Kim's Corner
I've decided to open my "toolbox" to everyone. There are too many people wanting to learn to successfully work from home and an even greater number of people wanting to rip those people off with work at home scams. It's not hard to become a transcriptionist and work from home. It's also no big secret if you know where to look or who to ask.
Below is my toolbox. I can't express to you enough how important it is to go through all of these steps before testing for a company as an independent contractor. Some companies will not allow you to test with them a second time. It's a good idea to test with some of the smaller companies first. Get your feet wet. Gain some experience. Once you are confident in your skills, you can consider testing with some of the bigger companies.
