Answer: You refer to local newspaper advertisements in classified column, magazines, journals and websites. You have mentioned that you have good typing skills in English and Hindi. Beyond this you should have knowledge in computer typing in word processing program or in any other program. For that you should learn the course in any institute then it will be easy for you to work on computer.

You can do any work given if you have good skills in all the programs like typing articles, data entry etc. Some people will give you the work in English and some others will give to type in Hindi. Computer typing can be done either in office or at home also with internet connection. A little investment you should do for this. If you want to work in the office there is no need of purchasing your own computer.

You go through all the advertisements given above and read carefully and note down the contact numbers, email ID and their office address. Then you email them regarding your information like attaching in the email your curriculum vitae for requesting the work to do. If they like your curriculum vitae you have been given a test which you should pass that to take bulk work or on daily basis. If you did not submit the work in time, you may not get any payment for the work done. So always keep in mind to submit the work in time..
