The data entry business is full of scammers. This has been a problem for a long time and continues to be a problem today. You hear all sorts of stories when you start looking into self-employment, especially at home based data entry jobs.

If you are looking for home based data entry jobs that will pay you a real income, this is the blog for you.

I have 5 of them that I am going to go into in just a second.
Skills that you will need to be successful with Data Entry
Computer Skills
Typing Skills

Highly tolerant of repetition. (Might not seem like a skill, but believe me it is.)
A few other odds and ends
A computer/Laptop. It’s your main resource. This will be an investment, a stepping stone, to getting you closer to where you want to be.
High-speed internet. We get paid for the value that we can bring. Not for our time. But it takes time, if we can add more value in less time, then we should. High-speed internet can help us with that.
Numeric Keypad. Depending on the type of data, you’ll need a numeric keypad for putting in those numbers
Software. Each type of data entry job may require you to use things like Microsoft office tools and some might even need you to have access to a G Suite account. So keep those things in mind as well

Amazons Mturk
Once your account is approved, you can pick up HITs (human intelligence tasks) that pay between $0.05 and $50, which means you can choose to work casually or anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours per day. But it’s not all as rosy as it sounds in the garden of microtask sites; there are plenty of lame tasks available.

Microworkers
Moving along to Microworkers, a freelancing site, where clients want micro-tasks to complete. These tasks can include proofreading, writing, or sometimes even data entry.
I’ve heard of scam jobs in the recent months offered through microworkers.com. These posts are for various tasks and are usually for web design and development type work such as backlinks, article writing, etc. Microworkers has become more popular as an opportunity during this pandemic and since it is free to join it has attracted more scammers both in terms of users spamming jobs and users offering fake jobs. This is not to say that the platform is at fault. It is just the nature of the beast.
Pro tip: Do your research. If it’s too good to be true it probably is!
Lionbridge
Now we are going to talk about Lionbridge. This company is not strictly speaking a data entry job but more known for the evaluator and assessor job Although it also offers a variety of other small tasks. One of those tasks being is annotation. A what you ask? An annotation is simply defined as a brief explanation or comment on a text, typically a passage from literature.
Annotations can be done in handwriting (called calligraphy) for more complex texts like Shakespearean plays, but are most commonly done using word processing software or online databases. A writer who works for this company might write annotations for eTextbooks used in the US education system, as an example.
We’re at the dawn of a new economy. One which is powered by artificial intelligence. The Annotation that you might provide could help further the progress of our new economy.

I have tested MTurk and also Microworkers. I did like MTurk andstuck to it and made enough money to buy a new cellphone. Having had a good experience with Amazon’s platform makes me also want to try Lionbridge. I hope it’s as good as Mturk. Thanks for suggesting these platforms.

I also did the same thing with the Go Transcript platform. Go Transcript also has a pretty great affiliate program as well which I am totally looking forward to checking that out as well!
Hi and thanks for sharing the links to these five companies and your explanations of the work opportunities they provide. I think it is very likely that there will be much more of this kind of work available than in the past particularly after the pandemic. So many companies had to transform their operations to have all or nearly all their employees working remotely. I think it is very likely that this experience demonstrated that they can successfully outsource many more of their administrative tasks than they have been doing until now. I also think it is likely that we will see more and more skilled work become available online. All of this will take time but I am sure it is a trend that will bring with it many new opportunities
I absolutely couldn’t agree more!
