I can type quickly and accurately so I became a self-employed typist. My typing abilities are adequate and improving with each day I spend working from home. I don’t want to be the fastest or the best, I just want to enter data for a living. I stopped trying to find an online data entry position long ago. Finding a legitimate job on the internet is similar to trying to find a small stone in a packet of Coco Pops, just about impossible. If you want to do clerical work from the comfort of your own home you’d be better off just manufacturing your own position from scratch.

More data entry clerks work from home now than back in the 1930s. The trend can be attributed to the rise in popularity of the internet and the World Wide Web. Clerical work was much harder to do from the comfort of your own home prior to the online digital delivery of data. There was no point working from home back in the old days because home-based data entry operators would’ve had to travel great distances just to obtain the data that needed to be entered. It made more sense for them to be based at the source of the data.

When I was searching the internet for an online data entry job I got caught up in an endless whirlpool of wild goose chases and broken promises. Every time I thought I found a site that would provide some answers, I ended up with more questions then I started with. Finding a legitimate data entry job may be more difficult than locating Noah’s ark or the Holy Grail, with your eyes blindfolded and your ankles tied together. The only way I was able to proceed was to use my imagination to come up with the data, so I could enter it and make some money off my own bat.

I’m looking forward to the day when I can log on to my bank account and watch the balance rise like the level of the Bellinger River after 2 straight days of solid rain. When that day comes I will have to be careful not to get caught up in the moment. Every data entry operator knows how important it is to take one day at a time. If you stop typing for an hour while your watching the product of your income generating efforts manifest themselves, your job will suffer and eventually effect the bottom line adversely, to say the very least.

Is there any truth in the rumour that the federal government will be handing out typewriters to the poor? My internet connection has been a source of constant frustration lately, making me wonder about reverting to the old ways. Imagine being a data entry operator working from home and having to type your articles manually, print them off and mail to some else to post for you. The whole idea of getting an online job is having the convenience of not having to move from the ergonomic chair in front of your PC. I’m not the happiest data entry clerk in Australia at the moment!

Many years ago my father sat me on his knee and he told me that work can be fun. Why would anyone lie to a child? I think it probably isn’t healthy to enjoy your job too much, but wouldn’t it be good to be able to tolerate your employment situation for about eight hours a day? I wish I had a dollar for every bit of data I’ve entered over the last couple of years. I’d be rich! I don’t hate my data entry position but I would be lying if I ever said it was fun. If you enjoyed working too much you wouldn’t do anything else, and that’s the risk you take when you decide to work from home.

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!

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 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.

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.
