I was so naïve when I first decided I wanted to work from home I thought I’d be able to do a Google search, find a legitimate online job site and have a free data entry kit mailed to my door. I was such a fool. It takes a lot more than just impressive typing skills to get an internet based position these days. You have to be adept at sorting through scams and other shady material in order to find your pot of gold at the end of the proverbial vocational rainbow. Data entry operators aren’t usually perceived as being the sharpest tools in the shed so avoiding heartache doesn’t necessarily come naturally to them.
