Data Entry Business

If you are looking for data entry jobs at home, consider another alternative ... a data entry business. You can still do work at home data entry, and other legitimate work from home, with a more regular income and a much better opportunity to expand.

What is a Data Entry Business?

Data entry and related services such as word processing, secretarial, transcription, bookkeeping, and other typing projects, are highly in demand and well paid for on an outsource basis. And that's really what your data entry home business is ... an outsource service.

Instead of hiring an employee and bearing the expenses of benefits, supplies, space, equipment, training, and much more ... the employer saves a lot of time and money outsourcing certain tasks or projects to a professional, skilled freelancer like you!

As a business owner, you acquire work-at-home projects and customers from various sources.

  • Local area businesses and individuals (offline)

  • Independent contractor relationships such as those listed on our Data Entry at Home page.

  • Independent contractor relationships with large data processors, fulfillment companies, direct mail marketing providers and similar service providers in your local area.

  • Online freelance networks such as Go Freelance.com or elance.com. See our Freelance Data Entry page.

  • Referrals

Business Owner vs. Independent Contractor

So many people want a "work at home data entry job". Better, though, not to limit yourself. Rather than working for just one company or individual from home [in your data entry "job"] ... why not start your own data entry home business. As an independent contractor OR a business owner:

  • You are self-employed

  • In the United States, you must pay income taxes at the end of the year and you can deduct business expenses. (Similar laws may apply in other countries. You should thoroughly understand the laws regarding independent contractor status where you live.)

  • You have to provide the supplies and equipment necessary to perform the work

  • You have to have or acquire the skills needed to perform the work

  • You have to manage the paperwork, filing, accounting and other administrative tasks

A big disadvantage to a work at home data entry "job" - or being an independent contractor for one company or individual - is that they will only provide work when they have it available and they set your rate of pay.

In addition, you are generally only performing one type of service - such as data entry. It's almost like having all of your eggs in one basket ... when the basket is empty, you have to wait for someone to fill it up again. In the meantime, you've got nothing.

The key to making more money, more consistently, is to have a variety of customers.

In your own home business, you should develop a strong base of clients. You might do data entry three or four times a year for a data processing firm; transcription for a marketing survey company as needed; a one-time word processing project for a local real estate agent; miscellaneous projects from elance.com, where you begin to develop a good reputation ...

As your business grows, you continue to gain new clients. As well, you get referrals from past clients and your list of references is quite impressive. If you choose to learn a new skill, or software program, or niche within a specific industry ... you now know how to market yourself to new customers and you have an expansive database of past customers to help spread the word.

In your Data Entry Home Business, you have the opportunity to earn a lot more money, enjoy a larger variety of projects, often provide a price quote rather than being told what you're worth, work with local businesses, earn a professional reputation, acquire excellent business references, and set your own schedule.
