After Years and Years of People Begging Me To Do It... "I’ve Spent Hundreds of Hours, and The Last Several Months of My Life Putting Together, Hands Down, The Best Information on What It’s Really Like To Be a Professional Medical Transcriptionist" Now, For the First Time, You’re About to Learn the Inside Secrets Of the Medical Transcription Business - The Secrets the Course Makers Don’t Want You To Know.

Dear Prospective Transcriptionist,

We’ve all seen the ads, on TV and on the Internet, haven’t we? You know the ones, from the company that promises you training in dozens of different specialties, from Accountant to Webmaster. Prominent on the list is Medical Transcription, and for only $1,500.00 (or so) you get a Medical Transcription certificate, or get your Associate’s degree in Medical Transcription.

They make it sound like the perfect stay-at-home job, or a job like Dental Hygienist where you can get hired right out of school for a fantastic salary. The Internet versions may go so far as to tell you how much you can expect to earn as a brand new transcriptionist.

And you wonder, “What’s the real truth? Who do I trust?”

I’ve known many people like you. Over my long career, as an employee, as an independent contractor and business owner I’ve had dozens of people ask me what it’s like to be a transcriptionist, and how they could get started.

Hi, I’m Pam Lyon, and I was once right where you are, wondering if Medical Transcription was the right choice for me, and looking for someone to guide me.

Since then, my career has spanned nearly 25 years in the transcription field. I’ve been an employee for large hospitals and small; I’ve been an independent contractor for several medical practices and large hospitals.

I’ve supervised, mentored and served as editor for other transcriptionists, and I’m still working at what I love. In short, I know this business up and down, inside and out. I know what it takes to get started in transcription, and also what it takes to be a success at it over the long haul.

And I have also learned that things are never quite as easy as the advertisers make it seem. But you already know that, don’t you...

Most of us are just looking for a way to make a few extra dollars, to supplement the family income to maybe take a vacation or get that new car. Stay-at-home moms in particular often are looking for a way to work and still stay at home, and Medical Transcription sounds like the perfect solution; just do some typing in your spare time, and pull in a few extra dollars.

Well, there’s just one little problem:

The people who offer the training courses want several hundred to thousands of dollars for their course. And you don’t know which one you should pick. Or worse, even if you should do it at all.

That’s always the way, isn’t it? To get the sale, they have to make it sound super easy, just buy our course, and in no time you’ll be making big bucks in your spare time. Sound familiar?

Of course it does.

But if you’re like most everyone else, you can’t afford to throw 500 to 1,500 dollars at a course without knowing just what you’re getting into. What if you don’t like it? What if you finished the course and found out that you can’t make nearly the money you were told you could? Or that it was lots harder to find a job than you were led to believe?

Wouldn’t you like to know what it’s really like to be a full-time medical transcriptionist before you plunk down all that money? Wouldn’t you like to know what kind of hours you can expect to work? What kind of money you can really expect to make starting out, and after you’ve been at it a while? What expenses you’d have to start up?

Ideally, you would be able to know with full confidence going in that you knew what you were in for when you buy that course. You’d know what it’s like to really sit down and do transcription. You’d know what you would be making, how many hours you would be working. You would know that it would be worth it........
