Data Entry Pro - Data Entry Home Business Data Entry Pro If you are looking for a data entry job, or any type of work at home data entry opportunity, why not learn how to become a data entry pro by opening a small business? Why Limit Yourself to a Data Entry Job or just Data Entry from Home? If you are open to a more long-term, flexible, and fulfilling way to make money at home, any of the following statements will ring true for you ... √ You want to FIND OUT MORE about starting a home business doing data entry and other typing-related services ... Don't let a home business intimidate you. If you sign up for an online data entry program, you are an independent contractor working for yourself (if you can even find a legitimate online data entry program - I haven't). If you are hired by a freelance agency, you are a freelancer - an independent contractor once again - a self-employed individual working from home. If you find clerical data entry from home work through a temporary agency or for a particular short-term project ... it's just temporary and soon you find yourself back where you started ... trying to find a data entry job or another way to work from home. You are your own free agent. Owning a home-based business simply means that you are self-employed. You can make your business as complicated or as simple as you like. You can make your home business as expensive - or as inexpensive - to operate as you like. Don't be intimidated by a data entry home business ... get the facts first!  √ You are looking for a long-term solution to earning money at home ... Depending upon your location, your skills, and the equipment and supplies you already own, you could be up and running within 7 days! This is not rocket science. If you've got the skills to be hired as an employee by one company - you've got the skills to be hired as an independent contractor by lots of different companies! Having a job isn't necessarily any more secure these days than working for yourself. In fact, once you learn how to use your talents and skills for your own benefit, rather than someone else's, you may never work for someone else ever again!  √ You want to work around your family's schedule, set your own hours, raise your kids ... I hear lots of heart-felt stories from stay at home moms. Many have an almost overwhelming desire to be home with their children, at least through the early years. Once the youngest child is of school age, or they can afford daycare, or some other circumstance arises, the mom accepts her fate of having to return to the workforce as an employee, part time or full time. Why? Because she pursued a temporary work at home solution or never found one at all. Or because she never believed in herself and her ability to run a home-based business. A simple, undemanding home business is your answer to long-term, fulfilling income that is almost entirely within your control. I know that my 16 year old son, Ben, needs me at home just as much NOW as he did when I started my home business when he was only two years old! In fact, Ben was my motivation to launch my business back in 1995 ... he was my incentive to face challenges head on and reach my goals. Think about what, or who, can inspire you to stretch yourself, persevere, and keep you going to the finish line. Consider your career goals for the future as well as how you want to live your life ... now, in two years, in five years, in ten years ... If you want to earn an income from home, short term assignments and part time "jobs" will not endure. √ You believe that, as an entrepreneur, the sky is the limit as far as how you choose to make money and how much of it you make ... you just need some help getting started ... YES! Data entry is perhaps the easiest, least expensive computer service you can offer from home. YES! Data entry is in high-demand by businesses and business professionals around the globe. YES! Lots and lots of people are making money from home. Of the 7 million self-employed persons in the United States in 2004, two-thirds of them had a home-based business and averaged 25 hours per week working at home. That's part time! YES! If you can type with speed and accuracy and are dedicated to starting a part time (or full time) business from home with excellent instruction and support, you can become a home-based Data Entry Pro! Indeed, 1 in 4 of the over 4.5 million home-based entrepreneurs provided professional and business services ... such as data entry, word processing, and other administrative work ...according to the U.S. Census Bureau in 2004. And the trend has been increasing ever since.  Some Important Don'ts ... √ DON'T limit yourself to data entry. Remember, the term "Data Entry" can be interchangeable with any kind of typing-related service such as transcription, word processing, billing, secretarial, virtual assistance, freelance writing, event and travel coordination and on and on. √ DON'T pay for Online Data Entry Work Do you pay to complete a job application? Do you pay for a job interview? Do you pay customers to hire you? Do you pay your employer to be an employee? No way! You GET paid! To work at home, you will need to pay for education, equipment or supplies, and other resources ... similar to an employer paying for its employee's educational books and seminars, computer, office supplies, and the like. But ... √ DON'T be taken advantage of Hundreds of people are searching for ways to work from home. Some are more desperate than others. If they NEED MONEY NOW, their sense of urgency often causes them to make irrational decisions, such as falling for a scam they normally wouldn't have. Make good, careful choices. If you've been searching the internet and scouring the newspapers for work at home opportunities, and running into dead ends ... or worse yet, being taken advantage of ... get real, honest, meaningful, life-changing answers right here! Can you type with speed and accuracy? Can you use the ten-key number pad efficiently? Have you got some basic software skills like using word processing and spreadsheet programs? And basic computer skills like surfing the internet and managing emails? YES? Then You've Got All The Basic Skills Needed To Start A Successful Data Entry Home Business! My name is Michelle Johanson and my mission is to help you succeed working from home! "Michelle, you obviously do care about your clients who purchase your product and you do back up your guarantees with honesty and great integrity. I will not hesitate to spread the 'word' to others about your