When I first started my work doing transcription from home, it was about ten years ago and let me tell you, the technology has changed dramatically. But one thing remains, and that is this service is very high in demand. With so many more people entering the field and providing medical transcription services and working from home with their own business, it becomes quite a challenge to find work. But I’ve found a resource where I can definitely get a lead over those who don’t know about it. Why am I telling you about this secret resource where I get my work from?
Let’s get started. First of all, I discovered transcription from home opportunities just as you are doing right now, and it made me excited. Having been trained in the medical field and working in so many different clinics, labs and projects, I was well acquainted with the requirements of a medical transcriptionist and it was not a foreign field to me. What was new to me was the prospect of starting a home based business offering transcription from home services to those colleagues of mine who outsourced their services.
When I started doing transcription from home, I had a computer, which by now is outdated. I remember before when typewriters were used, so using a computer when I started out was pretty advanced, even for the time. But it wasn’t too big of a deal. We used word processors and transcribed dictations. Let me tell you, it requires an in depth understanding of medical terminology, and the patience to be able to do this kind of work!
Transcription from home is a fairly straightforward process, but the most intimidating aspect of working at home is finding clients. Yes, it is a challenge at times to find work, and it is ever so important especially since I have bills to pay, not mentioning the fact that I need to put food on the table. So, where do I find transcription from home work opportunities? Freelance Work Exchange. It’s the only resource I use to find work. And it works!
