Hi guys
I’m searching for legit remote data entry jobs that are part-time and require no experience. I've come across many listings, but it's hard to tell what's trustworthy.
I'm looking for something flexible that I can do from home without getting scammed or underpaid. If you’ve done this kind of work recently or know of any reliable platforms or companies hiring beginners, please share your experience. Also open to similar entry-level remote roles. Just want to get started with something real and steady. Thanks in advance!
Edit: Just wanted to share my experience, I tried a lot of things, and here’s what actually worked for me.
I used EliteSurveySites to find high paying survey panels, read their tips, and signed up for a few panels they recommended. At first, I barely made anything, just a few cents here and there. But after a couple of months, things picked up. Now I’m making over $1500 a month with a mix of BrandedSurveys, SurveyJunkie, and others.
I also started doing simple writing gigs like captions for Instagram and LinkedIn, and i make around $200-$300 per month from this.
I started posting affiliate content in pet forums, which brings in around $100–$150 from last month, but it seems the number of clicks are growing day by day. So, I’m expecting more from this.
Hope this helps. I'll update this post if I come across anything else worth sharing.
On the surface level it seems like an introvert’s dream job: wfh, don’t have to be on the phone all day, and it’s an entry level job where you just type type type. But what is it actually like working in Data Entry? What are some misconceptions about the job? I’m trying to determine if it’s a job worth pursuing. TIA!
Do legit work-from-home jobs even exist?
Yes, there are absolutely real work-from-home jobs out there. From full-time careers to freelance gigs, many employers offer remote opportunities that are just as stable and rewarding as traditional in-office roles.
People often assume remote jobs are limited to fields like tech and customer service, but remote work has become increasingly common across industries, from administrative and marketing to social media and project management.
Can you find legit work-from-home jobs with no experience?
Yes, many remote employers hire for entry-level jobs and focus on transferable skills that are useful across industries and job titles, such as communication, organization, or tech literacy.
Furthermore, you can target certain career fields that commonly offer entry-level jobs that don’t require experience. For instance, customer service, data entry, and transcription are great examples of career fields where you can generally find work-from-home jobs using your transferable skills vs formal work experience.
Do remote jobs pay less than in-office jobs?
No, pay is usually not lower for remote jobs than it is for office roles. While some remote jobs may offer slightly lower pay due to location-based salaries or fewer overhead costs for the employer, many remote roles pay the same (or even more) than their in-office counterparts.
Compensation for any job, including remote jobs, also depends on the company, industry, and your experience.
As the title says i’m 24 years old and i’ve only worked data entry jobs and minimum wage jobs my entire life and I don’t know how to move up in life.
I’m realizing my experience doesn’t translate to any other field and I don’t have any skills so i feel like i’m gonna be stuck like this for the rest of my life.
What can I do to change this?
Wife is looking for a remote data entry job. Is there a place local hiring? What are legitimate places to look. Seems like there are a lot of scams out there.
Because every time I look into one, or someone approaches me about one, it always seems super scammy. I got a text from a recruiter for a biomedical pharmaceutical company about a data entry job. I’d never heard of it before and I didn’t remember applying but thought maybe I did apply through a staffing agency or something so I replied, asking to see a job description…never heard back. Seriously, a remote data entry job would make my entire life right now. I’m an attempting to transition teacher, been job hunting for over a year, 2 kids at home I very much enjoy being around and am not trying to shell out my entire paycheck to send daycare for. A data entry job would be perfect for where I am right now, but I’m really starting to believe they’re just a made up way to steal something from me.
So I'm trying to get out of Walmart right now for a full time work from home job for someone who has never worked a work from home job in his life. it's either at a warehouse, a restaurant or right now, Walmart. is there any other sites that i can attempt to apply at? Or is everything literally a scam these days? Only was able to apply for one so far and that was Dataannotations. don't know how legit it is but we'll see if they'll even hire me at all.
