video on TikTok<\/a>\u00a0explaining how she was able to get started with the company.Advertisement<\/p>\n\n\n\nJanine didn’t share exactly how much she was able to make during her time with the company, but Rev said the average transcriptionist completes 15 jobs and earns around $156 per month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Below are a few of her tips to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Stick with it<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Good things come to those who wait, and with this gig, you may have to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To make this side hustle worth your while, you will need to stay with it for some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Janine said that in the beginning, the pay is not that great and the actual job is quite slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“It does get better just as you get better,” Janine said on TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Wait to take on bigger projects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
This tip is just for those who are just getting started in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This means not choosing any projects that are over 20 to 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
She suggests starting small as it’s imperative to know your speed, keep your editing skills reliable, and keep your rating high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Time and experience are key<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Janine said that with time and practice, your skills will improve and that’s when you can make more money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Plus, skills like editing, listening, and typing will all improve which can help you in other similar side hustles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. The search feature<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The hustler said the search feature on Rev is a tool to take advantage of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Users are able to search for any common mistakes that you could have made in your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once they are found, users can quickly correct them as workers will get docked on mistakes made which will bring your score down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
