I enjoy typing .. I type about 75 wpm. ( I know there are people a lot faster then me ) I am looking to possibly starting a typing service to start off with as a VA Business, though I am not sure how to go about doing it. Has anyone offered just a typing service ? How did you go about doing it ? What type of people/clients were you focusing on ? How much did you charge ? How did you charge them ? As many suggestion as possible would be better for me I am looking forward to hearing from you all. Thank You

No, there's absolutely no call for just typing services..... I offer business-to-business audio and copy typing - audio is on a per recorded minute rate, copy on an hourly rate. __________________ Bridie's Typing Services Celebrating 10 years in biz

Yes ... I am working on that. That's why I am asking I am so confused with everything. I have been in the medical and clerical field for over 10 years. I just do not know all these VA Terms or worked as a VA!

Copy typing isn't a VA term. Yes, I'm in Western Australia. When I first started out I did some audio typing for an agency while I advertised for clients. It takes a while, so worth looking at that option to get your started. __________________ Bridie's Typing Services Celebrating 10 years in biz

Kirsten, I kind of got off track in your other thread, so I sort of answered your questions here. What a hoot - I got carried away. __________________ Jules, SunRise Virtual Solutions - I rock WordPress customization, XHTML/CSS websites, and Administrative duties.

Guess I kinda did the other thread as well. Another option in "copy typing" -- I didn't know term either, just did it... is per typewritten page rather than per hour. Compare what feels better to you. Per hour will probably work out better though.
