Work from home data entry jobs involve typing information into electronic formats from your home or another remote location instead of at an office. Most job duties are clerical in nature. You may be typing or entering data into a word processing application, spreadsheets, or other specific software. These jobs often use video conferencing and other forms of online communication for meetings, assignments, and collaboration. If you are detail-oriented and prefer to telecommute by working remotely from home, this is a great career option.
