Your Job Is Boring

Sep 102008

Most people are unhappy with their current employment situation. Do you think your job is boring? Mine is. Everyone dreams of becoming a data entry operator and working from home, thinking the work is easy and glamorous…..but they’re wrong. The average individual believes that typing for a living would be the ideal way to earn money but they don’t understand how much hard work is involved in order to become an overnight success. I blame the media for glorifying home based clerical jobs, portraying them in an unrealistically flattering manner.

Not Just Any Tuesday

Today’s not just any Tuesday. It’s international data entry day! Well….it’s not really but wouldn’t it be great if it was? It would be a day set aside for remembering all of the professional typists who came before me and all of those brave souls among us who decided to work from home. Where would be without those tireless employees entering data from nine to five, seven days a week, fifty two weeks a year, ten years a decade, etc? No, I don’t know either. Let’s stand and salute those keyboard jockeys and remember the ones who went to work one morning but never came home.

Getting Off The Treadmill

Sep 082008

I thought about getting off the treadmill about 10 years before I actually took the plunge and did it. Making the decision to leave my last job was hard but it had to be done in order for me to start my own business independently. I’d had enough of entering data for someone else. I wanted to enter data that meant something to me and I wanted to enter it at my own pace and on my own terms. Legitimate data entry jobs are hard to find on the internet so I was basically forced to go it alone. Being your own employer can be challenging sometimes but I’m enjoying the experience.

Achieving Goals For Keeps

Sep 072008

I’ve always struggled to stick to a plan but I know things have to change in that department if I’m to be successful in my chosen field. The first thing I need to do is work out exactly where I want to be in one year and then figure out the steps I need to take in order to make that a reality. At the moment my only goal is to write an article or blog post every day and publish it on this website. I’ve managed to do that for over 50 days in a row so I’m happy with my efforts so far. I can safely say that I’m working as a data entry clerk from the comfort of my own home, but is that enough?

Working For The Man

I got sick and tired of working for the man a long time ago. That doesn’t mean I stopped doing it straight away though. I was worried about leaving a secure job for the uncertainty of the alternative. I didn’t realise then that I would end up being one of the best looking data entry operators on the internet. Nor did I know how valuable my typing skills would eventually become, or how naturally being my own boss would come to me. All in all I’m happy with what I’ve achieved since going solo in my data entry business but I can’t wait till I start getting paid!

Old Typists Never Die

Sep 052008

I’m forty years old but my typing skills are still improving. The older you get, the harder it becomes for you to gain employment. It becomes more and more difficult to convince a prospective employer to hire you based on your interview skills alone. It doesn’t seem to matter how fat your resume is or how compelling your references are, they judge you immediately, based on how many lines you have on your face. It is this sort of prejudice in the workplace that led me to begin my data entry business. Old typists never die, they just become their own boss and work from home!

Work From Home Clerk

Sep 042008

Who wouldn’t want to work from home? Clerk related activities, or clerical work as I call them, are easy to do and pay quite handsomely. Of course you have to find the job in order to start performing it and that is the difficult part. I understand that not everyone is as resourceful as me and some may struggle to start their own data entry business from home. It’s also important to remember that I am not really much of an authority on this subject insofar as I’m just typing blog posts every day to let you know how I feel about the whole home based data entry industry.

Virtual Assistant

I call myself a data entry operator but I guess you could call me a virtual assistant if you wanted to. The word virtual just refers to the fact that I work online from home, and although I don’t assist anyone as such, I do assist myself by earning money so I can pay the rent and buy food. Working in a job based on the internet can be difficult insofar as it sometimes seems fake or surreal. Without leaving my house I enter data from my home office and, miraculously, my pay ends up in my bank account. I think my business is a really magical career opportunity.

Data Entry Syndrome

Sep 022008

I’ve got sore finger tips from typing. My eyes are red from staring into my computer monitor all day every day. My back aches because my chair is not quite up to scratch when it comes to occupational health and safety requirements. These are all symptoms of Data Entry Syndrome. I think I feel more wrecked at the end of the day now then when I drove forklifts for a living back in Sydney. I seriously need to make some changes around my home office if I want to succeed in my own home based data entry enterprise.

Workaholics Anonymous

I can’t stop working. I seem to be staying up later every night. I’m typing articles until the wee hours of the morning and waking up a little worst for wear the next day. Is there any such thing as workaholics anonymous? If there is, I think I should book myself a seat straight away! I bet the whole room would be jam-packed with lonely data entry clerks who work from home. The scariest thing is, I can’t think of anything I’d rather be doing than composing blog posts, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There is just so much data to enter and so little time.
