online job resources

Online data entry jobs are scarce, but not unheard of in this day and age of the computer and internet.

Before applying for any job you may find , you'll want to make sure your skills and experience meet the qualifications requested.

Having the properly equipped home office will be important too. Your potential employer will want to know that you are serious, professional and qualified.

Go after any data entry job you find just as you would a job outside the home. Have a classy, professional and CURRENT resume with a personalized cover let to match!

Too many times people go after online jobs unprofessionally. If you really want the job, if you really need the income.....then don't respond to a job position with an email saying...."Yeah... I'd like more info on this job."



Sending an email like that (even if you're qualified) and another person sends a nice resume and a personal cover letter that states their genuine interest and why they'd be the best candidate --then guess what.....you just lost your chance!


Your resume is YOU. Are you a crumpled up piece of paper with stains on it, or are you a pristine, clearly written, ambitious piece of linen paper that wants to get noticed?

Another great resource is eLance. They've been around for YEARS. I myself did projects through eLance a few years ago. My MOM has even done a few jobs that she found on eLance! You basically bid on a job. Make sure you bid accordingly. Meaning - take in your time, how long it will take you and any supplies you might need to provide. Also be sure to look at the time line for the project! Don't take on a $500 project that needs to be done in two weeks, if you're getting ready to go on vacation. But all and all, this is a great resource for all kinds of projects. Current Data Entry Projects on eLance

If the person is asking for a membership fee to information of job listings, or a product to help you create your own business or a fee for a start up kit (think Avon, Discovery Toys, Tupperware) then that is a whole different ball game. Remember... there is NO free lunch. If you don't want to pay someone for the information or kit or whatever it is -- then do the work and create it for yourself. If it's worthwhile -- then sell the information to others at a reasonable price and you've created your own JOB!

Also.... look into the transcription job area or the writing area. Even online proofreading is becoming huge and I know many that have earned doing it. Almost all jobs in these areas will require samples of your work or some type of testing to rate your skill level. Be prepared for this.

Sometimes is can take months, if not years to land the dream job you want. Being ready with a great resume, keeping your skills current and searching daily is certainly the most positive move in that direction!

If you seem to be hitting obstacle after obstacle finding an online data entry job - don't get too discouraged. Many other avenues are opening up for people to earn at home. Telecommuting is becoming more and more acceptable. Look around your own community for ideas.


Others are finding success learning the ins and outs of writing on the internet. Blogging for blog owners and writing articles is becoming a steady way to earn cash.
