How To Make Money With Micro Job Sites
How To Make Money With Micro Job Sites - By: Kathy Dobson
With the explosion of micro job sites online, it is easy to say that anyone can now make money on these sites. However, there are some users who are still having a hard time making a sale on Fiverr.com and other micro job sites. If you want to start making money online, then you have to know some tips on the best ways to make money with micro job sites.
First off, you have to know what to sell. These micro job sites earn money by taking a percentage of your sale. Thus, you have to consider the effort and price ratio. For instance, every gig in Fiverr.com pays $5 but $1 of that sale goes to the site and you get the remaining $4. With this in mind, you have to be reasonable about the amount of time you spend on every gig. If you spend hours on a single gig for $4, then it is very much certain that you won't find Fiverr.com to be a profitable place to earn online.
Second, your gig's title is essential in catching a potential buyer's attention. It is your first point of contact so you have to keep it short and direct to the point. The title of your gig should encourage buyers to click on your link and nothing else. You can give out the details of your gig in the description field so there's no need to be very specific about this in your title.
It is also very important that you use the right picture for your gig. If you are selling something related to Facebook, then you should put up something related to Facebook in your gig's image. This will give further visualization to your potential buyer. Try not to overpower your gig's description with the photo you upload though. The photo should be professional and must complement your gig in a nice way.
Some of these micro job sites limit the number of gigs you can create, but this shouldn't stop you in anyway. What you can do instead is to appear at least once in the recently completed gigs so that you can continue to catch other buyer's attention. If you are able to consistently provide quality gigs, then you have a chance of becoming featured on the site's top listings. Being featured means everybody who comes to the site will see your gig first since it will be placed on top of the other gigs.
Since a feedback system is present in these micro job sites, you have to strive to keep your ratings positive. However, if you get a negative rating for some reason, you shouldn't give too much thought to it. You can't please everybody but you can always increase your positive ratings by completing more quality gigs.
With these tips, you can certainly make money online with micro job sites. Earning from these sites won't make you a millionaire overnight but it can help you pay some bills. So, if you're still not making money online, try signing up for one of these micro job sites today.

A Perfect Work from Home Home Opportunity: Start a Transcription Business
A Perfect Work from Home Home Opportunity: Start a Transcription Business
Still looking for a way to earn money online from your own home? Do you enjoy typing and and have been told you're a whiz at it? You may be just the right person to consider learning the transcription business. General transcription services are needed by people who record audios. Podcasts, teleseminars or webinars are a few types of audios that might get transcribed. The documents are typed out by you, the transcriptionist, in a document for people who want to read it. Your transcription business won't require a great deal of investment up front; just your computer, a quiet office, and some easily attainable transcribing equipment.
Deciding on your transcription equipment will take a little bit of research. Take a look online at the computer programs and good quality headsets available. The actual transcription program will have the settings you need to keep the verbal recording under your control. A must-have is a good headset that enables you to clearly understand the words you are trying to type. So, let's take a look at what else you need to know.
Now, ask yourself... do I have a keen sense of hearing, command of the English language, and fast typing skills? If you answered "yes", then you might wonder what other skills you need. You should also be able to work well under tight deadlines, be able to work independently for most of the time, and handle the repetition of typing, which can be a strain on the hands and wrists and the back from sitting for long periods of time. If that sounds like you, and you possess a sharp eye for detail, you are well on your way. With that said, let's look at some ideas to get you started in your home based transcription service.
Training in Transcription: When you get the right training in transcription, you will save yourself a lot of frustration! You don't want to fail because you didn't do your homework, do you? Before you open the doors of your transcription business, spend some of your time browsing through online courses, especially the Transcription Starter Pack.
Complete Business Plan: Your new business, like all successful businesses, will require a well written business plan. Let your business plan reflect your excitement and tell the world who you are. Start with a straight-forward outline of the services you will offer, then your vision, your marketing plan, your financial plan, and your plans for growth. This not only is a good exercise in keeping your focus, but your business plan will be an important tool to track your goals and your progress.
Home Office with Proper Equipment: You'll most certainly want a quiet and comfortable home office with a good computer and some storage for your client information. You'll be using some special transcription software and hardware to play and listen to the recorded material. The computer program will have many settings to help you control the recording. You'll be able to start, stop, go back, and slow down the recorded material so you never get lost or behind in a document. Most importantly, you'll want to use a highly sensitive headset so that the recording is clear and the words are easy to understand. These tools will be priceless to your transcription business.
Marketing Yourself: Some people like to join with national transcription companies so the work comes to them. However, if you are a good networker and like selling yourself, you may want to find your own clients and work directly with them. With podcasts popping up all over the internet - and teleseminars spreading like wildfire, you'll have a huge list of people to contact with your services.
Website For Your Business: Besides your hard work, your new and growing transcription business depends on a great website. Use it to let the outside world know that you are available and ready to work! You will be listing your services and letting clients know how to contact you. If website design is not your forte, please hire someone to develop a professional website for you. The investment is minimal when compared to the client reaction you will get from happy testimonials and other client referrals. Keep in mind that your website is your professional face, so please save your personal or cutesy web stuff for the a personal blog. Your satisfied clients will always be ready and willing to refer other clients your way if you make your website easy for them to use and respond to.
