10) When planning to make a video, provide a transcript of your material to your video team to make planning process easier for them. Also convert transcript into a workbook to go along with your video.

11) You can build a database of questions that get asked frequently along with your answers in Q&A sessions during your presentations for a valuable collection of information. Once transcribed, material can be converted into material for your website FAQ's section, or into handouts. NOTE: Make sure person asking question has a microphone, OR fully repeat question before giving your answer.

12) Rather than asking your client to write and mail a referral letter after your speech and event is all over, catch them while your presentation is fresh in their mind and suggest they tape their recommendation on your recorder, and let them know you'll have it transcribed and submit it to them for approval before using it. You can get other recorded referrals for transcription from attendees at same time.

13) As you're driving away from giving a speech, record your thoughts that are tumbling through your mind such as things to change next time, things to remember, and stream-of-consciousness ideas that flow freely. Once transcribed, you can form a plan of action based on your own heightened inspiration spurred by adrenaline of a successful event, and increase your overall success and productivity.

14) Convert recordings of your speeches into material for a book or ebook to help establish your reputation as a credible expert in your field and create additional profits for your business. Edit transcripts into chapters, add a table of contents, a cover, etc. You can have it bound simply or submit it for professional publication, or convert it into an ebook.

15) Once you have a book, have it professionally recorded by reading it out loud for an audio product to sell.

Partnering with a professional transcriptionist is a solid business strategy that can save you time, increase your creativity, and -- most importantly -- add profits to your bottom line.

6. Use your own credit card to finance purchases but do it cautiously. If interest rate is low and you can pay credit card company back relatively quickly, credit cards are often a good way to even out your cash flow.

7. Establish a line of credit with a bank. This is relatively easy to do so long as you have good credit and it gives you a cushion of cash when things are tight. Sometimes bank will offer a really good rate to encourage you to become their customer for other banking services.

8. Put cash that you have on hand in an interest bearing account. No reason to have cash sitting in an account that doesn’t accrue much interest. As cash grows consider money market accounts, CDs and savings accounts.

9. Pay your outstanding bills judiciously. Notice which vendors are willing to wait for payment and which will charge you interest if you are late. Schedule payment to maximize cash in your account.

10. Consider getting an expert to watch your cash flow. Have someone (financial advisor, accountant, bookkeeper) available to run financial reports each month so you know exactly where you stand in your business.
