Do real virtual data entry jobs exist? While they might be hard to find, it is possible to find work at home jobs and projects for data entry agents, data keyers, word processors, administrative assistants and virtual assistants.

The Real Deal On Virtual Data Entry

Let's get this straight... most home based data entry and typing jobs that you see on the Internet are scams. In fact, there are more scams in the data entry job field than any other! Regardless of if the offer came to you via email or if you found it on the Monster Career Builder - chances are it is a SCAM.

The good news is - "most" does not mean "all" as there are a few legitimate opportunities that you can pursue.


Project Opportunities Verses Job Opportunities

Your best bet for real virtual data entry opportunities is to apply for project based work. Projects are temporary assignments lasting anywhere from a few days to 1 year. They usually do not offer benefits or permanent placement but they are are great way to earn money from home doing entry level data entry.

A few things you should know...

These projects are few and far between. Virtual Office Temps VOT receives only about 10-15 new LEGIT data entry projects per week for more than 200,000 interested and qualified virtual assistants. (On the other hand, we receive hundreds of data entry scams that we quickly delete and report!)

To land one of these projects you must be the BEST at what you do, have incredible references, experience working from home (usually but not always), a good Credit Score and a well equipped home office. Employers will also need to see your Virtual Assistant Website and resume.







What Employers Look For

Since the competition is so high, employers can generally pick and choose. If you do not have experience working from home - GET SOME! Try a customer service, sales or telephone support job first so that you have a reference that can vouch for your home based experience. If you've had credit issues in the past, work on cleaning up your report. Generally, data entry hiring managers will not consider applicants who have missed rent/mortgage payments or late telephone/Internet service payments. There are thousands of qualified candidates with excellent references and great credit histories, so don't let this problem cost you the chance to work from home. Free Credit Score at TransUnion

Once you have cleaned up your Credit and gained some home based experience you will want to detail your history in your Virtual Assistant Website. Employers want to know that you are connected online, understand the Internet and are a progressional and serious candidate. Your website is a great way to showcase this!

Be sure to list your skills and the services that you can perform from your virtual office. If possible, try to niche your website so that you stand out in one or two top service areas. For instance, perhaps you might want to focus on financial or legal data entry - or maybe your background is more medical - whatever your field, use your resume to highlight it as this will help you stand above the thousands of other "general" virtual data entry agents listed with VOT.
