Speaker 1: Hey, welcome to this video, and if you arrived here, you're probably looking for an Accutrend global review. So I'll go over how it works, and I'll give you my two cents, whether I think it's a good use of your time. So first of all, what is Accutrend? Well, it provides transcription and related services to clients all around the world in different industries. Now, they specialize in financial, medical, and the legal industries. And it's been around since 2002, which is quite good. Usually, anything that's been around more than five years, as far as web companies online, you can probably trust them. So quite trustworthy, I would say. Now, there's three different types of jobs you can apply for. Of course, there's transcribers, your basic transcriber. There's real-time stenographers, and what's called voice writers. And the stenographers and voice writers are a bit higher level, like basically, you'd be doing court depositions. And actually, I mean, these are real skills. It takes typically, like I was reading, 24 months to become a professional voice writer and 36 months to become a professional stenographer. And the stenography school has like a 90% dropout rate, so these are real skills. And now, transcribing is simply, I'm sure you know what it is, it's just creating written versions of audio or video recordings, meetings, conversations. Example of an audio you might be transcribing would be a corporate phone call, roundtable discussions, depositions, presentations, and media interviews. And you can come here, apply for work, we'll show you what jobs are available right now. So right now, it's the stenographer and voice writer, and you do need to have some kind of certification for those. So I guess they're not looking for basic transcribers at the moment, but that could change. Now, generally, with these jobs, some basic skills you need, you have to be a really fast typer, around 60 to 70 words per minute, excellent command of the English language, so if English is your second language, you're probably going to struggle, and just be able to focus for long periods of time without losing your concentration, and of course, attention to detail. As for how much money you can make, that's probably what you're really interested in, so it depends entirely on how skilled you are, how fast you can type, and just how accurate you are. So there's no set income, it's just your skill level and the difficulty of the projects you're taking on. Now, AccuTrend, they pay $0.004, between $0.004 and $0.005 per word, so translate that to cents, or $0.40 per audio minute for longer projects. Now when you're first getting started, you won't have access to those larger projects, but once you earn your stripes, you will hopefully get access to those, and so this translates to roughly $4 or $5 for an audio of say a thousand words. So it's really your skill level, you could make anywhere from a few bucks an hour, in which case, probably not worth your time, because these are North American, I'm assuming if you came here, you're from North America, right? I believe the jobs are North American, right? So that's not enough to live on, right? So a few bucks an hour to as high as, I've seen mid-twenties, if you're really good at what you do. And payment is made on the 15th of each month via PayPal or a check. So yeah, and if you have some specialty, maybe you specialize in the medical field, obviously you'll make more, right? And you have experience. Now some basic technical stuff you'll need to get set up with Accutrend are, you'll need a PC running Windows XP or later. So if your computer's more than about four years old, you probably have to update it. If you're using a Mac, you'll need a software called Express Scribe and a word processing software that's compatible with Microsoft Word. You also need a good pair of headphones, regardless of which computer you're using, and what's called AOL Instant Messenger. You'll need to install that as well. So if you're not too tech savvy, maybe get a friend to help you out, a family member, but it shouldn't be too difficult. And you must be available to work between 4 a.m. Eastern Standard Time to 2 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and between 4.30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and 7.30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. So I hope that made sense. So it's 4 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern Standard Time and 4.30 p.m. to 7.30 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, if that makes sense. And you also need a quiet working space. They recommend if you have children, it's probably not a good idea, you have kids running around because you need somewhere quiet where you can focus as well as listen to the audio. Some experience is nice, but not necessarily if you're just getting started with the basic transcription projects. But you will eventually need to purchase a transcription foot pedal by the second peak season of working for Accutrend. So eventually you'll have to buy that. Now, I couldn't find too many reviews of people who have used the service online, like on sites like Glassdoor and Trustpilot, there were a few and mostly positive reviews. I think there was like one negative. And so yeah, if you're, I mean, if you're looking for, so yeah, if you're interested in transcription jobs, and you