Summary

Today's question comes from Lain, who asks about transcriptions. Where is a good place to find a transcriptionist? In this episode I mention James Schramko's podcast (http://www.superfastbusiness.com/). I've used transcriptionists from Upwork (merger of oDesk and Elance; http://upwork.com). Lately I have been using Rev for some transcriptions (https://www.rev.com/freelancers/transcription) and Fiverr (https://www.fiverr.com/). Do you have a question about podcasting? Record it at http://www.askpat.com/. Check out my new book on validating your idea for a business, Will It Fly?, at http://willitflybook.com.
