Digital File Types for Audio Transcription

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 19:53:02 +0000

There are a array of recording systems available, acceptable for dictation to appointment recording. There is a good chance that it will record a variety of different file types for different purposes if you already have a digital recording mechanism. This commodity aims to altercate these altered types and advance the appropriate one for you, depending on your circumstances. If you are still considering which digital recording device to purchase then you have the opportunity to consider the file types it will produce before you buy.

You can tell by looking at the file extension if you do not know what file types you are working with. This is the set of three belletrist that chase the dot, as in, for example, ‘interview.wav’

The different file types all have advantages and disadvantages for digital transcription services, the most obvious of which is a trade-off between quality and file size. Sound files can be very, very large if they are not compressed, but compression is ‘lossy’; in other words a complete or ‘lossless’ audio file has been taken and compressed, which removes data that is considered redundant, resulting in reduced audio quality, which can cause problems for the transcriber.

It may initially assume accessible that you and your transcriptionist appetite the best affection but in fact, abounding lossy formats accept a negligible affection accident but are abundant abate files. The advantage of a 2MB file, as opposed to one 40MB in size, should be obvious if you are planning to email files for transcription to your transcriptionist! No complete book of any breadth is small, but at atomic it is accessible to email a 2MB book for transcription. Most service providers will not allow a 50MB file through, and even if they did it could take hours to download, blocking both your email and your transcriptionist’s. More and more transcriptionists are using a system which bypasses email; you can either upload files directly to their website or send your files using a simple file transfer programme. However, even these options have limits to the file sizes as a rule.

It also worth noting that depending on the playback software being used for audio transcription Melbourne, your transcriptionist may only be able to play back certain file types. Some awning about all agenda book types while others are added limited, so it is account blockage first.

The ‘right’ book blazon and attributes for you and your transcriptionist will additionally depend on what the purpose of your recording is. If it is a dictation, a lower sound quality will still provide a clear enough recording for a audio transcription Brisbane.

If you are recording a focus group, for example, area several bodies are built-in at altered distances from the recorder and speaking at altered levels and pitches, you will apparently charge a college complete affection to board this.

Your recording equipment may allow you to set different attributes for the same file type. This can make an enormous difference to the sound quality and size of the file, and consequently the transcription quality. In some cases, for example dictation (one person speaking into machine, in a quiet environment) you can probably afford to loose sound quality and the recording will still be clear for transcription. In added cases (focus groups, blatant environments) you may acquisition you charge to accept a hardly beyond book admeasurement in adjustment to advance appropriate complete quality.

Attributes are generally apparent as Hz. 8,000kHz address is acceptable for dictation and the ambit goes up to 44,100kHz stereo, which is the top quality, acclimated for music CDs.

How to Set Your General Transcription Rates

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 19:52:32 +0000

While some medical and legal transcription Brisbane rates may be based on the typed line, rates for general transcription are usually based on the audio minute or audio hour – the amount of recorded material in a particular audio file and those rates can vary depending on the type of material, the content or even the industry the audio files are coming from.

For instance, some audio files may be from an individual who dictated notes for a novel or personal journal, while transcript projects may require a lot of industry specific research for terms and phrases outside of normal everyday language. So while some transcriptionists may set their rates according to complexity and research time, others simply charge a flat rate no matter what the content or how complex it is. It just makes for easier bookkeeping in the long run.

Many alpha transcriptionists set their archetype ante at the lower end of the calibration to get started in the business, again access their ante according to their akin of acquaintance and accomplishment in the field.

But whether you’re ambience your ante as a business buyer or you’re attractive to booty on overflow assignment from a beyond archetype company, you appetite to accomplish abiding you’re accepting paid a appropriate amount after undercharging or shortchanging yourself aloof because you’re new to the field. You certainly don’t want to work for less than minimum wage just because you’re new to general audio transcription Brisbane.

