General transcription work from home
HOW TO GET GENERAL, NON-MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION WORK FROM HOME
_WITHOUT_ KNOWING MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY
AND _WITHOUT_ ANY SPECIALIZED TRAINING
From: Leva Duell
Thursday, 10:30AM
Dear Entrepreneurial Typist,
Would you like to make good money typing at home? If you are looking
to earn extra income, work from home and have flexible hours, you
should consider general (non-medical) transcription work from home!
Transcription is one of the most profitable
typing work-from-home opportunities,
and one of the few legitimate ones
You've probably heard about medical transcription, but may not have
heard about general transcription. General and business transcription
is typing or transcribing any kind of dictation that is not medical or
legal. As you read this report, you will be pleasantly surprised at
just how easy it is to provide general and business transcription
services.
If you've looked into medical transcription, you might have been
turned off by the steep learning curve of medical terminology and the
three years of experience that are typically required.
THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT YOU CAN GET GENERAL AND BUSINESS TRANSCRIPTION
WORK FROM HOME _WITHOUT_ KNOWING MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY AND WITHOUT ANY
MEDICAL OR LEGAL EXPERIENCE.
You don't need medical transcription training
YOU CAN START MAKING MONEY ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WITH GENERAL AND
BUSINESS TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES BECAUSE:
* YOU DON'T NEED 6+ MONTHS TRANSCRIPTION TRAINING.
* YOU DON'T waste time, effort and money on expensive medical
terminology courses.
* YOU DON'T NEED MEDICAL OR LEGAL TRANSCRIPTION EXPERIENCE. So, you
can start working from home immediately.
* YOU DON'T NEED A CERTIFICATE, DEGREE OR DIPLOMA.
Why you should consider general transcription work
If you know how to use a computer and word processing program and
know how to type, you can MAKE GOOD MONEY PROVIDING GENERAL
TRANSCRIPTION SERVICES.
Here are some of the benefits you'll enjoy providing business and
general transcription:
There is no formal training required
Employers and clients just want you to be able to do the work
Because there's no legal certification for general or business
transcription, you can get started as a transcriptionist today.
Some employers will test you by having you transcribe a short 5-10
minute audio file. Others will try you out by giving you a non-urgent
paid transcription job - especially if you have some previous
transcription experience. My 13 TIPS TO BUILD CREDIBILITY will help
you get in the door -- even if you're just starting out.
You can start immediately
Because you don't need to learn medical terminology, you can start
making money immediately without wasting months (and money) on
training.
Ideal typing work from home
Providing general transcription is a wonderful work-at-home
opportunity. One of the best ways to get typing work from home,
transcription gives you the freedom to stay at home with your children
and have flexible hours. You can finally realize the dream of working
from home and having complete control of WHEN YOU WORK, HOW MUCH YOU
WORK AND WHO YOU WORK WITH. YOU DECIDE HOW MUCH YOU CHARGE. AND YOU
KEEP ALL THE PROFITS, INSTEAD OF MAKING MONEY FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
Imagine how it will feel to work from the comfort of your home ...
stay at home with your children ... eliminate rush hour traffic ...
commute from the breakfast table to your office in just seconds ... be
your own boss.
Enjoy flexible hours
YOU CAN WORK AS MUCH OR AS LITTLE AS YOU WANT .... WORK FULL-TIME OR
PART TIME .... SET YOUR OWN HOURS. You can work whatever hours you
like, as long as you get the work done. You can work when your
children are asleep or at school. If you can't sleep, you can get up
and work at night and have your days free!
Less stressful than medical transcription
Business and general transcription is typically not as urgent as
medical transcription. This means more realistic deadlines, so you
won't have to rush to finish a job.
Digital transcription means more work
Thanks to digital transcription and new technology, you won't have to
drive to pick up audiocassettes. And taking advantage of the Internet,
you can provide digital transcription work for clients just about
anywhere.
Easy and inexpensive to start
Unlike many home-based businesses that require significant cash to
start, you can begin providing general transcription work with very
little financial investment.
I will tell you WHERE YOU CAN LEGALLY DOWNLOAD FREE TRANSCRIPTION
SOFTWARE that will turn your computer into a transcribing machine and
enable you to listen to digital recordings, rewind, and play it back
at varying speeds. If you already have a computer with Microsoft Word
and a high speed Internet connection, you can get started with a
headset and a digital transcription foot pedal for about $100. I'll
tell you about the best equipment and software available and where to
get it. YOU CAN EVEN START TRANSCRIBING WITHOUT A TRANSCRIPTION PEDAL,
though it will take longer to do the work.
