Casual Articles - Do You Have What It Takes to be a Freelance Transcriptionist--The 5 Things You Must Have to Suceed
Every new job has a learning curve. This is why quick learners are worth their weight in gold. One of the biggest costs of bringing on a new hire into a company is training. There is always a cost. Maybe you have the formal education and experience for the position but there will be certain things that are specific for this position. That means it will take at least a minimal amount of time to train you to their way of doing things. The price tag depends on how long it takes to get you to the point where the employer is making money off of you all the time. You had better be able to demonstrate to the employer that you adapt to new working environments and procedures in minimal time.This shouldn’t

It has been said that one of the greatest fears people hold is speaking in front of a group of people, yet we seem to have no shortage of public speakers. There is a kind of speaking that inspires greater fear. This is the fear of having a real conversation.Conversation is when two or more people talk openly and honestly, listen deeply to each other, and reach a common understanding. Agreement is nice, but irrelevant. The art of conversation is not about getting someone to agree with you. It is about seeking and finding a common understanding.The first goal in conversation is to understand the thinking of the other person. The second goal is to articulate one's own thinking in a way the othe
What now?
First, you should know that there is no magic pill. It does take time, effort, belief in yourself and perseverance.
When I started applying for transcription positions and bidding on jobs, it took a solid two months before I landed a single $40 job. Granted, I was working full time and didn’t have a lot of time to devote to my search. But I can’t tell you how many times over the span of that two months that I considered giving up. Happy as I am now that I stuck with it, I could have easily given up and walked away from my work-at-home dream forever.
But you can do it. You just have to be realistic about your strengths, willing to work through your weaknesses, and have the “sticktoitiveness” to hang in there even when think you’ll never get where you want to be.
I can’t stress enough the importance of being honest with yourself. In taking the leap into working for yourself, you have to know that you are the only part of the puzzle that matters.
Any prospective employer would gauge your suitability for a position based on your abilities and personality. As your own prospective employer, you must do the same. Transcription, and more importantly working for yourself, isn’t for everyone.

Knowing your NICHE MARKET and where to find your NICHE is more important than the product you sell.Most Netpreneurs take a narrow view of NICHE MARKETING as a limitation on their business, when in fact it is the POWER that provides longevity to their business.The biggest mistake most new netpreneurs make online is that they have no idea where, or what, there NICHE MARKET is and therefore, sell their product to everyone and anyone and in the end sell to no one.A common misconception is that – if you build it they will come. The truth is you have to find your NICHE and get them to come to your site.In talking to new netpreneurs the first question I ask is who are you selling to?

If you’re like most people, you’ve never written a press release to call attention to a success you’ve had.And rightly so.But some of you should be sending out press releases or encouraging your company to promote things that you and your group are doing because they are significant.And most of you can be doing the next best thing to a press release:The periodic noteAn old friend of mine would mail a note to all of her friends bring them up-to-date on the things that were going on in her life, her professional successes, accomplishments and, occasionally, the frustrations.

In this third part I will be looking at the next two questions from my original list documented in part 1 of, questions you should be asking of the commercial cleaning companies tendering for your cleaning contract. Will the cleaning be supervised and how often? If the contract only requires 1 – 2 cleaners then inspections should be carried out weekly. Once the contract has been up and running for some time and the cleaners have settled into a good routine then it may be possible to visit only monthly. Contact between the supervising individual and you the client is entirely dependant upon your wishes If the clean is going well then the majority of clients do not want to be bother

There are two things you have to consider: If transcription is the right work-at-home job for you and if working at home suits your personality. In this article, we’ll cover what you need to be a transcriptionist.
The absolute most important skill you need to become a transcriptionist is a good ear. You have to have the ability to actually hear and understand what the person is saying. If you don’t have that then I’m sorry, transcription isn’t for you. Your typing speed, English skills, and dedication just don’t matter if you can’t hear what you’re supposed to be transcribing.
A good example of this is if you decide to try your hand at medical transcription or accept clients from other regions or countries. Accents vary widely, even within the same country. It does take good hearing and brain processing power to be able to understand what they’re saying.
You may also receive "bad" audio. Although thanks to new technology most sound files are crystal clear, there may be some background noise or distortion. Unless the sound quality is so bad that you just can’t transcribe it, you have to be able to understand the voices and translate them to print.
Ask yourself these questions:
When you watch the news, do you sometimes have a hard time making out what someone with a different accent is saying?
If a friend calls you from their cell phone and the connection is fuzzy, can you make out their voice mos
