The only way I could be more satisfied with the occupation I created, is if it earned me a lot more money than it does. The key to being successful as a home based data entry clerk is persistence and patience. You can’t expect to be the world’s most rewarded typist over night and that’s something that a lot of up and coming young data entry operators don’t understand. They know they want to work at home but they don’t really know how to go about setting up their own enterprise or how to maintain it once it’s up and running.

I’m pretty fussy when it comes to when and where I’ll work. I don’t want a part time job and I don’t want to be working in the evenings. I don’t want to drive to my place of employment; I want to wake up there. My frustration at not being able to find a legitimate home based job on the internet led me to create my own occupation and I chose being a data entry operator for one very good reason. I can type quickly and accurately so it seemed like the most logical choice I could make at the time. Entering data may not be everyone’s cup of tea but it sure is mine.

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.

I have a lot of respect for shift workers but I think they’re all crazy on so many levels. Day time is for employment and night time is for partying. If you work from home you can also party during the day as long as you complete all of the tasks you’ve set yourself. I don’t know many data entry operators who spend much time attending parties. They’re all nerds, geeks and dorks. That could be a bit of an over generalisation but you get the picture, don’t you? It’s almost 5:30 in the afternoon and I’m ready for bed.

A lot of individuals ask me why I work from home and most of the time I struggle to come up with a satisfactory answer. I guess the main reason is because I don’t like working for other people. Being told what to do just isn’t my bag I’m afraid. Starting my own data entry business from home was the best thing I’ve done so far and I plan to soldier on, making my enterprise the best of its kind in the known universe and beyond. I just have to get organised, get up early and get some exercise. That way I can avoid entering data in the evening and that would be great.
