Welcome to “Time Saving Tuesdays” here on the Superior Business Management Solutions blog. Every Tuesday I’ll present you with a quick time saving tip or tool to help make your busy week a little easier. These short segments are designed so that you can come in, grab your tip, and then quickly use it in your busy week.
So, let’s get right into this week’s tip which is Creating New Content Quickly and Easily with Transcription Services and Audacity’s Free Audio Recording Software.
You Have To Create Fresh Content Regularly For Your Small Business
Everyone knows the importance of creating new content for your website. You may have heard the Content is King and even to this day, having regular, fresh content on your website is beneficial to help attract more visitors and to get better ranking in the search engines. The problem for many is not understanding the value of this practice, but rather in finding to time to create this content, especially with everything else we’re doing in any given week.
Even so, regardless of how busy we are, it’s paramount that you are constantly creating fresh content to support your small business marketing efforts. Even if it’s something as small as two paragraphs and a quick tip or tool that you can give to your visitors and help generate more traffic.
So with that being said, today’s time saving tip is about using the Audacity free audio software which you can get at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ and then having that audio transcribed by one of the hundreds of transcription services you can find on the web. This simple technique provides a quick and easy way to create content without having to labor through writing the piece out yourself.
But Creating Content Can Be A Pain
Like many of you, it is often difficult for me to sit in front of the computer and actually type out a blog. I do write on a regular basis, but it does get difficult at times. However, I feel like I could talk endlessly about a number of topics without it being a problem. So, for me, I found that by recording my information on audio and then having it transcribed; it allows me to get out the information I want, without having to labor over the keyboard for a couple of hours. Simply stated, sometimes it’s just easier to talk about it than it is to write about it.
Start Small
To get started I would suggest you begin with short pieces of information. This helps you get used to the recording process. Download the Audacity audio software to your desktop and just start recording. It doesn’t have to be very formal since once you had the information transcribed, you can go back through and edit it to suit your needs on the website. Trust me, it’s a lot easier to go back and edit it than it is to start from scratch and sit there writing for a number of hours.
Finding A Transcriptionist
Transcription services can be found across the web. You can do a simple Google search or use freelance sites like Elance, Guru, and ODesk to find a transcriptionist who can take your audio and turn it into the written word.
This is a great time saving tip for small business bloggers who are almost always short on time. I’m sure if you use it properly, you’ll have loads of new content going up on your blog more regularly so that you can get the SEO benefit and engage your visitors easier and more effectively every week.
