Calling all Digital Transcribers

Rage_in_Eden

Hello everybody. Is anyone else a digital transcriber? Virtual PA? I am currently a med sec and have signed up to four (at the time of writing) digital services. I'm working for one already and have managed about £160 in pay this month and I've only been doing bits'n'bobs when I get in and only about a couple of nights a week and not every week. Does anyone do this full-time as their job? Does it pay? I was thinking of giving up my job after Christmas (don't like where I am :mad: ) and working from home. Anyone got any virtual PA sites that are recruiting? All info welcome.

Yep, I do it full time from home - financial sector specialist.

I built up my client base by temping for them first, and haven't - as yet - needed to dig elsewhere. I think there's a thread somewhere else on here with a lot of advice from someone who's a virtual PA - all extremely useful and definitely something I'll dig up in future!

A quick search on "virtual PA" as keywords should find it - I'm sorry I didn't bookmark it for speed. Don't know what else I can do/say to help, but feel free to ask anything and I'll do my best.

Wow thanks for that - I'll go off and have a fossick. I actually am a medical secretary so I've signed up for 4 (at the moment!) medical transcription services. I've been doing for one but need to get a digital footpedal for the others (so have been waiting until I get paid). I've just had an e-mail newsletter from the one I've been doing for and in it they've been apologising for the lack of work this August (it's a bit down apparently). Still, I can't complain. Now I've made the decision to give up work and do this from home I'm feeling a lot better about going into work - well sort of :rotfl: Plus I'll be able to keep on top of the housework as I can stop for lunchnd put the washer on at the same time!!!

I think the thread you may be referring to is here (apologies but I still am rubbish at linking but at least you could cut and paste).

I work full time as a VA/PA so feel free to ask if there is anything you want to know that is not covered in the other post.
