Pam is there a university near you? Different university departments and profs often need transcription. There's a huge one here, a small city in itself, and I often wondered how it would be possible to get my name in there. A couple of days ago a grad student emailed me re transcription but I've not heard back yet, though I've had internet issues for days until a tech from heaven turned up tonight.
As you may know, I take my dogs to run at the local dog park at first light every morning and recently have been walking with a lady who is a part time prof at the university. Like me, she's a total animal lover and at the bark park we both look like bag ladies, covered in pawprints and dogspit, so we hit it off immediately.
I mentioned it casually to her this morning (I never push my services, plus I'm not too awake at 6 a.m. either
). She said they often need transcriptionists, during the academic year there's a weekly campus newspaper that's inexpensive for advertising and, in the meantime, she'd email some colleagues, talk to people and get the word out. If, along with what I currently have, I can get steady work from the university I'll have a very full practice. Keep your paws crossed for me!
