Data entry work at home, help please???

Options
Hello Im a stay at home mum, and my son is due to start nursery this sept. I've previously read a thread about data entry work at home? Could someone tell me what it entails etc and also if some one could PM me the links for some company's that you can data enter for please?? I'm now a single mum of 3 and finding it a massive struggle lately, so this kind of work sounds ideal. Thanks for any help/advice in advance xx

    Anybody ?? xx
  • Hi Michellen34,

    There is already a thread about data entry further down the page - thread starts with SAHM, sorry I don't know how to put a link. Unfortunately, most of the information is fairly negative - most adverts for data entry are scams. I needed a few extra pound per month and started doing surveys etc - doing not too bad. Have you thought about Avon, surveys, mystery shopping etc - it all helps. Be very careful about replying to adverts for data entry - if it asks for money up front, walk away. Hope you find something that suits your situation.

    Hiya FrosyFreckle, Yeah i did read that post but alot of the links were sent by private message to other people so not posted. I have tried avon and i'm signed up with survey companys etc Ciao was my fave but now not paying much to do there surveys anymore. I'd never heard of data entry before so thought i'd look into it. Thank you for the advice, got no money to put up front anyway lol xx

    How about https://www.teletech.com its a ligitimate company its under up your income thread, i think you have to take calls and work from your pc part or full time but i think you have to be able to commit to a minimum 20 hours per week which is why i am unable to do it. But it sounds perfect for work at home mums.

    what i think of data entry at home ... all things for it are scams .. cos if they want u to input data .. they will have to give you data to imput .. so why would they need it inputting if they already have ??

    I just wanted to say that not all data entry is a scam.

    I manage a Bureau and have a team of homeworkers to do data entry for me. We often have information sent to us which needs formatting and re typing or excel spreadsheets that need sorting. There are companies out there, I'm afraid you just need to find them.

    If you are a typist, try contacting publishers as they often need help.
