Have you considered doing data entry work from home as a way to make extra money? If so, then consider some of the alternatives that are likely to actually make you some real money for your efforts, and in all cases work out to be much more than just a minimum wage. Of course this all depends on how fast and efficiently you can type up quality articles.
One alternative to data entry work that you can do at home is to get online and write freelance articles. This is an easy way to make extra money in a short period of time, and this can also show you exactly what is going to be expected in terms of producing a long term income. You have to do the work to get paid. Freelance article writing for a few pennies per word will teach you this in a very clear way. You have to actually make an effort to produce income. It is a good lesson and it will serve you well if you try to make money with your own websites later on.
So I suggest starting with freelance writing and see what you can do. Try to write, say, 10 articles every day. The first day it will probably take you 8 hours to pull this off. If you force yourself to do this every single day, however, within a month or less you should have it down to where 10 articles should only take you 5 hours or much less. This is decent money, even if you are only making a few bucks per article. The reason it is decent money is because you will have the discipline to do it every single day, and in high volume.
As I hinted at, the other alternative to data entry is to build your own websites and optimize them for search traffic. Doing so has huge potential and can make you a ton of money in the long run.
