Step 1
If you are not familiar with medical transcription, there are many quick and easy courses available (link to course below, under Resources heading).

Step 2
Once you have learned the trade, you will begin to get business by mailing letters to local and regional medical offices promoting your services. Highlight fast turn-around time and low pricing.

As the calls come in, you will need to have a sheet available with all of your business information to answer any and all question immediately (just for the first few weeks).

Once you begin to maintain a large number of accounts, you can easily hire and train employees/contractors to assist you in your new, growing business.

on 2/15/2009 There is a step between your 1 and your 2 that most people would need--experience. A hospital or transcription service is a good place to work for about two years before stepping out on your own. That's my advice, anyway. If you'r gutsy enough to try it without that step, then I say GO FOR IT!. You'll more than likely succeed becaus you're tough. :o)
