First Timer Looking for Data Entry Recommendations..

Hi; first time here.

I've been told by a lot of friends and even family that I could do a data entry job well. I've used computers daily since I was a kid and I love to do work with numbers all the time in regards to sports and politics on my off time so I figured I'd give one of these jobs a try at the least if I can get one.

Two things: 1. Are there any relevant data entry online sites for first timers, and 2. What's the pay like. I'll be grateful for any help or recommendations.

Thanks!