Transcription services are in high demand in the US and according to the Department of Labor's statistics, transcriptionist jobs are growing at a higher than average rate. That's good to hear, isn't it? By becoming a transcriptionist, you have found a career that is easily managed from your home office; a career which gives you an opportunity to grow at your own pace. And that seems like a very attractive opportunity indeed! Isn't it time you found out what all this transcription business fuss is about?

The Future of Medical Transcription
How can we improve our nation's health care?
John A. Halamka M.D. (Chief Information Officer ─ Harvard ─ Affiliated health─Beth - Israel Deaconess Hospital): In our country it is estimated that 144 billion dollars a year is lost because lack of coordination of medical care.
The electronic medial record enables seamless transmission of patient histories, medications and laboratories from doctor to doctor. It's only through Electronic Medical Records ( EMR) that we will receive coordinated care, safe care and cost-effective care.
The American Association Presents Medical Transcription: Ensuring Safe, Quality Cost-Effective Health Care.
Dee Thomas CMT (Owner Thomas Transcription) : I like the fact that we do play a part of the roll of patient's healthcare in the industry.
Some years in high school originally I've thought about being a nurse, but I could not stomach it. But this is a way to make that same contribution but at the same time, well maybe on the backend of that, we make a significant contribution to patient healthcare.
Did the patient have three kimonos or trichomas?
Valli Pillion CMT, FAAMT: When Medical Records (MR), are accurate, both the patients and the doctor are protected.
Dee Thomas: We have physicians who, you know, who didn't get into the profession, because they wanted to dictate in the first place. They get into the profession because they want to take care of patients. So they do this generally and as fast and as quick as they can so they can get back to what they really wanted to do, which is administer patient care.
I'm not always sure if I hear it or I know it from years of experience. But many times we can get the blanks (garbled phrases).
Did the physician say 5,000 or 50,000 units of insulin?
When we catch a problem in the report that's been dictated, we bring that to the attention of the facility or the physician.An example of that would be; we had a report and the physician did actually dictated 50,000 units of insulin. I know it should be 5,000. Anyone with experience in transcribing reports would automatically know it should have been 5,000.
So we would bring that to the attention of the facility, we would make that correction in the report. Now had that report fallen into the hands with someone with less experience, and it may not be caught, and the patient would receive the wrong dosage of medication.
John A. Halamka M.D. : between 0.7 and 7 percent, all hospital patients have a medication error during their stay. MR provides a foundation for the system support that enables us to do drug-drug, drug-allergy and drug – laboratory interactions check so we can provide high quality care.
The American Association for Medical Transcription: Promoting Quality, Certification and Continuing Education for Medical Transcriptionists.
Jefferson Howe CMT, MSA Maine Medical Center: the American Association for Medical Transcription helps it's members by advocation certification, a focus on quality, and a focus on continued learning in this professional environment. It's changing now and its changing fast and we have to be up to speed with where things are going.
Dee Thomas CMT: I think all medical transcriptionists (MT) should be certified. I think there should be a benchmark in every profession. I think we're are one of the few profession in the health care industry where certification is not required and would you just want anyone handling your patient records.
Valli Pillion CMT, FAAMT: Medical Transcriptionists face the same problem that healthcare system as a whole faces. Our mission and our goal are only for MTs to be the best they can be, but our healthcare system to be the best that they can be.
The American Association for Medical Transcription:
Working To Bring Medical Transcription into The future.
Jefferson Howe CMT, MSA: Technology is changing and it's changing faster all the time. The American Association for Medical Transcription absolutely has to help the MT evolve with the EMR to learn and understand their position today, so they can play an interoral part in it.
John A. Halamka M.D. : we have found even with the voice recognition we have found that their not accurate enough, without human intervention. So our challenge has been to use the machines, the best of technology as well as the human brain and MT to bring a quality product.
How is the electronic medical record changing health care delivery?
Jefferson Howe CMT, MSA: the EMR, is probably the most exciting change in my career and it has made exciting to me. I think that we have to ask; what will we do when we have so much EMR everywhere?
What does it mean to Home Health Care Aids, Nursing Homes, and other health care facilities or agencies, pharmacies, physical therapist, when they can plug in and see my health care information at that point?
Be it at home or in the medical environment make better judgments based on what they have at hand.
John A. Halamka M.D. : We have to deliver safe effective care in our hospitals without the support of our Electronic Systems. In fact, two years ago we had a network outage. It lasted about a day and a half.
We went from the hospital of 2002 to the hospital of 1972. It took 100 extra staff, just to deliver the good quality care that we were doing with EMR. They are an essential part of the modern hospital of today.
MTs: An Integral Part in the Health Care System.
Dee Thomas: the record, the transcription that we do is the first line of defense of making sure that that patient receives the health care that he needed. That the hospital facility receives payment for the services that were rendered.
And we ultimately, even though we work in the background, you know, we have done all of the documentation necessary to see that that happens.
John A. Halamka M.D. : the next five years will be very exciting. We'll ensure that doctors have all the information that they need, in an accurate and timely way, anywhere of the information they need even on the internet, with the oversight of MTs ensure it's accuracy.
Valli Pillion CMT, FAAMT: Every time that we catch an error within the dictation, the patient and the doctor benefits. Ironically most of the patients don't know we exist. But we know that we are making a difference within the industry.