website ... Thank you again for going the extra mile with further information pertaining to my own personal goals." Virginia Plattsville, Ontario "I wanted to tell you that I was very impressed when I stumbled upon your site ... I have been looking and looking for such information and must let you know your site is awesome ... wow ... may more people find your incredible site. Thank you." Irma www.scentaliciouscandles.ca/ My Work at Home Success Story Back in 1994, I worked a full time job as an Executive Administrative Assistant. I took that job to reduce the level of stress I'd been experiencing first as a Credit Manager, and then as a Data Processing Supervisor. I thought I was "down-sizing". However, the secretarial work turned out to be far more stressful and demanding than I ever expected! Secretaries, virtual assistants, and other administrative or office support staff don't get nearly the appreciation or salary they deserve for their talent and skill. Get paid what you are worth and gain respect and praise in your own home business! I became more and more distressed about leaving my toddler (Ben, pictured above) in daycare to go to work every day ... especially to a job that left me exhausted and underpaid. So, I spread the word and started doing word processing and data entry projects "on the side" through referrals from family and friends. This was the beginning of freedom for me and my family! About a year later, in 1995, I said goodbye to my boss and hello to my newly launched home business, Projects Plus! Those early years were tough. Income was inconsistent, I learned by trial and error, and I worked long days and sometimes nights too. At the time, there really wasn't a book written about starting, marketing, and growing a data entry home business. There were no college classes on the topic nor could I find any websites at that time with the help and support I needed. It took me years to perfect the techniques, the pricing formulas, and the marketing methods that made my home business successful and profitable. All these years later, I am a well-known and respected businesswomen in my industry as the owner of Projects Plus LLC. In addition, I am a published author, a professional trainer, and a small business consultant. In the last several years, what started out as a hobby has become a profitable and deeply satisfying online adventure. Making money online through sources like affiliate marketing and eBooks has been fun and enlightening ... and my mission is to share my knowledge and experience with you so you can tell your own work at home success story. The Beauty Of A Home Business Is That You Make It Uniquely YOU. If you want to keep it small, keep it part time ... you can. If you want to expand into other areas besides, or instead of, data entry ... you can. If you want to grow beyond yourself and hire others ... you can. √ You'll know how to do all three of these things, and change them up as desired, with my detailed instruction. Imagine YOU ... a Data Entry Home Business Owner Imagine a two-minute commute to work ... or however long it takes to walk from the pot of coffee brewing in the kitchen to your computer. Imagine answering the phone and hearing, "Hi. This is Mike over at Advantage Mailing Services and I've got a data entry project for you!" √ You created a simple but effective, and very inexpensive, postcard mailing using my examples and suggestions, and you are getting results! Your new prospective customer, Mike, continues, "I've got 10,000 records we need entered for one of our clients. Can I get a quote?" √ YES! He sure can! You know exactly the right questions to ask to confidently bid his project because you are following my Price Guidelines Worksheet. Imagine the next day, Mike calls back to ask if you can have the project done within three weeks and where he should have it delivered! Let's see ... you figured you could type about 250 records per hour on Mike's job. So 10,000 records divided by 250 per hour is about 40 hours of work ... no problem getting it done in three weeks. You bid it at .14 cents per record ... that's about $1,400 for the data entry, divided by the 40 hours, so you'll average about $35 per hour! YES! YES! YES! √ The project arrives, you set it up in your database software per my lessons, and begin inputting the data with integrity and consistency, just as I have trained you to do. Less than three weeks later, because you know you should exceed your customers expectations in one way by beating their deadline, you complete and return Mike's project and send out an invoice for $1,437.36. Ten days later, you get your check in the mail! Whoooooheeeeeee! You can do a little dance in your pajamas and laugh and whoop for joy because you are in the comfort of your own home! And you just got paid  ... working for yourself! After you've calmed down, you make a copy of that check and tape it to the wall above your computer! And then you drive to the bank and make your deposit ... into a business checking account, separate from your personal account. You then record the deposit in your check register so you can keep accurate financial records. Remember, you will need to set aside some funds for self-employment tax and cover some business expenses out of that deposit. √ You send Mike out a nice, hand-written "Thank you" note along with a survey of your services, just like I describe in more detail in my training. Another envelope comes in the mail from Advantage Mailing Services a few days later. It's the completed survey from Mike, giving you high marks and a testimonial that says ... "Thanks for your superior service at a reasonable price. I won't hesitate to recommend you and hope to work with you again in the near future." And it keeps getting better! A week or so later, a gal named Jane calls from a company called Design Studio. She says that Mike from Advantage Mailing referred her and she needs a bid on her project! Fantastic! Imagine that during all of this excitement, you are taking care of and playing with your kids; volunteering at school, church or for a cause close to your heart; getting the laundry and errands done during the day so that evenings are available for family activities, social events, or even data entry work! *The above description is based on actual circumstances! Imagine how fulfilling it will be ... to earn money at home ... using your talents and skills ...  around your personal schedule ... with no one looking over your shoulder ... except very proud family and friends.
