And while I had no direct experience as a data entry specialist, I had plenty of transferrable data entry skills from my previous roles and even as a budding freelance writer.
At first, I used these basic skills to land entry-level remote data entry clerk gigs where I could gain experience and good client reviews on some of the freelance gig platforms. Here are some of my favorites.
