Start with a Good Telephone Voice

A good voice can lead to movie roles, animated movie roles.

Whether it's a phone interview or customer service calls, a good telephone voice is irreplaceable. There's always that benefit of being to get the message right to whoever you are talking to.

To have that ear fluttering good of a voice is not easy to accomplish. It requires a good amount of practice and a good ear. Why the ear you might ask? Good listening skills are needed in order for you to hear how words are properly said.

In order to come up with your own signature voice, you need to absorb a lot of information regarding the enunciation of words. Watch a lot of TV shows, some sitcoms and international news. Listen to what the people are saying and take note of how they are saying it. This will be your main method of studying.

You will also need to practice a lot. Start at home. Let your family know that you are doing it to build your career. Your parents would understand. Your siblings might not, and I'm sure they won't but hey, you're doing this for yourself and for your future. Work on it.

Now you have the basics done, we will advance to higher tier of learning. We will need to improve your tone of voice.

Experiment! You will never know until you try. Go converse and try it with different tones. I personally would like an Australian accent, but crickey, it's better with English, mate. Record yourself and see what fits your personality. Don't go for the shrill voice if you are aggressive. Believe me, nobody will take you seriously.

Once you found the voice that sounds good on your recording, that will be the best voice you can use over the phone. What sounds good in the recording will also sound good over the phone. They're both electronic devices, so they should have an output of close to similar results.

And I may have to emphasize this: Practice makes Perfect. Remember that and you'll be on your way to success.

An Appointment Setter is usually hired as an assistant or receptionist for a company to accommodate interested customers and screen out the ones who're not. Appointment Setters are often given a list of people to call to setup an appointment with them, confirm the appointment or reschedule the appointment.

Appointment setting is one of the trickier jobs out there which require a knack in over the phone rapport building, in short, good conversation skills. But the job promises unlimited income over hourly pay, you earn commission for each appointments you set. The best part is, you can work from the comfort of your own home.

Make Money Typing Online

Lucky you!

Did you ever thought of making money from your hyper speed typing skills?

Be a transcriptionist.

A transcriptionist is commonly perceived as a very fast typist, but there is so much more to the profession. Transcriptionists need to have a good listening skills. Because there are a lot of possible words that can be used in a session, Transcriptionists must transcribe accurately all the words that had been heard or the entire article might not make sense.

How do you become one you might ask?

First you need a computer. Most might have one already but you don't need anything that could break speed records in processing. A good ole office computer is adequate.

Second, in order for you to communicate with your future customers, you will need an internet connection. You will be downloading a lot of audio files from the net so good internet speed is needed. We can't have you stuck waiting in downloading the audio, when there are a lot waiting to be transcribed.

Third, you will need word processing software, like Microsoft office or Open office. The latter is if you want to go cheap and get one for free. The plus here is if you format your transcription and it looks good, you will look attractive to your clients.

Fourth, you will have to get an audio playback software. While most would suffice to Windows media player or VLC, I recommend getting the FTW Transcriber (http://www.theftwtranscriber.com/). It's simple to use, it's built for transcription and best of all, it's for free.

Fifth, get a digital foot pedal. This is the most critical part of your transcription arsenal. It's hard to find, but your local CDR King should have one. As a transcriptionist, you can use your foot pedal in starting, stopping, pausing, decrease and increase the speed of the audio player with your foot. Transcriptionists find foot pedals to be an invaluable time saving device. Get your feet some exercise and transcribe faster with a foot pedal!

Sixth, Headphones. Invest in the very best headphones. You will regret buying that cheap Beats by Jose when you're in the middle of transcribing and all you hear are jumbled words and a lot of background noise.

And Finally, Seventh, start looking for work. You can visit a lot of sites who are accepting Transcriptionists. Findtranscriptionwork.com is one of my favorite sites. There are also a couple at odesk.com and freelancer.com. Both are good routes especially if you already have an account with them and your building your reputation.

I recommend this to Nursing graduates as there is a good demand for medical transcriptionists. The harsh reality right now is that there is much difficulty in getting a regular nursing job. And what's hard about it is that some hospitals are asking for payment for our nurses to volunteer work for them.

The Blog

What are you lying there for? Get up and Get rich!

It has been a long while, a long time of thinking in deciding to create my own blog.

I tell myself, I don't have the time and I don't have the resources but I do, I do have a small amount of time. So to prevent myself from regretting what I could have not done, I'm doing it.

Life, as we know it, is not a walk in the park. It's all about surviving, figuring out where we can get what we'll be eating later. Where to get the money to pay the electrical bill, the water bill, the cable bill, the internet bill, the loans, the tuition... I can go on and on, but you get my point.

As an early father, I had to figure it out and absorb them all in a fast pace. My son couldn't just wait for me to mature. Neither does my wife.

So I took time to know ways to earn online. It's simple really, all you need is motivation. My wife and son are giving me lots of it, plus they give me a little extra push now and then.

And through the years of constant researching, I have found that there are a lot of ways to earn money right from the comfort of your home. I want to share that knowledge. I don't want it stored and wasted to myself. It could serve someone better if they knew it too. This is free information after all, and let it be shared!

Which led me to decide to make this blog. It's not much, but I want to help people out there, who could relate to what I've been through. Early parents barely prepared in raising their children, struggling students, and new graduates who just cant find where they fit in,

This blog is for you.
