Data Entry Jobs for Beginners – How to Find Them and Get Started! (Step-by-Step)

Are you looking for data entry jobs for  beginners and want to know how to find them and get started? Then this video is for you.  My name is Mikael and I love testing different ways to make money online. And many viewers  have asked me about more information about how to get started with data entry jobs  if you're a complete beginner. So that's exactly what I will go over in this video. I  will go over the requirements, what you need to consider before starting and also give you  some examples

of how to find these legit jobs. First let's talk about data entry job types  because there are quite a few different types. There are for example you know data cleaning,  there's transcriptions, there's annotations, that's what I call like AI training tasks. There  are many different types of this type of job. So some of them might be interesting for you. Some of  them might not. So that's just something you need to consider later when we go over how to find  them. Which of these types do you t

hink fit your interest the most. So just wanted to make that  clear that you can't just say that data entry jobs is just this type of jobs because it can, you  know, cover many different areas. And how much you can earn will also depend on the exact type. And  speaking of that, let's go over how much you can earn with data entry jobs. So I just jumped to a  site there we'll talk more about specific places where you can find jobs later. This is just to show  you for example here this one would gi

ve you up to $16 per hour. This one $20. Here you see up to  $41,000 annually. This one $27 hourly/ You see this up to $65,000 annually. This is of course for  full-time jobs. This is just an example for that. There are also jobs that just gives a few dollars  here and there. But this was just to show you the potential. Of course, exactly how much you can earn  will depend on the jobs. How much effort do you put into. Also to a certain degree the country you live  in because in certain countries

, that just are some higher paying jobs. But usually also the ones that  pays the highest, they also require more skills. But there are some data entry jobs no matter your  skill some where you don't need any experience at all. And some that require certain specific  skills. And speaking of skills, let's talk about what overall skills you need to do data entry jobs.  So when it comes to the skills you need, then it really depends on the job. Of course like so many  other things. But overall, the

re are few things that you need. You need to have basic computer skills.  If you don't know anything about using a computer then data entry jobs are not really for you. You  don't have to have expert skills but at least the basic understanding is necessary to do this  type of jobs. Also you need to be able to organize yourself, at least have a good overview of your  time, be able to set aside time and just in general have a good overview. Because with data entry,  often is that you need to you k

now keep focused on doing certain things and sort it out. So  you need to have that ability also. And one of the final basic skills you need is also communication.  But that of course depends on the job. Sometimes If you hired more like permanently part-time,  full-time then you need to have good communication skills to communicate with your employer or your  co-workers. If it's more like these small tasks you just do once in a while whenever it fits you,  then it's not so necessary. But still i

t is a good basic skill to have. So that's the overall skills. Then there are some the jobs that require a little bit more specific skills. But before we  then dive more into which tools you potentially need to do this, let's talk about a very important  thing, just a quick warning against the many scams that out there. So I just also want to make it  clear that there are many data entry scams. That doesn't mean that there's no legit data entry jobs  because there's a lot of those. But there ar

e also a lot of scams. And there are many that will uh  make it look like it's a really high paying data entry job and then they will just uh you know take  you somewhere else to like Telegram and then say Oh you just have to pay this and this or you'll  do a lot of work and never get paid. So there's a lot of scams. And later I will talk a little  bit more about how you can make sure to only find the legit jobs. I also do have an article on  my website about how to avoid data entry scam. So I'l

l also leave a link to that below so you can go  and check that out. But next let's talk about what tools you need to do these type of jobs. Overall,  you don't really need many tools to do data entry jobs. Most of the time you do need a computer at  least. There are a few tasks you can potentially do from your phone but very few data entry jobs  will be good or effective to do on your phone. So that's one thing you need to consider. And  then there's of course some that will require maybe like

headphones or something like that. But  that really depends on the specific job. But you will always be told before you start working on  something if there are any specific tools you need or any specific software or something like that,  Of it's a specific software sometime maybe they will even actually give you access to that also. So  next let's talk about how to apply for data entry jobs. And then we'll go over a couple of examples  of how you can find this type of different jobs. So dependi

ng on your preferences, you can easily  get started. And again this depends on the job. But overall if it is longer term positions, for example,  like part-time or full-time, then it is usually a real application process where you need to write  an application, send then your resume, go through the whole process and so and then you'll get hired. And then there are other platforms where it's just like small tasks you can do here and there where  you just sign up for free and you can basically get

started right away. Sometimes there is some  basic training you need to go through first. That will usually be unpaid. So you don't get paid for  your time for to do that. But it's to teach you the skills. But there there's not as such an application  process. That's something anyone can do and you can get started with that very quickly. And I will also  show you examples of both types of jobs where you can find them so you can can find the ones that  are right for you. So let's jump into that

showing you a couple of examples of how to find legit  jobs. So I already was on this website earlier this is called FlexJobs. And if you're looking for  flexible jobs, this is in my opinion and experience one of the best job posting platforms because  they filter the jobs. They make sure that it's only legit jobs. You get tools here to help your  application. They help you to actually make it uh easy to find different jobs. There's also a small fee to  actually join but in my opinion if you're

looking for long-term positions, part-time, full-time then  paying a few extra dollars to make sure that it's only legit real jobs is definitely worth it. But  if you're just looking for small tasks, we'll talk about that later also. Then of course that's not  really really this this is if you're looking for potentially earning a part-time or full-time  income from data entry jobs. And then you can see there are quite a few options. You can go here  and search. You can see here it's remote there

. You can also search if if you want to like not the  remote or also you can search for the location if there's a specific location so in your country.  And FlexJobs has jobs in basically all countries and international. You can see right now just  if you search for data entry and there can be different variations of this. You can see there's  uh 261 job search here. Yo get the full information about them you would need to log in to a paid  account there. You can read all about what the requirem

ents are, the hourly rate here. This one  temporary. This one is freelancer. This one is where you actually employed. So you can see there  are many different options. You can also filter it from entry level, schedule you know if you  want just want to do part-time, then you can see what then shows up. Then you can see then there is  87. So there are many many different options like this. This is definitely a good place to find data  entry jobs or any other remote jobs if you are looking for the

se more like permanent positions.  But let me also give you a couple of examples of these small easy tasks uh where you can just  earn a few dollars extra here and there but where you can just sign up and get started right  away. So one platform many people like for these small data entry task is something like a Remotasks.  It doesn't pay that well, let me just reveal that right away. I also have a full video about it.  I'll leave that in the top corner here so you can learn more but the the ta

sk is something you can  learn if you just have a computer and basic skills. You will get a bit of training and then something  like annotations different things like that. It's very similar for example also to Hive Micro, you  can see also here some of the type of jobs where you draw boxes around and categorize different  things, audio transcriptions, different small tasks like this. Platforms like this you can just  sign up for free, take a bit of training you have to go through there and then

start earning right  away. That will take time and effort to earn so it's not something you can do for full-time  income or anything like that. But it is faster and easier to get started with. So which of the  options that are the best really depends on your personal preferences. So as you can see, it's  definitely possible to find data entry jobs as a beginner. And you do not need need any fancy  skills or anything like that to get started with it. Of course that does depend on the specific  j

ob. But if you want to know more about the methods that I talk about here, for example FlexJobs. I  have a full review of that. I will leave a link below. I also do have a list of the best data  entry job platforms on my website. I also leave a link to that below. There you can for example  find full tutorials of of the couple of small task platforms I talked about there and joining  links for them and things like that. So then you can go there and find more information and easily  get started i

f you find out any of these options are for you on that list.
