Transcription is a powerful way to cut costs in internet marketing. Rather than outsourcing article writing, transcribing the content that you’ve already created is a great way to maximize your time and reduce your overall costs.
If you are conducting tele-seminars, webinars, etc. be sure to record those events. Having a transcript provides valuable content for your website or blog without creating new content. Transcripts make great reference documents. A transcript of a tele-seminar, webinar, event, etc. may be the most valuable reference document you have. Because of the abundance of information contained in even an hour-long tele-seminar or webinar, a marketer is able to refer to their transcript in order to create newsletters, articles, web copy, etc. The options are endless when you have documentation of your own words that you are able to search and review in order to create additional helpful documentation for your clients.
Additionally, another powerful benefit to transcribing your content is to provide products for your clients. Transcripts can be posted on your site for your clients to review; transcripts can be turned into eBooks, eZines, blog posts, newsletters, and many other products.
One thing to keep in mind in regard to posting transcripts for your clients’ review is that not all people learn the same. Some people prefer the visualization of video while others are able to contain information through audio. But that still leaves those of us who benefit most by reading. Posting an edited transcript of your tele-seminars, webinars, etc. is a great way for your clients to review your messages and especially helpful for those of us who aren’t great at note-taking.
Transcripts can also maximize your own skills and abilities. Oftentimes an entrepreneur doesn’t realize the way in which they speak and reading their own transcript is a very effective way to increase their speaking skills and abilities. Most transcriptionists do their best to make your transcript an easily flowing and readable document. However, this isn’t always a simple task and sometimes not even an option. Transcripts are a great way for the entrepreneur to review their own words and have a chance to actually READ the words they say and in most cases are able to use the transcript as a learning experience to create more fluent speaking to their clients.
Transcriptionists can be found on several freelance websites including Elance and Odesk, among many others. There is a huge market of transcriptionists charging reasonable rates to turn your audio and video content into a readable format. Its benefits are endless.

“Layla does a great job transcribing my audio into a clean and well produced written format. My business is time sensitive and I need a certain turn around for some of my transcriptions. Layla is able to meet my needs every time, and she is a pleasure to work with."

"Layla, I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate your work on the massive teleseminar project I completed.
As you know, we had 28 hours of content to transcribe from nearly as many speakers. After splitting up the work to 3 different transcriptionists, I very quickly realized that I should have allowed YOU to do all 28 hours!
They layout of your content was exactly what I requested, and after I discovered that I needed to make a change to my original project directions, you quickly went back and made the changes to your original work. The work itself was free of mistakes, had proper grammar, capitalization, and punctuation, and your communication during the entire project was prompt and cheerful.
It was nice knowing that I was working with someone who truly cared about the quality of her work. So, while I am probably shooting myself in the foot by saying this, I won't be surprised if I end up paying more for your services in the near future, as more and more people discover the value and quality of your work!
Take care, God bless, and I look forward to working with you again soon,"