So use this basic formula to get a range in mind of what you should charge new clients or what you should be looking for in the way of taking on overflow work:

* It may take a new transcriptionist anywhere from five to seven hours to transcribe a one-hour audio file, including research for industry specific terms and phrases.
* I alone accept you absolutely should not be earning beneath than $10 per accounting hour today. General archetype is a career. It’s not just a “typing from home job,” and it deserves better than minimum wage. Most beyond archetype companies that outsource their accumulated archetype pay about $40 to $45 per audio hour, which by industry standards at four hours to blazon one hour of audio, that comes out to about $10 per accounting hour. So that should be the complete minimum you should allegation your audience or the atomic bulk you should acquire in acquittal for overflow work. Once you’ve confused above the “entry level” date you should be charging a lot added per hour.
* So to earn at least in the range of $10 per typing hour, figure out the minimum length of time it takes you to transcribe one audio hour, then multiply that by $10. You’ll begin to get higher paying clients and you can start raising your transcription rates accordingly as you get faster and more proficient.

Again, remember, general digital transcription service is not just a type at home job. It is a career choice and compensation for your time should be no less than if you were doing transcription in someone else’s office.

Horizontal Or Vertical Business Models: Which Is Right For You?

admin — Sat, 13 Mar 2010 00:49:28 +0000

I recently received this unsolicited email from Craig Shinney (slightly edited to protect identities) –

I just wanted to write to tell you that about one year ago, I started getting into Internet marketing and experimenting with all sorts of different methods of the various types of blogs and tools that all the different marketers recommend. It was an amazing journey.

The reason I’m writing is to say that you were the first “expert” to catch my attention. I read through your archives almost religiously before branching out to other marketers. After putting up a bunch of crappy websites (that did in fact make me some money), I have since completely abandoned reading anything by those other marketers and have remained a faithful reader of your blog.

I’ve since come to the conclusion that it’s all about creating quality content, as you instruct your readers to do, not “trick” your visitors into buying something you’re not at all an expert on, written by Filipinos who can’t even use proper English.

Obviously Craig is generalizing when he talks about Filipinos, as there are no doubt plenty who can use proper English and are subject matter experts. The point he’s making is that many marketers teach a business model that relies on using outsourcers, who often don’t have English as a first language, to create ebooks and other information products, which are then sold online using clever marketing.

The quality of these information products is sometime suspect, yet with the right marketing process, including some good copywriting, sales will come.

There’s nothing inherently wrong about this model. You find a need in the market, then use other people to create products to meet that need. Your job is to wear the marketer’s hat, do the research, find demand then put the pieces together to serve that demand, then rinse and repeat.

I call this a horizontal business model because instead of going deep in just one industry, the strategy is to move from market to market, creating websites and products to sell to unrelated industries until you have a small army of small income streams. If each website you set up can make $200 a month in profit, then you only need ten or twenty successful implementations of this system to reach “quit your job” money.

This model has proven very successful for many people and is taught in various forms as an entry strategy into the world of Internet marketing.

I’ve promoted many courses that teach a version of this system, with the most successful from my point of view being Nice Profit Classroom. If you want a much more detailed breakdown of this strategy, check out my interview with Adam Short, the creator of Niche Profit Classroom.

Why I Chose To Go Vertical

The system I teach to people, which Craig touched on when he mentioned creating consistent quality content, is to go vertical in your market (or “go deep” as I have previously written about).

However going vertical is about more than just creating quality content, it’s about market domination through consistency and long term asset building.

Only briefly early on in my online career did I chase the horizontal strategy. For a very short few weeks I thought I might strike it rich with Pay Per Click marketing in AdWords, to send traffic to landing pages and then offer affiliate products or send that traffic to pay per lead offers.

If I could “crack the code” that so many other AdWords experts had supposedly done, I could set up campaign after campaign and spend $1 to make $1.10 back. I would essentially go horizontal across different markets using a PPC traffic generation strategy, which today is still taught and used by many marketers to make millions of dollars online.

I quickly realized that I much preferred to develop a meaningful connection with a small group of people – my tribe or community – who I would foster and help, often for nothing in return other than the recognition that I was helping people. Emails like that from Craig certainly help motivate me, so thanks Craig.

Obviously I wanted to make a living too, but thankfully I had the patience to do one thing online for a period of time without much financial reward, because I could see where I was going, and enjoyed what I was doing. That, and I had already built a successful online business that was paying the bills, so the pressure was off when it came to blogging and carving out my place as an expert.

