Typing speeds are one of the basic skills one must boast of or improve when applying for Internet and technology-based jobs. Jobs in data entry, customer and contact centers, even technical support for offshore clients not only demand a proficiency in English or another foreign language but also the capacity to utilize an alphanumerical keyboard for faster processing of data.

If you’re the type of person who looks at the keyboard while typing, your typing speed is probably equal to that of a four year old learning how to use a computer. Touch typing, the skill most companies are looking for in an applicant, is only as impressive as it is easy to learn. Memorizing the position of keys is not the only the secret to mastering this art as there are other factors that can help you speed up.

Starting Position
When using standard QWERTY keyboard, make sure you position your fingers on the starting points. The letters J and F have upraised little knobs on them that serve as positioning guides for your index fingers. Once in place, you can learn to use the correct fingers for the appropriate keys without them getting into each other’s way.

Tutorials
Use PC-based or on-line tutorial games. You can choose from the colorful interactive versions to make learning to type fast fun or take direct and professional courses to improve your skills. Free downloads of typing programs such as Typing Master Pro are available on the net as well as other typing speed testing sites.

Posture-perfect
Get comfortable not only with the keyboard but with your sitting position as well. Choose an ergonomic keyboard if this will lessen the stress on your digits. Keep your wrists off the table to ensure faster movement of your hands. Sit up straight and plant your feet on the floor. Relieving tension from certain parts of your body not only lessens the physical strain but improves your typing speeds as well.

Practice makes perfect.
Start with simple phrases such as the generic “quick brown fox” exercise to other literary material. Pretty soon your 20 wpm may charge onto a 70wpm fit for high speed data encoding with minimal mistakes to slow you down.

Data entry jobs have proven to be the most convenient occupations on the virtual market these days. The Internet is not only a convenient highway on which to send and receive your data faster, but is also a valuable research tool that can enrich and make one’s job significantly easier. Choosing an employment status in this profession would entail a lot of consideration of the pros and cons of each option.

Freelancing as a data encoder is one employment option that can work for and against an individual. Being employed under freelance or contractual status would give one the freedom to pursue other interests or money-making opportunities. As a free-lance data encoder, you have the privilege of working at your own pace and at a desired time, as long as you can meet a deadline. There are no binding contracts that can stifle an individual who thrives on variety. However, going freelance also has its downsides. Working as a contractual-based data encoder is project-based, meaning you only get paid when they give you assignments. This could work in a good way if you’re out to fulfill short term goals but would have harder repercussions if this is the only source of income that you rely on.

Full-time regular data entry jobs on the other hand reward you with the benefits and pay for regular employees minus the clutter and chaos of a regular administrative job. You can engage in regular entry jobs in an office or in a home-based situation depending on the company’s demands. Regular data entry jobs that are home-based are suitable occupations for new moms who are not yet capable of going back to the office. One can be able to earn as much as a regular office worker (or even more in some cases) without having to leave the comforts of your own home. The costs and hassles of commuting to and from work everyday are annihilated, and since you will be taking care of your own kids, the household help can go as well. Not only have you created a means for you to earn your own money, you can significantly contribute to your family’s finances without compromising your roles and responsibilities as a parent.
