Look down this board and read the thread titled
"How to make money MT'ing" by Dano. It is excellent advice. It should help you a lot. Also on about page 4 or so there are a couple of threads that discuss how some of the higher producers get their production, hints and tips on expanders, macros, etc.
You can do very well at this line of work if you want to and really appy yourself!!
Please check Snopes before posting. This is a hoax & has been out for a while now.

Posting on this board sm
I agree with the moderator and the thing that bothers me is that some take up so much of some of the boards, that they seem to "overcome" and this is why in desperation, some say, "Please help me on".....xyz board because they know the board they should be posting on has only one or two posters. Albeit, these posters are helpful also, but don't you think it would be wise to allow only a certain number of posts per day on certain boards to allow someone else to get a word in edgewise? Then there would not be so many "lockouts" and posts on the main board. I was in a situation that was of importance to my future business and I did ask for help on a board which seemed to have only one or two posters lately, and I was shut down. This is not a punitive message, just a suggestion that sometimes we are desperate to be helped. This board is an excellent source of communication and I would hate to see anything negative happen here. Just a suggestion. Carry on the good work!
why are you posting on the main board ??

Did anyone see the posting on the job seeker's board with
 the ortho emphysis?  
Did you notice the posting on job board
for the company hiring new grads? I would be highly suspicious since they didn't give the name of the company. It may be a legit company, but.....
I tried posting on State Board, but is anyone else from TN?
That particular poster is now posting on the new MT board
noticed several posts from her over on that board, which is where I suspect she belongs, to be honest.
Check the classified board here and check
E-bay. Some companies will provide them for free or a small rental fee.
CHS Acct Mgr posting on job seeker's board
I have a sneaking suspicion that this is Ascend. If anyone finds out what company this is, please let us know!
Anybody having problems posting on word board ?
I have tried several times but will not post, some type of error.
I was banned from other board for posting diff.

Maybe you would have better luck posting this on the coders board.

Thank you so much for posting that. I just came on the board to look up the going rate for Midwest
and there you were! Thanks so much!!!
You can be banned for posting these type of questions on this board. At least that is....
what they told me. Unless they are selective on style/word/abbreviation questions being asked here. Hmmm. I wonder.
I am sick of people posting crap on this board and not backing it up. nm.

RadGuy, I gottah say this. You'll find someone on this board if you keep posting!! Even though mo
married (happily, others not), you just come off as interested in what we do as MTs (because you understand), you are funny, witty, and have a great personality....
I can just see it now....
You are personally invited to a virtual on-line wedding to celebrate.....
LOL!!
You realize you are posting this on the main board, right? Not everyone at this site works for MQ.
Hey, we were all "MT wannabes" sm
at one time. It's normal that you feel you will "never get it down." I'm an oldster so I learned the "old" way and I've taught...."the old way." There are ways to make learning much easier. Could you post where your problem areas are and I, for one, will do my best to give you suggestions? Better yet, if you'll give me an email address, I'll offer to be your mentor and I'll tell you honestly after a very few days whether you should consider another career choice. AND before I get flamed, I offer this for free simply because I love MT wantabees!
Many years ago I trained my daughter in MT. She would just cry in frustration and tell me "I'll never be able to do this." She was so excited the first time she typed 10 pages in an 8 hour day. Today she is one of those MT's who honestly make in the neighborhood of $60,000-70,000 and she works about 48 hours per week AND for a big player national. And NO she is not a "cherry picker," I taught her better than that.
In any event, my advice rule #1 is to grit your teeth and dig in and DO NOT GIVE UP, HANG WITH IT. I've always told everyone I trained to expect it to take 5 years to become really proficient. I said "proficient," that doesn't mean that it will take 5 years to make a living. :)
I worked with a "MT" that went there - sm
needless to say she was not very good and eventually got fired after multiple MTs checked her work, would inform her of the mistakes she was making, etc. She never got any better and made the same mistakes over and over again. Part of it was the school and a big part of it was her.
Should be *en*titled. nm

titled QA doesn't mean you know it all
I had a QA woman with 26 years exp. correct my military time with colons...........majority do not use colons
Check out the MQ Board!
Our fellow transcriptionists at Medquist are having their editing wages cut effective almost immediately.
Sorry, an "MT" should never make such basic mistakes,
FLAME AWAY.
Haven't seen it. There was this one poster, "mt," who was stressed out
I just read some of the posts from the end of September, and boy oh boy, was she ever stressed out about her QA situation. She was so stressed out that she was out-and-out arguing with folks who were simply trying to offer her some good advice for what she was going through. She was on a rampage. She responded to those helpful posters with exclamation points and wtf's and @!% many times.
Now *that* was nasty, IMO, although she was stressed. I'm sure that after she calmed down and read that thread of hers a day or two later, she could probably have seen how disagreeable and unreasonable she was being to those who were only trying to help. A lot of displaced anger there, if you ask me.
Anyway, I think this board is very helpful (I found a GREAT job because of this board), and I certainly don't mind helpful advice nor do I mind disagreements and debates, as long as they're kept on an adult level and aren't lowered to the "wtf" (and other #@!) level....
I like this board just the way it is. My opinion.

Go to the company board and check the sm
Set Up Your Alerts notice at the top. I think that is how you set it up.
You should check the tax information board--sm
accessible on the gab board site near the top. From my experience as an IC, if this is your first year doing any IC work, I do not believe that you need to do the estimated tax thing, but you still must report any income over, I believe, $400 for the first year on your income tax returns. You should do the estimated tax filings beginning with your second year, though. This would be for your IC job only. Check the tax board though, as there is usually some pretty good info on their.
I will check out the company board sm
Later about the Expander thing. I am on my way out now, but will take a look and see if I can help.

You may want to check the company board and do a search
I think you can do better - and nationals can be great to work for, don't know who hires newbies, though. Good Luck!
I would call IT or check productivity board sm
as would be so much more efficient easier to get IT to work correctly than to try to work back words and get autocorrect to work - IT should work with just about anything - not so with autocorrect
Check company board for archives.

You are certainly titled to your opinion. I do not happen to agree. I assume sm
that those of us who do not share your viewpoint are entitled to our feelings and opinions. Or is it no longer politically correct to espouse anything but viewpoints from your mind set?
