• Job Title – Data Entry Transcription

• Job Description - Data Entry Transcription is a job where you listen toaudio or video of focus groups or interviews, and type everything out, word forword.  It’s really as simple asthat.  There are lots of companies outthere who are looking to hire reliable transcriptionists.  That’s your title in this job by theway.  You’re a transcriptionist.  Most companies will send you a digital file,like an mp3, wma, wav, etc…  You thenopen the file in the software that My Data Team provides you with for free.  You listen to thefile carefully, while typing out everything that’s being said in Microsoft Wordor some other similar Word program.  Thetraining for this is SO extensive, it turns you into a pro at transcribing, andit even tells you exactly what to put in each bullet point of your resume sothat you quickly get hired by some of the companies they have listed on thesite.  I seriously got hired within a day of sending out my resume. Ittrains you on how to become fast at typing, if you aren’t already.  The training also gives you specific sampleprojects to complete so that you’re prepared when someone DOES hire you.  It’s laid back work that you can do anywherein your house as long as you have a set of headphones (well, I guess you coulduse speakers too, but trust me – it will be easier to do this job wearing headphones).  Again, this is, without a doubt, a very legit online job listed on My Data Team’s website.  I’ve made all my money so far from this job alone.  There is MUCH more information listed on their page, so if this intrigues you at all, make sure to head on over to the My Data Team web site and read more.

• How Much Money You Can Make – According to My Data Team’s website, if you can type 40 to 60 words per minute, you can earn as much as $30 to $40 per hour.  If you aren’t experienced as a transcriber (which, this would be your status after the training), meaning you can type between 30 to 50 words per minute, you can expect to make about $12 to $25 per hour.

*I want to mention my own experience and how I’ve personally earned my money doing this.  I’ve been hired to do various jobs and what I’ve noticed is that these companies pay you according to how long an audio file is and what exactly you’re transcribing (focus group, interview,etc…).  For instance, I transcribed a focus group, which is more difficult than transcribing an interview.  So, with the focus group job, the company paid me $90 per hour of audio.  That breaks down to $1.50 per minute of audio. The focus group was 132 minutes & 29 seconds long; the rate I was paid was $1.50 per minute of audio, so this means I was paid a total of $198.44 to transcribe this focus group which was a little over two hours long.  Other jobs will pay $75 per hour of audio you transcribe and others may pay you $60 per audio.  It all depends on which company hires you, the quality of sound, and exactly what you are transcribing.

My first check I received a few weeks ago doing this job.  More money
is coming in now too.  I've made a total of $520 so far.