know, and you can type, you know, 90 words per minute and be super accurate, and have a great command of the English language, then yes, Accutrend can be a good opportunity for you. But unless you're in that sort of top, top tier of transcriptionists, I think it's just very difficult to make a living at something like this. So you have to be really, really good at what you do, or else you'll just be making less than minimum wage. And then what's the point, right? You might as well just get a job at McDonald's or something. I'm not disparaging McDonald's workers, you get what I'm saying. So now look, maybe you're here, you're not necessarily sold on Accutrend or being a transcriptionist. Maybe you're just here because you want a way, a reliable way to make money online. Well, I was in your position a little over a year ago. I tried all sorts of stuff. I tried blogging, I couldn't get any traffic to my website. Traffic just means eyeballs. I tried domain flipping, just, just goofy stuff that doesn't work, right? I even tried freelancing. I couldn't get any clients, paying clients. And so I'm like, oh no, what do I do? I don't want to go back to working at a call center, right? So it wasn't until I found this business model called affiliate marketing. That's when the coin really dropped for me. And I've been seeing some pretty amazing results ever since. Now, if you don't know, all affiliate marketing is, it's a $12 billion industry. It's bigger than real estate, bigger than retail. I know it's crazy, but it is. And it's growing every year. That's why people are so excited about it. So all it is, you're recommending other people's digital products in exchange for a commission. And so here's my diagram. So you'd find a good product, find an audience of people who might be interested in that product, and then you kind of act as the middleman. And you get a, you get a cut. So you kind of insert yourself in the process here. And, you know, provide value, teach people a little bit on what they came to learn about in the first place, whatever your niche is. So you can go into the weight loss niche, you can go into the make money online niche, you can go into the dog training niche, how to build a garden in your backyard, you know, improving your credit score. There's just so many different niches you can go into. It's not just about the make money online niche, although that is a big niche. There's just endless niches. So, so it's great for that. And, and so, so, so why do I recommend affiliate marketing? Well, here are just a few reasons. It's very simple. There aren't too many moving parts, like a lot of these other online businesses, like dropshipping and MLM. They're just so complicated, but with affiliate marketing, it's very simple and easy to get started. I shouldn't say easy, but simple. I mean, it takes work. Secondly, it's, it can be mostly automated. So once you get everything set up and you'd be like 80% automated but it is going to take a lot of work to get set up. I'm not going to lie. It's not like you push a few buttons and money's going to rain in. Sadly, there's no such thing. Or, you know, you'd be sipping coconuts on a beach somewhere. It's not like that. It's a real business. So I want, I hope I'm making that clear. Thirdly, the profit margins around 50 to 80%. I don't know of any other business model that has profit margins that high. Even freelancing, the profit margins are only like 30%, believe it or not. So lastly, it's the one business model I found where you can be truly be a solopreneur and that just means you could be one guy or woman on a laptop by yourself making really good money and scale to potentially 5,000, 10,000, you know, 20,000 a month, eventually, you know, without having to hire staff, without having to partner with anyone, without having to have a boss, which is great. Right. And so, yeah, it's just a great business model. So if you'd like to learn how to do affiliate marketing the proper way, because there is a wrong and a right way to do it, but if you'd like to learn the right way to do it, what I recommend doing is clicking the link below. You'll get access to a four-day training series where you're going to learn, you know, how to pick great products, how to generate an endless flow of leads, even if you're not an influencer or have a huge audience, and how to build out your simple sales process that can be working for you on autopilot 24 seven. So you don't necessarily have to be there all the time. So yeah, definitely check that out. I would, I would not waste my time on AccuTrend or similar websites unless here's the caveat, unless you're, unless you're amazingly skilled at, you know, being a stenographer, but, or, or, or being just a transcriber, right. But most of us, you know, we're not able to type, you know, a hundred words per minute. We can't, we're not good at listening to audio. We can't, we don't have an amazing command of the English language. So if you're just like a regular Joe, like me, definitely check out that, not that there's anything wrong with being regular, but check out that link below. Yeah, check, check your, enter your best email, check your spam folder, your promotions tab, because email's funny these days. And yeah, I hope you enjoyed this review. I hope you got some value out of it. And obviously I hope to see you on the other side. Have a great day. Bye.
