Work at home data entry jobs are fairly self explanatory. They are jobs undertaken by contractors who provide data entry services to service buyers. Contact and payment is made by using features of the Internet. Data entry services are usually arranged through an intermediary online rather than from face to face contact with the service buyer. Some sites that are set up as brokerage sites include the capability to use an escrow account to protect both buyer and provider. A work for hire contract is often prepared between two parties and will specify what work will be provided and what the pay rate will be.
