Data Entry Jobs Online In A Nutshell - How You Can Find The Real Deal

By Tasha Franklin 

Online data entry jobs are very rare. My suggestion, go to an online job listing site. This is the best way to find the real deal. Some of these sites are free and some will charge you a registration fee for joining. With some, not only can you search out jobs you're interested in, but you can also verify whether or not the employer is legit. Some post feedback and employer stats for each listing. This is so important when you're trying to sort through all the crap. If you're really serious about an online job such as data entry, take the time and register at a few of these websites.
Some of these websites will require you to build a profile when you sign up. This gives you the opportunity to showcase your qualifications and your work experience. Some of the listing will require a skills test of some sort, which you generally have to pay for, but they speak volumes on your ability. For example, most data entry jobs require that you have exceptional typing skills, and therefore will require a typing test.
You should apply for these data entry jobs just like you would apply for any other job outside the home. Okay, so you don't necessarily need to wear a dress or a suit, but don't sell yourself short either. Include a professional looking resume and/or portfolio. If you're not sure how to create a resume or portfolio, there are tons of websites out there with helpful hints and templates to get you started. Make sure you read clearly what the qualifications and requirements are for a specific job, and be honest. If you don't have them, don't waste your time or the employer's time applying for the job. Most data entry jobs can be found listed under administration support, or clerical.
They are usually task specific, such as compiling email addresses, or public contact information. Some are promotional, and may include submitting information to coupon sites, or forum sites. Some require specific skills, or knowledge of specific programs, such as Excel or Word. If it's knowledge of a particular program that's standing in your way, then depending on how bad you want the job, familiarize yourself with it. I would also suggest that you make sure that your home office is equipped properly. Having remote access to your computer and keeping it free of spyware is generally a good idea and worth listing in your profile. If the employer requires certain business software, such as a computer based faxing service. You can find these services for as low as $8 a month.
In conclusion, finding a legitimate data entry job online is possible, you just have to know where to look. You must have the right mindset, nothing is easy! You have to work for it, just like anything else! If it makes you feel better, suit up, or put on some makeup and those glasses that make you look smart, and GO JOB HUNTING!!!
