Hi there, I just wanted to jump in this new brave world of freelancing and there is no better way than doing data entry and analysis. Currently I am doing research in field of paleoclimatology. I just wanted to do projects for fun, yeah I know what is fun in doing data entry. But since I'm a beginner and there is excruciating competition in even simple menial jobs therefore may be earning some reputation and creating a portfolio is not that bad idea. Ping me if you have work related to academia, simple data entry or any related projects :)