UNLIMITED INCOME POTENTIAL
THE INCOME POTENTIAL OF TRANSCRIPTION IS HIGHER THAN WITH MOST
HOME-BASED WORK. General and business transcription is just as
profitable as medical transcription and it's a lot easier.
INTERESTING WORK
GET INTERESTING WORK ON A WIDE VARIETY OF TOPICS. Business and
general transcriptionists transcribe conferences, interviews and
speeches featuring interesting people and sometimes well-known
authorities.

Work-from-home transcription opportunities have grown phenomenally
thanks to the Internet and new technology
In the past, transcriptionists had to pick up tapes from clients and
drop off the finished work. This limited their market to local work.
Digital dictation equipment, digital transcribers, and fast Internet
access and file transfer methods have changed the transcription
business and dramatically increased home-based transcription
opportunities.
Transcription software turns a computer into a transcribing machine.
User-friendly transcription software lets you read and transcribe
files with ease -- No need to hassle with transcription machines. Foot
pedals for digital transcription work similarly to those used with
cassette transcribers and have similar controls for rewind/play/pause
and fast-forward. Some transcription software even works without a
foot pedal.
TODAY, TRANSCRIPTION JOBS ARE NO LONGER RESTRICTED TO YOUR LOCAL AREA
You can now provide digital transcription for clients anywhere in the
world. THIS MEANS THAT MORE TRANSCRIPTION OPPORTUNITIES ARE AVAILABLE
TO YOU.
CLICK HERE TO BECOME A GENERAL TRANSCRIPTIONIST.
By now, you're probably wondering what it takes to become a general
transcriptionist.
How you can become a general and business transcriptionist ...
and what skills you need
General transcription requires excellent typing, English, grammar,
and spelling skills. You need to be fairly knowledgeable with
computers and MS Word. You need excellent listening skills to type
what you hear from a recording and ensure that the transcript makes
sense. You need fast Internet access to send and receive audio files
over the Internet. And of course, you must be reliable and meet
deadlines.
Your typing speed should be at least 35 words per minute. But the
faster you can type, the more work you can do and the more money
you'll be able to make. Your speed will pick up after only a couple of
transcripts and keep increasing gradually. I'll refer you to some
simple shortcut tools that will speed up your typing skills instantly
by letting you type a couple of characters that "magically" turn into
long words, sentences, and even complete paragraphs.
If you have the required skills, you can provide general and business
transcription services. If your spelling and grammar are lacking, you
can easily improve them by taking classes online or at a community
college.
MY OWN EXPERIENCE SHOWS JUST HOW EASY GENERAL TRANSCRIPTION IS!
Swamped with over 200 hours of transcription work and very tight
deadlines, I called on my friends for help. I needed people who could
type. In addition to a couple of colleagues, 10 typists who had never
done transcription work came to my aid. When verifying their work, I
was pleasantly surprised to see how well and how fast they had
performed their first transcription jobs. A few people had made
spelling mistakes (e.g. using "it's" instead of "its" and "there"
instead of "their"), but a brief edit solved this issue.
If you can type, you can do this. If you need to brush up your
command of grammar and punctuation rules, I'll offer you sources that
make that easy to do.
YOU CAN MAKE GOOD MONEY
If you have ever dreamed of making money typing from home, providing
general transcription is your chance to get paid well for it.
How much you'll make will depend on your typing speed, how much work
you do, how you set your prices, and whom you're working for.
Obviously, you'll make more money working with your own clients than
working for transcription companies. Some transcriptionists make
unlimited income by outsourcing work to other freelancers.
I will tell you how to secure a steady volume of work and what kinds
of industries and businesses make the best transcription clients. My
proven marketing strategies attract clients like a magnet. And, I'll
give you insider information on how to set profitable pricing and
cover a wide variety of situations that may arrive when doing
transcription work.
Transcription is one of the few legitimate ways
to get typing work from home
TRANSCRIPTION IS A REAL, PROVEN SERVICE FOR WHICH BUSINESSES HAVE A
REAL NEED. Transcription is NOT a "get rich quick" scheme. This is NOT
some goofy scam.I don't make false promises. I don't provide
transcription work. My book will show you how to become a freelance
transcriptionist and get your own clients. AND you'll get a proven
arsenal of marketing tools with a solid step-by-step plan to get you
up and earning - _FAST!_
THERE IS A HUGE DEMAND FOR GENERAL TRANSCRIPTION
WHY DO COMPANIES NEED YOU? Because many companies' need for general
transcription is sporadic, rather than pay a full-time transcription
staff, they prefer outsourcing work to freelance transcriptionists
like YOU!
Small and large companies and a wide range of individuals and
organizations outsource transcription to home-based transcriptionists.
