gift card\u2019s balance, and accept the highest offer (typically up to 92%) (get paid within a few days).<\/li><li>Name Your Price \u2013 follow the same steps as above, but list your own price and wait for someone to accept. This takes longer, but you can potentially get more than 92%.<\/li><li>Trade In \u2013 as the name implies, this option allows you to swap your unwanted gift card for one you actually want\/need. As mentioned earlier, this is typically the best way to get the highest value.<\/li><\/ul><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"GiftCardSwapping\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>GiftCardSwapping<\/h3><p>As the name suggests,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.giftcardswapping.com\/selling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GiftCardSwapping<\/a>\u00a0is a platform primarily geared toward trading gift cards rather than selling them. In fact, you\u2019d be best to\u00a0<em>never<\/em>\u00a0to try selling on this site, as you\u2019ll only get a maximum of 75% of the balance value \u2013 plus the fees.<\/p><p>But trading is absolutely free (and you get much higher value), making it one of the best platforms for doing so.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"Monster_Gift_Card\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>Monster Gift Card<\/h3><p>If your gift card value is between $10 and $200 for a major retailer,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/monstergiftcard.com\/page.php?page_id=171\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Monster Gift Card<\/a>\u00a0is worth checking out.

And there are no Gameflip fees either \u2013 you get the full selling price, minus any transaction fees charged by your method of payment.<\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span id=\"QuickCashMi\" class=\"ez-toc-section\"><\/span>QuickCashMi<\/h3><p><a href=\"https:\/\/quickcashmi.com\/buy\/sell-my-gift-cards\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">QuickCashMi<\/a>\u00a0is rather oddly named, as it can be one of the slowest ways to get paid for your gift card. But that does depend on which of their 3 methods you opt for:<\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In-Person \u2013 visit one of QuickCashMi\u2019s physical locations, hand your gift card in at the counter, and get paid instant cash\u2026 as long as you\u2019re willing to accept exceptionally low value.<\/li><li>Redeem Online \u2013 sell your gift card online by providing its code to the buyer and receive more cash than you would in-person.
