i want to start a freelance business working from home?

I am a excellent and fast typist. I want to start my own freelance business doing data entry work. Anyone have any good business names I could use.

"If a company requires initial payment from you in order to work for them, they are not legitimate."

There are a few legitimate data entry companies but are not hiring and have large waiting lists (1-2yrs). The majority of data entry jobs you seen online are scams. A real company will want you to have skills inc fast typing, may want you to know MS Excel, and will usually ask that you have high speed internet. Once in a long while you may found one online on a job website but thats rare.

If you do an advanced search on yahoo, you will find previous answers, sometimes the info on these is good as the info they gave is likely to have been verified if the answer was voted as ‘Best’.

    I have been working from home in India for the past few months. My income comes mainly from Data Entry, Online Surveys and Transcription. The majority of the Data Entry and transcription comes from english speaking countries like the UK and USA.

    I’ve given lists of companies who I’ve worked for on my blog. Hope you find this useful.

    Hi Rich (see now you are already Rich!)

    Dede provided you with a nice site for data entry resources. I will help you out to find data entry jobs. Check out http://www.freelance-projects.info. This site itself does not have projects, so you need to find suitable projects and hit the "Place Bid" link to go to the actual site with the project and register on that site and then bid for the work.

    This site aggregates projects from various sites and hence, is a one stop shop for finding work from various sites!

    I hope this helps, Best of Luck! Rich!
