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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

If you can get employed in any position that entails some sort of data entry component, you are bound to be involved in a joyful job. What could possible make anyone happier than typing non-stop for eight or more hours a day. Imagine mindlessly tapping away on a computer keyboard until your fingertips hurt. Oh, the joy! I’ve known some data entry clerks that prefer to work in the evening on a part-time basis, but I like to know that the sun is shining while I’m sitting in a cold, dark room entering data like a will-o’-the-wisp.

I have to be careful of overachieving when it comes to my new business venture. If I do too much data entry from home and become too successful I will seriously have to consider downsizing myself. It’s hard when you’re as good as I am to know when to stop. When I’m typing away in my basement, in front of my computer, I get into the zone and nothing can stop me as I type like the wind. The only problem with downsizing is the fact that I’m my only employee, so if I fired myself there would be no one left to enter the data that so desperately needs to be entered.

Surprise, surprise, surprise, it’s Sunday morning and I’m sitting in front of my computer typing my life away. I’m finding it harder and harder to live up to my self-proclaimed title of Australia’s most handsome, home-based data entry clerk. I will soldier on though. One day I will hit the big time and be famous on the international data entry circuit. Everyone will think I’m an overnight success without seeing the years of hard work behind the scenes. It can be easy to be overlooked by people when you work from home. That’s why I always wear a fluorescent vest when I go to the shops.

I think it’s important to reduce the amount of distractions in the workplace if you want to run a successful online data entry business. The chance of office relationships getting in the way are greatly reduced once you’ve made the decision to work alone. Being attracted to other data entry clerks in your general vicinity can cloud your judgement and inspire shoddy workmanship. If you are the only person typing in your office then you don’t ever run the risk of that happening and your production values will skyrocket as a result.

I went straight from being a forklift driver to being a home-based data entry clerk. As a result I sometimes struggle to make the simplest administrative decisions. I have not had any formal training in administration and probably lack the most rudimentary skills needed to be successful in this field. Wanting to work from home led me to pursue my dream of being the best data entry clerk in Australia, but my decision to establish my own business online may very well have been a bit hasty. OMG, what have I done?
