Most of my blog readers and followers have the desire to work from home doing data entry. Although these jobs are few and far between, there are some companies that still need people to work from home keying in data from their laptop or desktop computer. Data entry can be a great opportunity to get your foot in the door to working from home because it doesn’t require a lot of skills other than to type fast and accurately, is easy to complete and enjoyable for many if you like repetitive work.
Before I started working from home, one of the jobs that I had was working for the United States Post Office in their remote encoding department as a data entry keyer. My job was to look at a computer screen and type in the names, addresses and zip codes of individuals written on mail piece images that were not picked up by the scanner. The pay was great and I could even listen to music while working as long as my performance didn’t suffer.
Work at home Data Entry Companies I have experience with
I also worked for a few work at home companies doing data entry from home in my spare time like Lionbridge, Great American Opportunities, Amazon Mturk and other small gigs. Because data entry is considered to be an entry-level position, that pay may not be as desirable as the job. You can expect to earn at least minimum wage or a little higher depending upon your speed and accuracy.
On this website and my other blog at Homebasedmommie.com, I currently post legitimate data entry jobs as they become available. There is one company called Cass Information Systems that constantly advertises their data entry positions because they are in high demand. Here are a few details about this position so that you will know what to expect working from this company from home and how you can apply online.
