Mammoth AwardsMany people have opened their eyes to the benefits of working from home, especially this year, when many were forced to do so. What benefits does working at home offer versus a traditional job?
First, you get more control over your schedule. Second, you can cut transportation and food costs since you’ll be in the comfort of your home. And third, you can save a ton on childcare costs if you have kids, while also having more time to spend with them.
If you’ve never worked at home before and are looking for online work, you may be wondering how to find a job if you have no experience. And while there are plenty of routes you can take to start working online, one of the best for beginners is data entry.
Can data entry be dull work? Sure, as you may find it repetitive. But if you’re looking to build an online work resume so you can move up the ladder, it’s not a bad place to start.
Where can you find data entry opportunities? Here are some of the bigger names in the business that you can contact to see what they’re looking for:

2. Working Solutions
