Transcription

I occasionally get an email asking me if I actually still participate in some of the various sorts of work that talk about on the job lists, such as data entry and transcription. It surprises people to learn that, even though I do many different things, with incredibly varying pay scales, the truth is that I still do quite a bit of typing and data entry work.

As an example, I did about 90 minutes of transcription a few days ago for an attorney.

Here’s the really nice thing about transcription and data entry work, as compared to things like field inspecting, mystery shopping, blogging, surveys, etc., etc. When it comes down to having a stable BASE of income, it’s hard to beat the things that look more and more like a regular job. Once you’re established with a data entry or from-home customer service agency, for example, it can be a fairly stable base of income.

Having a base from which to grow, something more steady than a lot of the types of work out there, is a GOOD thing to have, believe me. It helps to eat up some of the ups and downs and seasonal nature of other types of work, in particular.

Take care!
