Article Content Writing Jobs An area of freelance at-home employment that is rapidly increasing in number of job opportunities available is that of Article Content Writing. As the number of blogs and other content-centric websites grow, those who create these sites are realizing that content is indeed king, and that in order for their business to succeed, they need a lot more content than they originally thought. In steps the freelance article writer. And, let me say that the term “article” is used very, very loosely. When one thinks of an article, visions of newspapers and news websites instantly come to mind, and while those are of course included in this category, the majority of the work available in this arena is related to writing blog posts, most of which anonymously. But that’s ok, it’s not all about getting “credit” for your work on the surface. It’s a business, after all, so your primary focus should be on delivering good content on a consistent basis in order to retain your clients, thus boosting sales. When you’ve finally decided to tackle the article writing business, you must be knowledgeable, or able to become knowledgeable on almost every subject matter that there could possibly be to write about. In the same sense, you must also be familiar with all styles of writing, both journalistic and essay form, in order to accurately produce what your client is expecting from you. Trust me, you may have a great online profile that looks sparkling, but if you can’t deliver “the goods” like you promised you could, then that could mean a very short...

Research Data Entry Positions Research Data Entry jobs are among the highest outsourced in the Data Entry industry, a market which has increased drastically for those working from home. Unlike the majority of other Data Entry work, Research Data Entry usually comes in bulk due to the nature of the information being entered. Research data involves entering data gathered mainly from surveys. Nearly every company sends out at least one survey each year, whether it’s to gage customer interest, or employee satisfaction, or a number of different things. Many businesses will conduct several more, such as those to evaluate product performance. Three or four surveys a year may seem like small potatoes, but when you consider the vast amount of businesses that exist in the United States alone, the overall number of surveys starts to add up, and add up fast. Because of many factors, including the current corporate tax rate, insurance costs, and a variety of employee-related expenses, it’s become nearly impractical for any CEO to justify to his or her board the need for a full-time, or even part-time staff, dedicated solely for the purpose of entering statistical data over a period of what amounts to maybe a month or so each year. For those of you working at home, this could be a potential goldmine. The sheer volume of research data needing entered means that at any given time, there are usually more jobs out on the market than there are those seeking such jobs. If you’re a skilled typist, you’ll be able to take on multiple jobs at the same time, especially if the surveys...

What is Transcription Data Entry? Among the many career paths in the Data Entry Industry, Transcription Data Entry ranks as one of the most rewarding opportunities of all. Transcription Data Entry in its simplest form is transcribing recordings into typed form. For instance, if someone has written a book by vocally recording due issues with their hands, or other inability to type, they would require someone to transcribe those recordings into book form. I must also point out that “data” is a very, very broad term. Anything, conceivably, can be considered as data, but in the field of Transcription Data Entry, the most common form of entry is from legal and medical notes, as well as a growing market for the transcription of educational data, such as classroom recordings made by the physically disabled. But before tossing your hat in the ring, there are several things you must have. First, you need to have a computer with high-speed internet access, and very good anti-virus software. Second, you’ll need a way to play back the recordings that are needing to be transcribed. While most opt to play the recordings through their computers via a media player, as the majority of recordings are delivered in the form of an mp3 file, others choose to use a detached recorder, such as an iPod or other digital recorder, in the case that their computer does not have any speaker, they do not possess headphones, and so on. When looking at prospective jobs at the beginning, it’s good to have in mind that each job may take between three and four hours to complete....

Creating an eBook and Marketing It Successfully Nothing quite compares to the age-old quest to write the “Great American Novel.” It seems there comes a point in everyone’s life where they choose to embrace their inner writer, no matter their background or subject of interest. What’s so unique is that while less and less of us admit that we read, more and more of us are deciding to finally “put pen to paper,” so to speak, and release the years of pent up ideas that have been building in the creative parts of our minds. Now, though, may be the perfect time to actually give it a shot. Since the commercialization of the publishing industry decades upon decades ago, getting anyone who worked in so much as the mail-room at one of these companies to even glance at your manuscript has been considered a success. Simply put, until now you’ve had a better chance at seeing the Minnesota Timber-wolves win an NBA championship than getting your prized book-to-be published, or even read. But thanks to the eBook, the landscape for would-be authors has drastically changed for the good. Thanks to the eBook, writers are now given the power to write what they want, and put it out on their own for the public purchase, for the consumer to decide just how “worthy” your book is. If you’ve ever read an eBook, though, and most of us have whether we admit it or not, it may look to be a daunting task. But thrust this author: It most certainly isn’t. All it takes to create and market your eBook successfully...
