it if you have purchased the website, and
|
| . |

|
Why should I pay $100 per month
for the transcription website hosting after I have purchased
the website? I thought website hosting costs around $10 per
month.?
| . |
Well, we
do more than just website hosting; we maintain your transcription website for
you and make sure that everything is working on your transcription website.
|
| . |
We will
promptly fix any problem that you may encounter with your transcription
website.
|
| . |
You may
choose to not use our service; but here are reasons why you may want to use the
maintenance service:
|
| . |
Your
website will be fairly complex and requires database management on an ongoing
basis. Unless you or your company has a diversified IT support, you will find
the $100 cost a huge bargain.
|
| . |
We will
insert codes for tracking conversion on your website for advertising at Google
& Yahoo.
|
| . |
We will
give you a tool to track visits to your website so that you can analyze your
business.
|
| . |
The
hosting cost will be higher than $10 because of the database requirements and
high bandwidth required for uploading files.
|
| . |
The
website maintenance service includes making changes inn your content. For
example – you may want to update testimonials, clients etc. on your website
regularly.
|
What happens if I lease the website and
marketing program and do not like managing transcription business?
| . |
We ask
you to commit for a minimum six months lease. You can cancel anytime after
that. We will simply turnoff the website and stop all advertisement. However,
you will find that your transcription website enables you to easily outsource
your work to other transcriptionists if you decide not to transcribe documents
yourself.
|
What is the guarantee that your program will generate enough revenue to pay for
the leasing fee?
| . |
We
cannot guarantee anything, except that your transcription website would
function as promised and that our marketing program is proven to generate
inquiries from prospects who want to get transcription done. Generally
speaking, the number of inquiry you get would depend on your pricing, but you
will get projects based on your experience & promise (guarantee delivery
time, accuracy, etc.)
|
| . |
Your own
transcription website enables you to spread the word about your business
through your network of professionals by adding your transcription website
address on your business card and promotion materials.
|
How many transcription businesses are using
your website and marketing program?
What sort of transcription work is best suited
for the GMR turnkey transcription business program?
| . |
The
ideal transcription projects are legal transcription, psychiatrists sessions
transcription, psychologists sessions transcription, transcription of lectures
by professors, business meetings transcription, transcription of sermons by
preachers, focus group meetings transcription for market researchers,
transcription of conferences, seminars transcription; and selective medical
transcription.
|
Why is medical transcription selective only?
Isn’t it the biggest chunk of the transcription work?
| . |
It is
true that the program is best suited for non-medical transcription. Here is
why;
|
| . |
Medical
transcription area is qualified because the transcription website works for
digital recordings .While physicians have started using digital recording; in
which case the transcription website will work perfect; a majority of recording
for medical transcription is done over the phone. We can design a separate
website for you (additional cost) where physicians can call and dictate.
|
| . |
While
medical transcription is the largest segment of transcription work, non-medical
transcription requirements are increasing fast. Moreover, overseas companies
from the third world countries have stepped in the medical transcription
segment aggressively, and have effectively dropped the rates dramatically. You
may need to charge third world prices to compete in this segment.
|
How long would it take to start the program
after I sign up?
| . |
Your
transcription website will be up within three weeks of getting all information
from you (about you, contact info, your area of expertise, etc.)
|
| . |
Marketing program will be
launched within a week of the completion of your website. |
