Online Data Entry Jobs

Online data entry jobs are scarce, but not unheard of in this day and age of the
computer and internet.
Before applying for any job you may find , you'll want to make sure your skills
and experience meet the qualifications requested. Yes...even data entry jobs
have requirements at times. It's not eating bon bons, while you watch soap
operas and type leisurely! I swear...I get emails from people wanting to make
$40,000 a year watching TV at home, working part time.....typing some "stuff".
Good luck with that!
Now for the rest of us....that are in reality. I suggest getting real with your
skills and your home office.
Having the properly equipped home office will be important too. Your potential
employer will want to know that you are serious, professional and qualified.
Having a good computer, faxing capabilities, remote access to your computer in
case you need it and keeping your computer free of spyware would be the bare
minimums in my opinion.
Absolutely get yourself one of the great computer based faxing services. Try one
out....the trials are free. If you decide to keep it - then there is a low
monthly fee. This way you're not having to go out and buy a piece of equipment,
ink, paper...etc. Computer faxing is the way to go. It's too easy. I use
RingCentral . I've always
gotten good service - and I pay less than $8 a month for their fax service. The
30 day trial is totally free . I suggest just signing up for it and trying it. At least you can get an idea
of what it's like to use an online fax service. Consider it a little training at
no cost! There is no obligation with
RingCentral - but it might be worth
looking into. I use it almost every day for real estate stuff.
I even have my 800# through RingCentral. Yep...just lil ole
me...and I have an 800#! You can get your own
Toll Free or Local Number with
voicemail for as low as $9.99 per month.
These are steps that not only make your home office more efficient and qualified
- it also helps give polish and professionalism to your portfolio!
Go after any data entry job you find just as you would a job outside the home.
Have a classy, professional and CURRENT resume with a personalized cover let to
match! If you don't have a clue where to begin on updating your resume or
writing one for the first time - don't fret. There are many services out there
and helpful tips. See my section titled
Resumes 101 to get started.
Too many times people go after online jobs unprofessionally. If you really want the job, if you really need the
income.....then don't respond to a job position with an email saying...."Yeah...
I'd like more info on this job."
NO!
Sending an email like that (even if you're qualified) and another person
sends a nice resume and a personal cover letter that states their genuine
interest and why they'd be the best candidate --then guess what.....you just
lost your chance!
Why do I stress this so much??I know from experience as being the person looking for work and being the person doing the hiring. Some of the emails I've received when
looking for a proofreader were filled with typos, no resume and asking about
what the pay was! I didn't even respond to that type of email.
The second part of the process is looking at the individual's qualifications. If
I get a
cover letter with a typo in it and I'm hiring a proofreader....well -
you can guess how that looks. Don't waste your time or an employers time if you
truly do not meet their qualifications or experience guidelines.
Your resume is YOU. Are you a crumpled up piece of paper with stains on it, or
are you a pristine, clearly written, ambitious piece of linen paper that wants
to get noticed?
Finding online data entry jobs?
The internet is filled with job boards and job information/posting sites.
Each week when I research for my newsletter I search all of these boards.
Monster.com:
Free Job Search Emails and Resume Posting
Job.com
Beyond: Free Job Seeker Tools
Keep all links for your job search in your favorites folder on your computer.
That way you aren't hunting them each time you do a search. Many of them have an
automatic email service that will email any jobs to you each day or week for the
criteria you set!
You might try these sites for positions as well...

I have a HUGE list of online job sites that I've created over the years. You can
get more info on it here:

The Money Making Mommy weekly newsletter always has about 6-12 telecommuting
jobs in it each week. This newsletter is free and can be subscribed to here:

Sometimes I get emails from people all bent out of shape that some jobs ads "ask
for money". First off is it an actual "job ad"?? Is it from a company like Sears
or Nextel or Microsoft and they are asking you to pay to be an employee?
That's wrong.
But if the person is asking for a membership fee to information of job listings,
or a product to help you create your own business or a fee for a start up kit
(think Avon, Discovery Toys, Tupperware) then that is a whole different ball
game. Remember... there is NO free lunch. If you don't want to pay someone for
the information or kit or whatever it is -- then do the work and create it for
yourself. If it's worthwhile -- then sell the information to others at a
reasonable price and you've created your own JOB!
Also.... look into the
transcription job area or the
writing
area. Even
online
proofreading is becoming huge and I know many that have earned
doing it. Almost all jobs in these areas will require samples of your work or
some type of testing to rate your skill level. Be prepared for this.
Sometimes it can take months, if not years to land the dream job you want. Being
ready with a great resume, keeping your skills current and searching daily is
certainly the most positive move in that direction!
If you seem to be hitting obstacle after obstacle finding an online data entry
job - don't get too discouraged. Many other avenues are opening up for people to
earn at home. Telecommuting is becoming more and more acceptable. Look around
your own community for ideas.
Some folks are looking into the
digital camera scene and learning
how to earn using their cameras. Digital cameras are very affordable now. This
might be something that interests you, if
photography is a passion.
Others are finding success learning the ins and outs of
writing on the internet. Blogging
for blog owners and writing articles is becoming a steady way to earn cash.
A recent data entry opportunity is really starting to earn a nice paycheck for
me. Check out my latest find, and see if it's a fit for you too!
