Eight years ago I was frustrated because I had a toddler and newborn to take care of. I worked as a customer service representative for several Fortune 500 companies, but had to give that up when I moved to New York.
At that time the Customer Service Network (Arise.com) that I contracted with did not have to capabilities to connect to their VOIP service in another state. So I became desperate to find a new avenue that would enable me to work from home and take care of my newborn and toddler.
So I did some research online and found out that Medical Transcription was one of the best ways, especially for a stay at home mom to work from home. What made it so attractive was the fact that it was a career… something I could do for a long time because the demand for Medical Transcriptionists was much greater than the supply.
So I took an offline course and found out I hated Medical Transcription with a passion. I had no medical background and found the terminology that I had to learn in order to be successful in this career was extremely difficult. I am not a quitter, but I knew within myself that this was not for me.
I was devastated and quit the Medical Transcription class. I didn’t know what I was going to do next. I could not put two children in daycare, especially my newborn who was not even two months yet. So I went online and searched and searched for a way out and stumbled upon General Transcription.
At that time, there was not too much information on General Transcription. However, I did some serious research on it and found all the information I needed. I knew right away that this was what I would do because I did not have to learn medical terminology and I did not have to go to school to be able to perform this job. I was desperate to learn how to become a transcriptionist.
I learned that general transcriptionists transcribe documents like general body business meetings, quarterly financial meetings, public issues, conferences, focus groups, investor presentations, TV show transcripts, transcripts for insurance companies, video interviews, TV infomercials, commercials, sermons, etc. I was ecstatic.
So I purchased a General Transcription ebook and I was on my way. It took me approximately two weeks to learn how to transcribe and a total of 30 days to fully learn how to become a transcriptionist with a typing speed of 60 words per minute. So within 30 days after teaching myself how to become a transcriptionist…a general transcriptionist, I mastered it and landed my first job.
To succeed, it’s all a matter of persistence. You see, I studied night and day, whenever my babies were asleep, especially until wee hours in the morning. It was not easy, but what this is nothing compared to going to college for four years, rack up thousands of dollars in student loans, and not guaranteed a job after graduation.
So this means that I was extremely sleep deprived with a newborn who wanted a bottle every two hours. However, I was determined. At the time, I was typing 60 words per minute. So all I had to do was master transcribing. Again…within 30 days of non-stop studying, I got my first job.
I made a mess of my first transcription document though. I had to beg the employer to give me another chance. I told him that if I did not produce high quality work, then they should fire me.
I asked to work for a week with no pay, just to become proficient. And guess what, it worked. I proofread my work so many times. I had my mom and my husband proofread also before I uploaded my work to my employer’s server.
After a few months with NetTranscripts, I was proficient enough to move on to another company that paid me more money and I was able to choose what type of work I wanted.
If you a stay at home mom and you really don’t want to go back to a 9-5 job, nor do you want to start a business from scratch, then I highly recommend general transcription. You can work while keeping your eye on your children.
It’s very rare that you find a career like this that will allow you to work from home whether the economy is good or bad. The salary is not bad either. You can average anywhere from $300-$500 weekly with a typing speed of at least 95 WPM.
I’ve worked at home as a general transcriptionist for 4 years in the past. I worked for quite a few companies. My two favorites were production transcripts and Net Transcripts.
I highly recommend General Transcription because you can actually teach yourself to become proficient in transcribing documents like sermons, business quarterly meetings, documents for insurance companies, TV guide, etc. You don’t have to go to school to learn how to become a general transcriptionist and you can do so in 30 days or less.
