I am a stay at home mom and would like to make a little extra money to start putting away for my boy’s education. I have thought about Medical Transcription. Does anyone do medical transcription? How much do you make and how much time do you spend doing it? What is a good way to get started? I know there are some online schools, what is a good one? Thanks for information.

What can I do next?

Hi there A.. I was a stay at home Mom for 1 1/2 years and did medical transcription from my house. Although I only had 1 account I was very happy and still busy doing it. Since my account was with my old boss I charged him a much lower fee than most MT businesses. It kept me busy and brought a little extra cash into my house. I work in the physical therapy field and it is a very seasonal practice. Since they are located next to Leisure World I'm sure you can guess that most of our patients are snow birds. So, the summers are a little slower than October through say Arpil. I have discovered this doesn't seem to be the case with other practices.
I took a course that you can do at home through a company in Phoenix. The lady who owns the business is Debrah. She is very nice and is always available via phone or e-mail if you have questions. The company name is A to Z Transcription. This is their web site: http://www.medtranscription.com. They have all the info you need on the course and even guarantee you a position if you complete the course. Now I know that 3 years ago the course was pretty expensive, around the $600 range, but if you are really interested in doing transcription it is worth it since you are guaranteed a placement.
I hope I have helped you even a little. If you have any questions about anything else please let me know. I can give you names of programs and equipment that you can hook to your computer so you can receive digital recordings an stuff. Good luck!!

Hi there! I just want to tell you about a home based business that is really fun! It is the best thing that has happened to me since becoming a mom. You make your own schedule around your family activities. You are in control of you income.

I do home parties with my lia sophia jewelry. It is the easiest money I have ever made. I truly love this business and the company I represent.

You don't have to be a sales person. You are just sharing the love of the jewelry with people. This comes very easy for me since the jewelry is fabulous!!!

Hi A.. You should do what I do! I absolutely LOVE my job! I've worked from home for nearly two years now. I have a three-year-old son and another one on the way. :) I work for Arbonne International. It's a Swiss-based health and wellness company. We have everything from nutritional supplements, to weight loss, to aromatherapy, to cosmetics, hair care, baby care, and my personal favorite...skin care! These products are absolutely the best out there. But, best of all, they're all natural, botanical and herbally-based, 100% certified Vegan and contain NO mineral oil, chemical dyes or fragrances! Can you tell I'm excited about these products?! :) Anyway, I work about 10 hours a week from home with my son at home full time, and I earn on average $1500 per month. I know that's not a ton of money, but it really helps out our family each month with bills and groceries and fun stuff!
If you're at all interested, please feel free to visit my website at: www.mandyolsen.myarbonne.com or www.arbonne.com. I'd love to meet with you to give you some free samples and answer any questions you may have. Hope you find the perfect fit for you!
Take care,
