Why should you have transcriptions for your videos and products?
Why should you have transcriptions for your videos and products?
When you’re doing video marketing, you can upload the transcript to YouTube, and it helps the search engines crawl your content. Viewers can start the video at the keyword they selected, and they like that. Increased traffic from video marketing, and if your content is keyword enriched, you’ve got the jump on 95% of people using video marketing. (don’t forget to use tags, though, that’s a big part of it, as well)
Also, if you have an audio or video that you are selling, you can ask more if you offer a transcript.
Many of my coaching clients offer one price for just the audio or video, and another, higher price if they want the transcript as well. (I wouldn’t offer JUST the transcript, unless you’re marketing the product as an ebook, because people will choose that option just based on the price, and not get the real value-your content!)
In addition, once you have a library of transcripts available, then it becomes a non-issue to WRITE A BOOK. (I’m a big promoter of people writing books, can you tell?) You simply use the transcripts, edit, and print.
They call me TheTranscriptionator, that’s the name my clients gave me. Because I rock. The service is fast, accurate, and professional.
15 years in the publishing industry have taught me well how to work under tight deadlines, and being the publisher, writer, owner, main dishwasher at my own publishing company required me to be persnickety about grammar, punctuation, spelling, etc.
It’s a gift, what can I say?
