I edit a lot of the articles submitted to my ezine, Rim Digest,
for marketers and small business owners AND proofread
and edit web pages, blog posts and more for my clients.

I am NOT a “writer”, however, and rely on my strengths
with spelling and reading and grammar to help me help
them to show their very best face to the online or offline world.

One of the niches I find to be so helpful in things I want to write or share are PLR
or Private Label Rights articles where you pay a small fee for the use of the articles
and can edit, alter, add to or take away from something a real writer has created.

I have one such collection that I want to offer to my visitors that you can claim as your own and post in your ezines, submit to other ezines, use on your web site, use as eBook material or even offer in pieces in eCourses.

As one of my valued visitors, I’m giving you a one-time-chance
to download over 600 unique niche articles with Private Label Rights.

Professional copywriters can charge up to $250 PER article. I, myself,
have paid over $5 per article when I ran out of ideas for my ezine.

You CAN hire a Virtual Assistant or a copywriter to write or re-write your articles or blog posts for you, OR you can purchase these economical packages and use the content
as your own.

I do warn you, however, you will want to edit them or get someone else to do so for you. Number one, you do not want “duplicate content” where more than one person is using
the same article, word for word, AND there are quite often typos and spelling errors in packages with hundreds or thousands of documents. This said, it is usually very cost
and time efficient to try these out, I have found, if nothing else, a lot of good nudges
toward an idea that ends up helping me actually write something of my very own.

Bonus with the above 600 Articles Package, purchase this product and I will proofread
and edit any one niche from the package for you FOR FREE and any others you might
want done for half my normal rate.

Remember, I am a Virtual Assistant who LOVES to do editing,
proofreading and transcription assignments!

As one of my visitors so wisely stated, spellcheck is NOT the same as having a proofreader. When I am doing proofreading and editing for my clients, most of the spelling or usage errors I find I am fixing are due to confusing words. I use spellcheck in my word documents and in my email program BUT these just find actual spelling ERRORS and cannot be relied on to help you with the correct USAGE of the confusing words!

I shared some of these confusing words in earlier posts. They are A couple of spelling tips I have got to share and editing tips I want to share #2, but the above mentioned confusingwords.com can help show why you can NOT rely on a spellchecker to ensure your documents are correct.

Transcribing audio to text for reports, ebooks, etc. can be so much easier for the transcriptionist to DO and do so with maximum accuracy if, as a speaker, you use a clear and steady voice when making your recorded event.

In a moment, I will share with you a prime example of this as with permission from the speaker I am going to show you just what I mean.

I have done now quite a few transcriptions which were made much more difficult than they needed to be by the following:

*People talking so fast it is a wonder they can understand themselves

*People talking over each other and interrupting each other – this is especially difficult to decipher when you have two or more voices that are very similar!

*People who interrupt themselves to go off on another train of thought completely and then jump back to the prior subject

*People with – to be honest – horrible grammar – who do NOT want these errors fixed when being transcribed!

*People who make it obvious that there was NO PLAN on what to be said or discussed so there is no flow or rhythm to what is being said

*People who repeat the same thing several times but there is no sequence to let the transcriber know when to leave it and when to remove it

*People who come in and out of range of their microphones or whatever recording device they are using – I have done some where I had to send the file to the interviewer or interviewee with unknown and unclear notations for whole paragraphs of audio I could not hear or figure out or even give my best guess at

I know there are others and realize them AS I am doing a transcription, but these are just off the top of my head … IF you are planning on having your audio event transcribed, it might be a good idea to type up one of your shows or seminars or webinars, etc. yourself and you just might be surprised at how difficult this can be, especially for someone that probably does not know YOU or is not used to the way you speak.

Most of my Transcription Clients have, mercifully, been great voices and conversationalists TO transcribe. I appreciate that and them so very much. A normal, easy to hear and understand ONE HOUR audio file can take up to six hours to transcribe, proofread and edit. Obviously, having to stop several times to re-hear and try to translate and/or decipher is going to take even longer.

Now, on to that prime example of an interesting, fun, and CLEAR speaker who obviously has planned out what she is going to say AND has a great delivery as she is saying it – I would like to introduce you to Ann Evanston, The Warrior-Preneur and a savvy biz lady who shares “thoughts, inspiration and education – warrior style!” and one of my favorite videos of Ann’s – The Social Psychology of Social Media.

Listen to Ann’s clear, steady voice with a nice, even flow – this is just the type of speaker that is a joy to transcribe!

thanks, Ann, for the permission to use you as my prime example
and also for being a favorite and appreciated client!
