The major companies are always on the lookout for new young guns when it comes to their typing pools. Red hot typing clerks gather every year in a showdown to showcase the best data entry talent in Australia. Competition is fierce and fought over four gruelling weeks in an intense round robin format. There is nothing more exciting than the thought of data entry operators typing to the death. These amazing cyber galactic warriors are relentless in their quest for bragging rights and the crystal trophy shaped like an ergonomic qwerty keyboard.

Last years winner was remembered for several weeks after the tournament and went on to start his own data entry business online. If the site of torn finger flesh and bloody keyboard keys excites you then I suggest you head on down and take a look. This is hardcore typing action at its most brutal and although there can only be one winner, no one goes away empty handed. Every single competitor truly believes that what doesn’t kill them will most certainly make them stronger. Can you see how exciting data entry work can be?

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!

Having said all that, I don’t know what else I could possibly do with my time. I’d hate to have to start searching for a legitimate internet job again. That turned out to be an utter waste of time and energy. What do old data entry operators do once they’ve ceased entering data for a living? Do they keep typing in their spare time or do they refuse to type point blank? Oh, bugger it, I may as well keep doing it for a little while longer. As long as there’s data to enter I might as well enter it. I’ve got nothing better to do!

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!

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.

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?

I literally squandered two years of my life fantasising about getting a job on the internet. In the end I created my own data entry position out of nothing, and the rest is history or will be eventually. Legitimate online typing jobs are few and far between but don’t let that stop you from spending hour upon hour scouring the world wide web for the easy way out. I wanted to work from home more than anything else on Earth so I bit the bullet and made my dreams come true. It doesn’t have to be a data entry job either, it could be a job driving a garbage truck.

It was never my intention to use this blog to ridicule others and that is the main reason I don’t. Some people should try and get their own house in order before they start putting their noses into other people’s business. Just because I work from home as a data entry operator doesn’t mean I don’t have feelings too. Sometimes I may act irresponsibly or unprofessionally but who cares? Not me. The only reason I post to this blog is to practice my typing and data entry skills. Those of you who say my online business is not legitimate need to look a little closer to home (or not).

A more positive way of looking at my situation would be to highlight the fact that every individual and that includes data entry operators, is a building block helping to hold society together. Without me the whole fabric of civilisation would tumble down like a rogue wave crashing to shore. Working from home has finally affected my faculties. Have I given up my sanity for the sake of some stupid data entry job? Was I ever really in contention for the role of Australia’s most handsome typist? What’s to become of me now? Not that it matters.
