Typing Jobs Work At HomeInformation and advice on how to work at home or locally doing typing jobs: If you are good at typing, know your way round Microsoft Word and Office and can handle spreadsheets then you have a skill that people will pay for. You can earn cash payments for typing at home or in someone's home or office. For example some authors, like Jeffrey Archer, still write their novel manuscripts in longhand in notebooks. They will then pay someone to type the manuscript out, provide a printed hard copy and several saved discs and pen drive copies. Though a top author will most likely have their own personal assistant there are still authors and writers who are looking for someone to type their work. This could be on a freelance or regular basis. There are also people like University or College students who will pay someone to type and set out their thesis and study work. They may not have learnt the correct way to lay out their course work and will invest some of their fees to pay someone who knows how to do this so that they can gain valuable extra marks for presentation. Do look out for websites that will allow you to register your CV for free and be viewed by prospective employees such as authors, managers and other people looking for skilled and qualified typists and secretaries. Another skill that you can earn money from is the ability to type from tapes or live dictation. Some authors and writers prefer to dictate their work into a dictaphone or out loud as someone types because they have the ability to visualise their work and can narrate it out loud faster than they can type. They will pay someone to type out a presentable version of their work. Some top writers have never learnt the skills of typing or using a computer and have no wish to learn, no matter how successful they have become. They would rather pay someone to do the typing for them. It may sound remarkable that in the day of notepads, notebooks, personal computers, the internet, etc that people still need to pay someone to type, but the truth is there is still typing work readily available. How Much To Charge For Typing WorkA realistic charge for normal work would be about £4 per thousand words. Some typists charge an hourly rate of pay. You can negotiate fees with your client and could charge a bit extra for work needed in a hurry. You may want to agree on expenses such as paper, ink cartridges, pen drives, CDs, disks etc. If you do not intend to charge your clients for these costs you should add these to your income tax expense sheets along with any computer and printer equipment you have had to purchase or replace. Any repair work should also be added to your tax expense sheets. This should be at a percentage if any equipment or office supplies are used in your personnal life or used by other members of your family. Income earnt from typing at home or freelance should be declared on your self assessment annual tax return. Typing work at home would suit a secretary who is looking for additional work or is retired and wants to supplement a pension. It would also suit people with typing skills who can produce excellent work such as formal letters, essays, spreadsheets, manuscripts, etc. Do read the work with the client so that you can understand their handwriting or listen to the tape so that you can understand the dialect and accent. It would be a good idea to get a telephone or mobile phone contact number so that any words, sentences and chapters can be easily interpreted and clarified. Do use a spell checker and save any files so that corrections can easily be made at a later date. If changes are requested by the client, other than errors, then you should make a small charge for this. Agree to delivery and collection details, timings and dates. If you need to post any work do ensure it is in a protected envelope or box and get a receipt for the postal costs for your expenses. Important documents should be sent by special delivery to ensure prompt and safe delivery. If you hand deliver the work you should claim mileage on your expense sheet or charge this to the client.

Type For Local WritersContact local publishers and printers who often publish vanity books for local people who want to publish a book, often of local interest, to sell locally. Such writers will welcome a professional typist to not only type out their work professionally but to proof read their manuscript. I often read locally published books and am appalled by the common spelling and grammatical errors. It seems the printers do only that - print the book without correcting any errors. A good typist should be able to work with the writer and the printer to help them produce a well read and presented vanity published book which can only help increase sales. Your services will help the writer sell more books, so do charge a professional fee. Typing Jobs where you can work from home is an open opportunity and with a bit of research, some local advertising and seeking work using the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook you should
secure regular work which should expand through word of mouth. Do the small jobs whilst waiting for larger work because these small payments soon add up and may
lead to more word of mouth work. Who knows the student whose work you typed out one year may write a book one day and may need a typist. Consider placing an advert
in your local newspaper offering your services as a professional typist and or proof reader. A small advert need only cost less than your first assignment and
gets you known locally. Some colleges and universities may have an internal newsletter, paper or bulletin board you could advertise on, sometimes for free but
certainly a lot cheaper than newspaper advertising fees.
You may also find the Proofreading and Copy Editing Page useful as a source of additional income. Typing CourseWhatever your level of typing expertise it is worth spending some time taking a typing course whether locally or online. There is even an online typing course which can be done for free at certain websites to help with your typingjobs. Such a free online typing course can often include a touch typing course, an audio typing course, RSA typing course and a speed typing course. A typical free typing course will start with basic typing lessons and progress through to advanced typing lessons. Do look out for those that offer free lessons and free typing exercises which should include number pad lessons, copy practice and typing speed tests. As your online typing course progresses you can assess the speed by which you touch type and you should see this get faster as your free typing course progresses. Other lessons on a typical online typing course may include help and tips to avoid a repetitive strain injury (RSI), a guide to the home row, ie the keyboard keys of A S D F J K and L, which fingers to use for which keys on the keyboard or typewriter, a guide to punctuation, numbers and symbols and finger exercises. Many of the free typing course websites will use a colour coded keyboard chart to help you remember which fingers go where when typing. By being able to touch type efficiently and quickly you can secure more typing jobs to enable you to work from home. |
