I recently hired someone in India to do "data-entry" into our new website:
www.guardyoureyes.org. He charges only $2.50 an hour. Basically, all that is involved is copying the peices of the daily e-mails and pasting them into our Word-Press blog into the proper categories. Like "Tip of the Day", "Torah thought of the day", "12-Step attitude", etc... There are 10 categories on our website, and it's not a hard job. The price is cheep, but the thing is, he is an Indian and the things we discuss in our daily e-mails are all Chinese to him, even though he reads English Ok. I was trying to "train" him into the job, but I think that no matter how much I tell him, he will get a lot of things wrong and still not know what category things belong in... I was thinking that it would be a lot better if someone on this forum would do it, for a few reasons.
1) Someone in our community would understand much better what category things belong.
2) Someone would also be gaining while working by reading over the material a bit.
3) Someone here could be getting a big zechus in doing this, while this Indian guy doesn't get anything from it.
4) Someone with better English skills might find minor mistakes and fix them when necessary.
If anyone here wants to take this job of a half hour a day, we would be willing to pay for it. I would also train you into the job through Skype and ShowMyPC.
To take the job I need a few things.
1) Computer proficiency
2) Decent writing skills
3) At least 3 months on GYE and reading the daily e-mails (to understand the style)
4) Good recovery (not perfect, but well on the way... i.e. not someone who is gonna give up and leave one day, just like that)
5) Someone very trustworthy (since passwords to our site will be necessary)
6) A commitment of at least half an hour a day, 4 times a week (preferably 5). Unless, of course, you are sick or on vacation...
If you are interested, please post here or send me an e-mail. Thanks!
