As I mentioned before, my first ever guest post is now live on Bridie's blog.
It should be of interest to people who outsource transcription or generally to podcast bloggers.
Its about how to record audio dictations (click here to read the article & comment).

Merry Christmas! (and Thank You!)
I'd also like to take this opportunity to thank you for reading and visiting this blog. It means a lot to me.
Thank you.
I also wanted to share with you some amazing things that's happened, directly or indirectly, because of this blog.
It has only been a little over 2 months since I started writing here (I started this blog in October 2010, to be precise). In this short span of time I was able to publish 50 articles on this blog so far. That in itself is a huge achievement for me.
A few weeks after writing here, a general transcription company contacted me out of the blue and called me into their office. We had a chat and it transpired that they really liked the blog. There was even a discussion of me helping them with their marketing/lead generation efforts. (I"ll keep you informed if anything developed out of that chat.)
One of my secret hopes when starting this blog was connecting with people with similar interests and passions. I am very grateful for having found new friends soon after writing this blog.
Bridie Jenner (@Bridies_Typing) of Bridie's Typing Services and Patty Juan, owner and founder of eXPERT Business Support Service are such friends.
In fact, this coming Monday, 27 December 2010, my first ever guest post (more accurately a series of posts) will be published by Bridie on her blog.
With all these happening in such a short period of time, I have a feeling 2011 will be much more fun and I really, really look forward to it.
Thanks, once again, for all your support and encouragement. This blog will be a success because of YOU!

How to Market your Services During Holiday Seasons
Do you market your services or products during holiday season? How do you market your services during holiday seasons?
It's that time of the year again when you start receiving sales promotions and discount offers in your email.
For example, today I received an email from my hosting company, WPWebHost (I have a couple of WordPress self-hosted websites) saying they are hosting a Mega Sale.
WPWebHost is giving upto 90% discount to bloggers who sign up for their Freedom and Buddy WordPress Hosting Plans.
Simply, go to their site and sign up using the promotional code, MEGASALE.
You can save up to $144 for a 1 year WordPress hosting plan.
Both Freedom Plan (50GB space | 500GB bandwidth) and Buddy Plan (100GB space | 100GB space | 1TB bandwidth) are tailor made to get the best compatibility and maximum performance for WordPress-powered sites.
The offer includes free domain name for life and 100 days money back guarantee.
If you are thinking about starting a website or blog or an online business you should sign up now and not miss the proverbial boat.
As a business, WPWebHost, is taking advantage of the holiday shopping season to promote their hosting services.
As their long-time satisfied customer I am very happy to recommend their services. Their customer care department is especially very helpful when I started hosting my sites with them.
Back in the middle of 2008 I was new to WordPress and hosting so I needed a helping hand all along the way and WPWebHost never failed me to this day.
Takeaway points:
- Promote your transcription services during holiday seasons by giving discounts to new customers
- Leverage your customer base to promote your services by giving them incentives to do so - a referral system could do the trick.
- Build up your social proof by being helpful and responsive to your customers needs and concerns
- Build an email list
- Start blogging now - sign up for the discounted hosting services and save money.