Does anyone know of any remote or data entry jobs that are legit? I currently work at a restaurant as a server but the restaurant is going downhill. I have to move in 2 months and I don't want to work in another restaurant, I'd rather work from home so I can continue my work even after moving. I've looked online but I don't know what companies are legit and what are not.
Hello good day! As the title suggest, where can i find data entry work? Ive been through alot of facebook groups pero mostly its a spam of scam posting. Finding work at upwork and olj is also an option pero its currently hard to net a client.
Little background about me
Used to be a donut maker, i used to bake alot and i have been doing it for 2 years pero i know na its not for me.
I am currently interested in data analysis and i am currently learning the technical stuff that comes with it (currently Excel)
I have finish an excel course in udemy and also finished a series from excelisfun in youtube. I can say na i can use excel in a intermediate level naman pero i need a work where i can practice my skills or else it will just slow deteriorate.
Tools i have is my Laptop(8gb/1tb) and an okay internet connection.
I would highly appreciate if you can recommend where I can find data entry work as someone who has no work experience on this area. Or if there is any job offer you can give.
Thanks for reading!
I have seen a few videos of a guy on youtube researching some companies and fill in information from their websites to a spreadsheet, getting paid 9usd per hour.
Is this just fake to generate traffic to their ebooks and udemy courses and stuff like that, or are those actual jobs? I need to find work. I tried to work as a translator/transcriber but besides almost not finding any work at all, I don't even have a reliable workflow.... Sometimes I go weeks witout anything.
Look. I just wanna pay rent and eat, and I don't even need thousands of dollars for that. But without any specialised skills I am so fucked..
Is that real? How do I find jobs like that? When I look on upwork I don't find work like that, despite the youtuber claiming he found it on upwork (showed the job actually, but he could easily hire himself...)
I understand it is HIGHLY boring work and very repetitive, but I can manage that. Transcription is the same boring shit.
Does anyone actually do it? Where do I look? What is the job title? Help a brother out.
I’ve been looking for the same type of job for almost 2 years. So far every data entry job I come across (LinkedIn, Indeed etc) is bogus. It’s always someone trying to ‘hire’ you so they can send a check to buy equipment for a nonexistent job. I’m sick of getting contacted by ‘recruiters’ who are really scams, and I wish the job boards would put an end to it.
My job is “data entry”. My official title is an Electronic Data Technician but all I do is sit behind a computer and index documents for an insurance company. I only found the job through an old friend who used to work for the same company. So jobs like this do exist but I agree that they are very hard to find and most posts for them on job searching sites are scams. Maybe look up some insurance company websites and look at their available jobs? My company only posts their job openings on their website and I would guess that’s how most other insurance companies do it as well. Or possibly try looking for indexing jobs instead of data entry. Best of luck!
How do you progress if you have a decent entry level remote data entry job without a degree? I want to stay as long as possible but I don't feel like it will last forever, especially with AI. Is the only way to start over in other fields?
I’m looking for part-time data entry work I can do from home this year. I don’t have experience, but I’m organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable with basic computer tasks.
I’m just trying to earn a little extra. If anyone has suggestions or is doing something legit, please let me know. Thanks..
I've been in a data entry position for about 10 years now. I've kept with it because it's been so easy, I get a lot of freedom, no stress, no micromanaging, WFH (for almost 10 years), etc. but the pay has always been a little lower. Lately, the cost of living is just too much and I'm smart enough to know my job should be replaced with AI any day now (I work for a tech firm).
In my day-to-day work I use a couple of in-house software programs for finding data that is used in automated email marketing as well as Excel and occasionally FileZilla, besides the usual use of Teams and Outlook throughout the day.
I have no schooling in IT and wanted to check in and see if anyone was aware of career trajectories that utilized data entry to evolve into something more or if I should prepare for a complete career change, but maybe something that would put my experience to work. During this whole time, I have been a volunteer for at-risk youth at a drop-in if that's worth anything.
Are there seriously no data entry or word processing remote jobs? I know I can't do sales. I can't do office work due to a disability. Is it a pipe dream unicorn to find something?