Therein lies the challenge of “selling” what I currently teach. Pitching hard work using concepts that are essentially a foreign language, is not going to convert well. Yet when I talk about my system of going vertical into just one industry, long term asset building, establishing authority and then leveraging it to create multiple stable income streams around the one identity, that’s what I’m selling – hard work.

The horizontal strategy is easier for beginners to come to grips with and has a much higher likelihood of returning some income in a shorter time frame…and let’s face it, selling hype works when you are dealing with an uneducated, insecure and susceptible crowd, looking for a way out of their current life. It’s easier to offer a taste of the dream, rather than explain the reality of what’s ahead of them.

The Best Of Both Worlds

In my case, I prefer the vertical path because I’m more creative writer than I am scientific number cruncher. Hence when I talk to a guy like Jeremy Schoemaker (Shoemoney), who loves the numbers, I feel a sense of envy at the relative ease that he can turn a profit just tweaking conversion rates.

Of course it’s possible to have the best of both worlds and Jeremy is a great example of someone who has both leveraged his love of pure marketing and profit creation, as well as create a brand and community around himself. However you will understand after a conversation with Jeremy that writing to his blog is not his first love, he much prefers the testing and tweaking of what makes him money.

Again, there’s nothing wrong with any of these models or motivations, what’s important is that you understand what you are getting yourself into and what motivates you.

Transitioning To A Vertical Model

Here’s why I don’t like the horizontal model -

You need to enjoy the research process, and if you’re not into keyword research, PPC analysis and looking at numbers in general, you’re going to struggle to find profitable niches (finding just one is hard enough, let alone several).
You don’t create significant barriers to entry and often your success is based purely on your ability to enter markets undiscovered by other people, for the time being. You can set something up and then move on, but understand that eventually your profit will erode because you haven’t created a true platform to stand on, you’re just taking advantage of latency in a market due to lack of competition. Eventually more work is required to compete, which doesn’t fit the horizontal strategy.
Distraction is the norm because horizontal is all about finding new markets. Entrepreneurs who enjoy the start-up phase of a business can find the constantly changing focus exciting, but if you can’t make something work, the lack of reward will result in floundering around without making much money. Sometimes the only way to make solid profit is to go deep because you need the leverage that only comes from scale.
Personally, only a few subjects in my life are interesting. This is probably the main reason why I have to go vertical in one market rather than spread myself across multiple niches – I simply don’t care about enough subjects to spread my energy that way. As a result of living a very flexible lifestyle, it takes a lot to get me to do work – I have to really LOVE what I’m doing to stick to it for long enough, which is why I treasure the combination of intrinsic and financial rewards gained from becoming someone valued in a community.

Everyone Needs Recognition

One thing I’ve noticed lately is marketers who are successful at making money, eventually realize that they want more than just the money – they want recognition too.

A primary motivation every human being has is the desire to have meaning to other people, and just selling ebooks created by other people quietly from your home is not going to feed this desire.

Once you start making money, you may find yourself with motivation to share your knowledge and experience with other people – to actually participate in your community and perhaps even establish yourself as an expert.

Sure, you still want to get paid to teach and talk about what you do, you wouldn’t be an entrepreneur if that wasn’t true, but an equally important desire is to have people benefit from what you create and for you to experience the return from this – to see the outcomes other people experience and feel warm and fuzzy on the inside as a result.

This is a wonderful thing, it forces us to care about other people beyond ourselves, even though ultimately we are doing it because it makes us feel good. As long as we all benefit, you can’t complain right?

So Which Model Is Right For You?

I’m not going to advocate you choose one business model over another because your personality and current life situation dictates what is best, right now, for you.

What I do want you to take away from this is an understanding of the advantages of going deep and following a vertical focus into one industry.

The financial and personal gains from doing this can be quite significant. You will feel that you are building something you care about, which can motivate you to do extraordinary things, like write new blog posts to your blog each and every week for five years. That might seem incredible right now – yet most people manage to go to a job they hate five days a week, 9 to 5, for years, which to me, is much more incredible, but not in a good way.

If you’re going to put effort into something in your life, make it something worthwhile.

