Tips for Transcribers

From Freelancer to Small Business Owner

Hello, Reader!

If your transcription business still relies on manual file handoffs, copy-and-paste project details, status updates across multiple tools, and hand-built invoices, those small tasks are costing you more than you realize.

Manual processes don’t just eat up time; they quietly drain profit, increase errors, and limit your ability to scale. Missed files, incorrect invoice details, duplicated data entry, and inconsistent workflows create friction for you and your clients. Over time, that friction turns into burnout, lost revenue, and unnecessary stress.

That’s why I just published a new blog post showing how to automate your transcription workflow using Make, connecting tools many of us already use into a streamlined, hands-off system.

Inside the guide, you’ll learn how to:

Automatically move files through each stage of your workflow
Sync projects across Google Drive, Trello, and Dropbox without manual updates
Trigger invoices automatically (no more retyping client details)
Reduce costly errors caused by repetitive data entry
Save hours every week while running a more professional operation
