Hi Mary,

Certainly. Medical Transcription is much more involved than this type of General Transcription which is just typing.

And, with every type of business, the hard part is marketing yourself, which is where some good old-fashioned networking will come in handy.

Pricing varies. You can charge by the hour (in the audio) or by hour (in your actual typing time). In the course, there are practice audios so you’ll be able to figure out exactly how long it takes you to transcribe an hour long audio.

The place where I find most of my helpers is http://www.MomsMastermind.com since I get to know the ladies personally before hiring them. You can also run specials on some of the busier marketing forums like http://WarriorForum.com to attract clients.

Are you signed up for my course at http://www.WebTrafficBasics.com? Most of those ideas will also work for Service Professionals. Take a peek.

Warmly,
Nicole

Hi Nicole,

I have been thinking about doing this for a long time, but I didn’t know how to go about getting prospects and how to price the services. I heard about the home typing scams going around. Also, some people that did take medical transcription courses, still couldn’t get work, they needed some sort of certification, that wasn’t explained to them when they started the course.

Thanks so much for putting this all together.

Warm regards,
Mary

I agree Nicole. I find it hard to absorb as much material with audio than text. So I listen to the audios (usually multiple times) but when I’m ready to take action, I need text to highlight.
