I wonder how many people are performing data entry around Australia. There must be hundreds of individuals and teams working from home as typists or virtual office clerks. I imagine most of them would be involved in part time jobs while a lucky handful would be typing fulltime. Australia is the best country on Earth to be a home-based data entry operator and I’m not just saying that because I’m an Australian entering data for a living. It would be interesting to learn how each and every one of them found legitimate work on the internet.

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!

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.

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?

Everyone knows it’s a woman’s prerogative to change her mind. I’m not a woman but I reserve the right to back flip occasionally. I really feel sorry for anyone looking for an internet based job at the moment. Trying to find a part time data entry job must be like looking for a raisin in a bucketful of cricket heads. Sometimes when I’m entering data it feels like I’m trying to push a square peg through a round hole but sometimes it just flows like a river to the sea. Someone asked me recently if I’d prefer to work full time down in the mines or part time as a data entry operator. I smiled coyly and told them the latter appealed more.
