So…there goes another Christmas and New Years. The time has come to make the goals known as resolutions. I’d like to be able to remember 2009 as the year I finally made it as a data entry operator. I don’t want to be rich and famous but I would like to be able to make enough money working from home to be able to comfortably pay the rent and buy groceries. Is that too much to ask? The hard part, as always, is finding data to enter and the employer to pay. Finding the answer to the data entry conundrum has become my life’s work.

As I’ve mentioned a thousand times before, I make up every word of what I write in these blog posts and call myself a data entry operator as a result. It would be so much easier if someone could provide me the data. The energy it takes to say the same thing over and over again in different ways is more draining then you could possibly imagine. When I publishing an article every day it almost drove me mad in the end. That’s why I had this short break after Christmas. When I say Christmas I really mean the holiday season, of course.

Australia is home to one of the most handsome data entry operators in the world…..me, but that’s old news. I play guitar and I find that typing regularly helps to improve my dexterity and hand eye coordination. The skills you use when working can invariably crossover to other aspects of your life. I could never work in a job that didn’t have some sort of positive impact on my life in some shape or form. If entering data in Australia has taught me anything, it has taught me to be patient and to keep my eyes on the prize.

I can take a break whenever I want and I can eat snacks all day. It is obviously important that I get the job done and maintain a high standard of workmanship at all times. It is equally important to ensure I don’t compromise when it comes to the quality of the data I choose to enter. My imagination seems to know no bounds so I think I will be performing data entry from home for the foreseeable future at least. I’d rather be working from home than commuting to some stupid job I don’t even want to do!

I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to my fans. I feel as if I have let you down on a very fundamental level. I’m terribly sorry. Please forgive me. Maintaining the level of data I was entering was always going to be hard but I truly believed I could do it. By writing prolifically I thought I would become the envy of all other data entry operators in Australia and around the world. I don’t know if I’ll be able to perform data entry from home for much longer but I’m going to give it my best shot.

I bet I’m the only data entry operator in Australia who makes up his own data to enter. Not only was it a brave move on my part but is was also bold and daring. I’m not one to take a backward step when it comes to matters of employment and when the opportunity to work from home presented itself I grabbed hold of it very tightly with both hands and I haven’t let it go. Everybody has a different approach when it comes to entering data and I’m no exception. There isn’t a data entry operator alive or dead who would argue with that!

When I chose to be involved in a home based career I was blissfully unaware of the risks and pitfalls that would eventually present themselves. How you deal with setbacks defines you as a business owner and, as most data entry operators know, dealing with setbacks can be a daily occurrence. My favoured method is to use the ‘ignore it and it will go away approach’ which has kept me in good stead up until this point. People who enter data for a living tend have an innate ability to shift focus one problem to another in the blink of an eye. What was I talking about?

The more data I enter the more I feel like a professional data entry operator. I feel sorry for other typists who spend their days and nights scouring the internet for part time online jobs. Some people are starting to think that earning a living and working from home don’t mix. That may sound a little contradicting but you’ll know what I mean when you get to my level. You don’t write 131 blog posts in 131 days and not learn a thing or two about being a home based data entry operator. There are some days I learn things I didn’t even want to know!

Every new day presents me with a whole new wealth of challenges and I feel compelled to overcome them and succeed. The occupation I created for myself allows me to work from home and I’m so proud of myself for building such a sustainable career. The life of a professional data entry operator is full of surprises and opportunities. I’d recommend entering data to anyone willing to listen. All you need are nimble fingers and an overactive imagination and you too could be riding the gravy train all the way to wealthy town.

I don’t understand how someone who has gone to an enormous amount of effort setting up a home based data entry business, could throw it all away for the instant gratification involved in getting a part time job. When you think of all of the clerks stuck in their stuffy offices, typing to the beat of the ticking clock, you have to admire their tenacity and will to succeed. I’m a data entry operator working from home and I love putting in a full days work. I don’t want to clock off four hours after I start. What could I possibly achieve in such a short space of time?

The only evening work I’ve done was as a shelf stacker in a supermarket. The pay was dreadful so I lasted about two weeks and hated every second I was there. I still hate the smell of supermarkets to this day. Being a home based data entry operator is far more rewarding and less stressful as well. I am my own boss so I don’t have unreasonable and unrealistic deadlines to meet. I’d much rather work from home during the day then drive to Woolworths at Bankstown Square and slave away at night. I’m so glad those days are gone.
