Have you ever heard that all work at home ‘Data Entry’ jobs are scams or there really are no legitimate ‘Data Entry’ jobs that you can do at home? Well, I’m here to tell you that that is FALSE.

As a freelancer, my motto is to always have more than one egg in my basket. And one of the favorite eggs in my basket is a seasonal data entry job. Each year it starts up in the Fall and runs till just before Christmas. This company is called Great American Opportunities (GAO) and I work as a Home Based Operator (HBO) transferring data from handwritten order forms to an online form.

This article was written to show you that all work at home ‘data entry’ jobs aren’t scams. This is a real company that has been in the school fundraising business since 1975. And I can also share with you that each year, in addition to bringing back HBO’s from previous years, GAO also offers contracts to new HBO’s. So it is possible to get on with this company for future work if you follow the procedures and pass the required testing. I’ll explain this at the bottom of this post.

Right now, I just want to share my joy. It is this ‘high’ that makes me love working at home. I’m so excited to have received my official login information for the 2009 Fall season that I feel like I’m gonna burst out in song & dance. I really do feel like dancing and singing, ‘I’m making money at home & I love it”. Working at home is a job but when you perceive it as making money doing something you love from the comforts of your own home - then the money becomes the icing on the cake. And by the way, I like thick icing.

So to all those who snub real data entry jobs and claim them all to be fake, my advise is “don’t apply here”. Just keep looking instead of working which is what we do each Fall season with GAO. Here we are typing for more than just ‘cookie jar money’ - it’s a real job for real pay. So for those who say “it’s impossible”, “it can’t be done” or “these jobs don’t exsist”, I say “nah,nah,nah ,nah” all the way to the bank each Fall.

I’m proud to be a part of this team and thank this company for using Home Based Operators for their data entry needs. Each year this program allows many work at home moms and others who work at home a legitimate way to earn money by working with a well-organized and established company.

OK, enough about me, now I’ll share the procedures for getting offered a contract with GAO for data entry work each Fall. Please don’t expect to send in your request and immediately be able to start. The average wait to be offered a contract has been up to a year or two for many of the current HBOs.

Before starting you should know that you are required to have an up-to-date computer with DSL or cable internet connection to even be considered for a HBO position.  And you will need to be proficient in data entry in order to pass the test.

You are required to take (and pass) the test to see if you are qualified for the position. This also allows you the chance to see whether you’d enjoy this type of work. They only test 2 times a year, in Jan. and again in Jun or July. There is normally a waiting list for the testing process. So you will want to get your name on the waiting list so that you will be offered the chance to take the test.

You do this by sending a letter of interest to tohair@gafundraising.com. They do not require a resume to be sent. Send a brief email explaining your interest in testing for the Home Based Operator position and make sure to include your contact information.

Once you are contacted to take the test and successfully pass, you will be notified when the next available HBO opening comes up. Again, be forewarned, there may be a long waiting period from when you pass your test until you are finally awarded a Fall contract. They do pull applicants based on testing scores. So preparing by spending time practicing and sharpening your data entry skills before testing would be wise.

Please don’t let my emphasizing of the waiting time discourage you. This is a coveted online data entry job so you have to expect a large group wanting to get in. If you are interested in finding legitimate online data entry work then this is a company worth applying to. By all means do apply, take the test and wait it out.

Because that’s how its done, you’ve planted a good seed, now you wait for it to spout. And soon that time will come for you, a contract offered, most likely when you have forgotten all about it. And this seedling will be a pleasant surprise, one you can appreciate and will want to nurture.  This is a seedling that will lead you to a guaranteed harvest. You now have a ‘Superior’ egg added to your work at home basket.
