Beyond Transcription: Editing and Proofreading

Editing and proofreading are some great services that a transcriptionist could add to their business. But what is the difference between proofreading and editing? I used to think that these services were one and the same.

 

Proofreading is the final step in the writing process. You look for grammatical errors, punctuation errors, and incorrect spelling and you correct them.

Editing is what happens before proofreading. This is a task that involves improving the quality of the written work.

So, proofreading and editing are definitely different and very valuable services that you could add to your transcription services. To learn more about proofreading and editing, check out this article: Proofreading and Editing

Networking for Success and Growth

One way to get clients is to get out there and get to know people. Build a relationship with them so they know that you are indeed a person and not just another faceless business. As an introvert myself, I definitely have a hard time with this one.
