Ebook Working From Home as a Transcriptionist in South Africa

SLASHED TO R90 FOR THE DURATION OF THE PANDEMIC

2024 edition includes an all new section about AI as well as survival tips for the challenges presented by our government to small businesses with expert discussions.

This transcription e-book is packed with everything you need to know about working from home as a transcriptionist in South Africa. I started out as a transcriptionist in 2005 and I’ve included everything I’ve learned along the way that I wish someone had told me. It’s an essential resource for transcriptionists starting out and for those who just want to brush up on their business skills.

The ebook has been a ‘working document’ through all the years and has been updated every few years with the last update featuring a section on resilience during the pandemic. All the sections are now included in the new version. It has become a valuable and insightful resource in the virtual industry in South Africa.

Who should purchase this transcription e-book?

People starting out in the industry who want to know more about running their business, more about working from home and more about the challenges we face as workers in South Africa.

Why does the title refer specifically to transcription in South Africa?

Running your own business in South Africa has particular challenges which people in first world countries do not have. We have to deal with things like load shedding, water crises, high crime rate, poor service delivery - issues which are not relevant in other countries. My transcription e-book touches on all these aspects as well as the more generic things required by those who wish to run their own business - how to get and retain clients, how to invoice, professionalism, marketing - etc.

“Gaynor Paynter has written a down to earth, user-friendly transcription e-book based on her own personal experience. It’s easy to read and mostly comprehensive.” – Michelle Nel, freelance environmentalist journalist.