Do You Want A Copy Of My Definitive Guide To SEO For Bloggers?

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:23:32 +0000

It was early 2006. I had been blogging for over a year and felt I had achieved something.

My blog had recently surpassed 1,000 RSS subscribers (what is RSS), making it at the time the most popular website I had ever built. The income was solid – up to $2,000 a month at best – and it was growing. I loved what I was doing.

My plan, based on all the Internet marketing advice I studied from the experts to “create a product”, was to start by releasing an ebook to test the waters as my first product. I had already begun to grow my email list, focusing on the idea of teaching other bloggers how to build traffic, since I felt that was something I was becoming good at.

One of the keys to my success with traffic was how well I was doing in organic search results. I was literally famous in the Internet marketing space because all the top Internet marketers would find my blog when searching for their name or their products or terms related to our industry.

This is incredibly powerful leverage, if you want to meet important people in your industry, or as an affiliate marketing technique, because you can just write about something often enough if you want a top ranking for a certain term or name.

My blog’s solid search engine performance has continued as a trend today, with about half the traffic I attract to this blog still coming from Google search queries. Considering how much more competitive the environment is now, with so many blogs on the same topic as this one, I consider my consistency an achievement.

I don’t really talk about Search Engine Optimization (SEO) much on this blog anymore, mainly because I don’t believe much has really changed over the past few years. The fundamentals are still the fundamentals. You will find plenty of articles on SEO in my archives under the SEO category if you’re keen for study materials.

However, SEO was a huge part of my early studies of Internet marketing, primarily focused on attracting more traffic to the business I used to own, BetterEdit.com, a proofreading service. When I was running that business, 50% of new client acquisition came from Google search, which was important – it made the business much more hands off for me to run when you have a steady stream of customers coming in without advertising expense.

As a result of the focus I had back then and the results with my blog, I considered myself half-decent at SEO. By no means was I an expert, and I certainly didn’t pretend to be one, but I felt I knew enough that I had something to share.

As a result of this, my intended first product, was to be an ebook called “The Definitive Guide To SEO For Bloggers“, which as you can guess, was designed as a guide to help bloggers improve their search engine rankings and attract traffic from Google and the other search engines. The ebook was almost complete and I even went so far as to have a cover created for it, which you can see inset (including the big haired, old suit photo version of me).

The book was never sold publicly because I decided to release a course on traffic. I can’t really remember why I decided to switch gears so late in the development of this product. It could have been because I thought selling a course at a higher price would make more money, but it was more likely due to some kind of fear based decision making or distractions. I just didn’t have the follow-through at the time to do a launch.

I registered the domain name BlogTrafficSchool.com, which I still own, and focused on releasing that program instead.

Of course if you know my story, the product never saw the light of day either, so I ended up having a 75% complete course on Blog Traffic, and a near complete ebook on SEO for blogs. Thankfully the third time I finally got something out the door, and released Blog Mastermind as my first product. The rest is history.

Definitive Guide To SEO For Bloggers – Revamped And Ready For Release

I recently began reviewing my ebook on SEO for blogs and was quite impressed to see that it’s still full of fantastic advice. It only requires about 10% revision work and I believe it could become one of the most helpful, and true to my style – simple guides – to follow on how to get more traffic from Google to your blog.

The book is over 100 pages and includes insights into how search engines work, how to optimize the internal structure of your blog, some very solid advice on linking strategies – including 75 link building techniques, with some case studies of my own experience using them – a quick launch checklist, and more.

It’s all content of course, direct from my experience and research, into your hands.

So do you want a copy?

I will release the book for sale later in the year, however I have some good news for you if you want a copy now.

I’m going to include a fully revised and updated version of my Definitive Guide To SEO For Bloggers to every person who joins Membership Site Mastermind by Tuesday the 16th of March at midnight Eastern US time.

This is the primary bonus (there’s more below) I’m throwing in as an enticement and I can’t think of a more powerful companion ebook to go along with the membership site course.

To launch your membership site you’re going to need an audience, and using a well search engine optimized blog has to be the most affordable (almost free) and long-term viable technique available. You just need to do the work, and the Definitive Guide To SEO For Bloggers explains this in some detail.