PLENTY OF AUDIO INFORMATION NEEDS TO BE TRANSCRIBED. AND I EXPECT THIS
NEED TO PERSIST FOR YEARS TO COME.
YOUR PROSPECTIVE CLIENTS include public speakers, authors, Internet
marketers, universities, the media, consultants, and marketing
companies, to name just a few. General transcription covers a wide
variety of assignment types, such as transcribing meetings,
presentations, interviews, movie scripts, focus group records,
podcasts, and _anything else that can be recorded_.
If you're looking for typing work from home, if you want to enjoy
flexible hours and be in control of how much you work and how much you
make, you should seriously consider general and business transcription
work. Transcription can provide you with a solid income from an
abundance of typing work you can perform in the comfort of your own
home.
WHAT CLIENTS SAY
Leva Duell transcribed a teleseminar interview I did with Dan Poynter
on
book marketing. She is reliable and delivers on time. I liked that
she omitted my "uhs" and other redundant words, as it makes the
transcript clearer and more useful. If you want a professional, use
Leva Duell."

"My motorcycle insurance site requires providing new information to
my visitors every month. Conducting interviews with industry leaders
and having them transcribed makes it easy to create content for my
site. A transcriptionist who can convert the recorded materials into
quality text is a priceless asset! Leva's transcription services are
doing exactly that. Her transcription services are professional,
virtually error-free, and fast! Definitely an invaluable service, and
well worth the cost."

INSIDER TIPS MAKE IT EASY FOR YOU TO GET STARTED
Hi, my name is Leva Duell. I've been providing secretarial and
transcription services for 15 years. TRANSCRIPTION IS THE MOST
PROFITABLE PART OF MY SECRETARIAL BUSINESS. Because I'm the author of
_How to Start a Secretarial Business _and I've been recommending
transcription work, people often ask me questions about how to become
a transcriptionist, how to get started, what equipment and skills are
needed, and how to charge for business transcription.
There is little information available about becoming a general and
business transcriptionist. Most books are about medical transcription,
and they're seriously outdated. I looked hard, and only found
scattered bits and pieces of general transcription information. I
wrote this book to fill this gap and help people who are looking for
legitimate typing work from home.
I MADE A LOT OF MISTAKES AND WASTED A LOT OF TIME AND MONEY
Luckily, a year or two after starting my secretarial and
transcription business, a colleague invited me to an industry
association meeting.
Through this organization, I was able to network with successful
transcriptionists. I collected a lot of insider information, like: how
to get transcription clients.... what kind of clients supply the most
work ... what marketing methods work best .. and how to charge for
transcription. I learned a lot, and I wrote everything down. I am now
able to give back by helping new transcriptionists my proven
fast-track path to success. Do you want transcription work from home
but don't know how to get started?
Maybe you would like to provide transcription services but don't know
where to start. I have enjoyed helping many people start a secretarial
and transcription business, and I can help you too! Many people have
asked me questions about providing general transcription services.
After repeating the same information over and over again, I started
saving the questions and answers. And I compiled all the information
you'll need into this general transcription start-up kit. THE GENERAL
TRANSCRIPTION BIZ-IN-A-BOX brings together all the information you
need to become a transcriptionist, and makes it easy for you to get
started.

I CAN HELP YOU BE SUCCESSFUL FASTER
It took me a long time to build my successful transcription business.
Making use of the secrets I learned, you will become successful a lot
faster than I did. I take you step-by-step and show you how to get
started. Nothing is left out.
I have been running my secretarial and transcription business for 15
years now. I live in Oceanside, California, and work out of my home. I
have transcribed interviews, teleseminars, workshops, presentations,
and many other types of dictations. My phone number is 760-722-0290.
"THINGS BEGAN TO REALLY COME TOGETHER IN MY SECRETARIAL AND
TRANSCRIPTION BUSINESS WHEN I MET LEVA. Leva advised me on pricing,
referred work to me, and answered my many questions. I CAN SAY WITH
ABSOLUTE ASSURANCE THAT IF I HAD NOT MET LEVA, I COULD NOT HAVE MADE
MY BUSINESS WORK.
That's why I think her product is brilliant. You get to pick the
brain of someone who has been successfully operating this type of
business for years. I wish this product had been around when I first
got started! ONE CHALLENGE I HAD BEFORE WAS KNOWING HOW TO PRICE MY
SERVICES. LEVA HELPED ME IMMENSELY IN THAT AREA.
DON'T REINVENT THE WHEEL. INSTEAD, PICK THE BRAINS OF MORE
EXPERIENCED PEOPLE LIKE LEVA."
