Transcription is an unsung hero in the work-from-home job market.
It’s perfect for people who don’t want jobs that require you to talk on the phone, and great for workers who want to set their own schedules.
To get started with most transcription jobs, all you need is a computer and internet connection. Many transcribers also invest in transcription software, a headset and a foot pedal to control audio playback to help them work more efficiently.
Experienced transcriptionists can earn as much as $35 per hour, but beginners can expect to pull in about $15 per hour while learning the ropes.
Interested? Cool — we’ve found three work-from-home transcription jobs for you that don’t require previous experience.
But if you want to get a leg up on the competition, consider taking a free mini-course from Transcribe Anywhere. You’ll learn the nuts and bolts of professional transcription and even how to start your own transcribing business.
