This arrangement affords me the chance to have a rewarding career and not be remiss in my duties as a mother and wife. This way, I do not have to sacrifice career over family. At home, I can be hands-on in both fields. I just went out to look for an avenue where I can capitalize on my strengths and earn a decent living out of it. I saw the opportunity in podcast transcription, because I have the facility for the language, the love for research, and the attention to detail that this work calls for. While I know that there are established transcription companies out there, my edge is that I am operating a personal, dedicated service. I am not threat to them because I believe the market is big enough to accommodate a single venture such as mine. Also, I can give a level of focus and time that no one else can. Rest assured I can meet your deadlines and still produce quality transcriptions because there is nothing else that preoccupies my time. Because I am not otherwise employed, I can devote all my time to this endeavor, and I am eager to start as soon as possible. If you deem me worthy, my services are there for the asking. All I ask is that you give me a try and feature me as well so I can generate some level of awareness and have a small share of the market.

I use Kate Smalley's services at Connecticut Secretary, http://www.connecticutsecretary.com for those of you who are interested, and I have found her services to be the most reasonable and effective in my searches. I don't understand what is so complicated about the process. I give her my podcasts in either mp3 or WAV format, through her server or uploaded to mine, and in a day or two I get a completed transcript. It just isn't worth my time to be sitting for hours at end typing my own transcripts when I can hire her to do them and go out and make money running my business and generating new accounts. The transcripts put on my webpage are invaluable for getting search engine traffic and allowing visitors to learn more about my services, plus those with hearing problems love to have the transcript to read.
