Five Reasons Why You Must Have Your TeleSeminars Transcribed

Five Reasons Why You Must Have Your TeleSeminars Transcribed
As a transcriptionist who specializes in Internet marketing
terminology, I've often been asked to transcribe audio
recordings of teleseminars. What's interesting is that
there are still folks out there who don't record every
single one of their teleclasses! Let me address this issue
first.

Recently, a woman who ran a national company sent a mass
email stating that she would be hosting a conference call
on a particular subject. I responded, as I often do, asking
her if she would like me to transcribe the event. She was
surprised - she hadn't even planned on recording it! I will
suggest right here that yes, you do want to record all of
your audio events. You need a record of all your events for
your own information and also so that you can offer them as
a product to those who missed out on what happened. One
very simple way to do so is two words: Audio Acrobat. If
you're not yet familiar with this company, please first
investigate them at http://audioacrobat.com.

In addition to recording your event, you will also want to
have a written transcription. Here are five reasons why:

1. For clients who miss the call, it's great to offer them
a download. Still, many people in today's busy world may
not have the hour these seminars typically run to sit down
and listen to your class. Why not offer them a PDF
transcript of your seminar to skim through?

2. If you are thinking of selling the recording of your
class, you can increase the value - and your profits - by
also providing customers with a written copy of the
information covered.

3. When you are planning topics to address in the future,
you will want to use the written copies as reference
points. You are also busy and won't have time to listen to
a 60-minute audio, but you will be able to refresh your
memory by quickly scanning a transcript.

4. You can more easily reuse and repurpose content that
you've created in a teleseminar to produce, say, articles
such as this one for article marketing if you have a
written record of topics you've discussed.

5. You can keep track of clients' frequently asked
questions. The more you know about what your customers want
to know, the easier it is for you to create info products
to serve them.

Don't lose your content forever by not having your
teleseminar transcribed, or worse yet - never recorded! The
investment in these services will pay off for you many
times over in the end.
