Amongst all home based jobs, data entry is the most popular.
It is popular for the reason that it can employ thousands of people in a day at the same time it does not require any experience before one can get started.
Unlike other home based jobs that promises quick income and requires specific skills, online data entry does not which makes it even more enticing.
This is not actually a job but a business although commonly known as a job.
Unlike other businesses that need capital to start, this one does not have any start up fees.
Since this is a business, you do not have any employer; you work mainly for yourself and nobody else.
In terms of income, a beginner usually gets no more than $500 per day but as he gets used to the job, the earnings will also increase as much as $1000.
But of course, hard work and perseverance is always the key to earn big in this business just like any other business, only, the quantity of work is also considered in this -- the more forms completed, the more earnings you will surely get.
Before you can get started in this job, first of all you must search for a reliable data entry program.
I have experienced looking for programs on the internet way back; I have come across sites that are fraudulent and few that are legitimate.
Three of my favorite programs are National Data Entry, My Data Team and Web Colleagues.
National Data Entry has a five step system that will train you extensively and provides you with all the resources you will need.
Next in line is My Data Team, this is also one good option.
It has opportunities in web research, transcription and a lot more.
Last but not least, Web Colleagues, their opportunities here are more on web content writing more than filling in forms but is equally good.
Among the three, my most favorite is the National Data Entry.
I have been equipped with much information, techniques and strategies to earn more in this line of business.
