By S McIntyre 

One of the most popular work at home job is typing. A lot of people want data entry jobs, but they very rarely exist. There are other alternatives to the highly sought after data entry jobs and you will see how these typing jobs can be a lucrative way to work from home.
Transcription
A popular typing job is general or legal transcription. If you can type at least 60 wpm with accuracy, have a good ear, good command of the English language and very good vocabulary skills; good spelling and good usage of punctuations and this sounds like you then it could be a worthwhile career to look into.
On the other hand, medical transcription requires specialized training, skills and extensive experience. Most times it's required you have to work on-site for at least a year or more before you can transition to working at home.
Proofreading and researching skills are also a plus so you can edit your own work and be a savvy researcher when necessary.

There is an investment if transcribing is what you want to do. You are required to have a foot pedal, headset and a reliable high speed internet access.
Writing
