Dragon Naturally Speaking Makes NaNoWriMo Easier as long as you have Ideas!

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

This month is drawing to a close and I have been writing a novel using Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 and my pocket Sony MP3 Recorder.  This setup has worked fantastically for me.  Its about 26 hours until the deadline for NaNoWriMo expires (and I’m writing another blog article instead of finishing the contest).

image

To date I have written 45,022 words. It takes 50,000 words to finish the contest.  I’m almost done, and only need 5,000 words to finish.  I write that much today in three sessions (10 minutes, 10 minutes and 23 minutes).

I will probably finish tonight before I go to bed. Tomorrow, we are hitting the road for a Thanksgiving drive back from Illinois to North Carolina.  I could write quite a bit during that drive, but I’m not sure if I can concentrate with Scooby Doo playing on the kids DVD player in my ear.

Plus, I need to insure that I get the book loaded up into the system and confirmed before the midnight deadline tomorrow night.

Anyway, if you look at my chart above, you will see the ‘lurches’ in my writing activity.  That is not because I worked diligently everyday, completing 1700 words per day.  No, with Dragon and my poor habits and lack of planning and good distractions from the family, tend to miss a few days and then write several thousand words.

I often feel like I actually start writing after I’ve thought about a chapter or scene or two for a couple of days and then the idea just spills out of me as I write it up in a burst of 2-5 thousand words.  :)

I suspect that the book I’m writing will actually end up being about 250,000 words, so its going to be a long fun winter.  If I keep eating as much as I did this Thanksgiving, then I’m going to have to take the summer off to get into shape, or go get lyposuction or a Apidexin prescription or just shoot to become the worlds fattest man.

Cost Benefit and Break Even Analysis for deploying Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 for Bloggers

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

We have covered in depth through a seven part series how Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 can help bloggers earn more money working through several different popular and common blog & freelance writing monetization platforms offered by

  • textbroker.com
  • PayU2Blog.com
  • PayPerPost.com
  • Google Adsense

Below we offer a quick glimpse into the overall benefit that a writer/blogger could enjoy under the different platforms.

clip_image002

Each of these platforms utilizes a very different business model which can benefit bloggers that generate both quality work or large quantities of work. Google’s Adsense program while paying the least for lower quality also offers an almost unlimited amount of potential for bloggers that want to write to the maximum.

Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Blogger Break Even Analysis with Heavy Adsense Earnings

Tuesday, November 25th, 2008

In previous examples(Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6), I walked you through the logic that shows that you can pay for Dragon NaturallySpeaking in just over a half a day, with the extra earnings that you would receive if you write for textbroker.com. Dragon NaturallySpeaking can help you type so much faster, that you can earn a lot more money per hour.

Dragon Naturally Speaking Cost Benefit Analysis Across 4 Different Blog & Writing Monetization Platforms White Paper (871.4 KiB, 333 hits)

In this final article I’m going to walk you through a new scenario, focusing on how much more money you could earn if your blog earns money (‘good money!’) from Google’s Adsense program. Now with Adsense, the amount of money that you earn for your writing is not paid on a per word basis. It’s paid either based on the number of visitors that view your articles (CPM) or based on the people that click on ads on the same page where your article is published (PPC).

clip_image002

Regardless, the more people and traffic you have, the better your chances for more conversions and earnings with Adsense.

Bad Fishing Analogy - More articles, basically equates to more hooks in the lake to catch earnings.

So what can mad typing speed skills do to help you earn more money from Adsense?

First, here’s a list of some assumptions for this scenario. We will assume that an Average Traffic Blog has the following characteristics:

· CPC earnings of $0.31 per click (this can depend on site topic)

· Each article written generates 20,000 page views during the first 60 days after publication of an article

· Articles are on average 200 words long (long enough to be unique and be recognized by Google Search as unique)

· Articles will see a click through rate of .0041 or 0.41%

So if a person writes 5 articles totaling 1,000 words in length, those 5 articles should generate 100,000 page views x a click through rate of .0041 = 410 clicks x $0.31 = $127.10 of earnings!

You are doing great, how about learning how to do this faster and easier!

If you write more articles, your site in general will bring in more total page views and some of that traffic will even look around your site, read more, and maybe subscribe. Your page views will grow and your Adsense earnings will grow as well. Not to mention your earnings from other forms of advertising will go up also!

To make a good business decision, you have to determine how to get there from here.

So if you find a way to generate more articles -> more page views –> more earnings, well then you have done something right.

One component of the cost of those articles is the time you spend writing them. If you type at 35 words per minute for 50 minutes at a stretch taking a 10 minute break and then repeating that process for 4 hours, You will have written 35 articles of 200 words at the end of 4 hours.

Publishing those articles based on our assumptions will generate 700,000 page views. Those Page views will generate 2,870 clicks, and that will earn you $895.60 per day (for 4 hours of work).

That’s a little almost than $225 per hour. You might be internet famous, but who cares, you are earning good money!

clip_image004

The key is that it took you 4 hours to write 35 articles at 35 words per minute.

If you use Dragon Naturally Speaking you could write 150 articles in 4 hours with 10 minute breaks.

That would generate 3,000,000 page views translating into 12,300 clicks and earnings of $3,838 or about $960 per hour, if you weren’t before you will be internet famous now!

It also happens to be about 4 times more than you would earn if you only type 35 words per minute.

Now Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 costs between $99 and $199. (discount and promo accounts can save you $25 and $50 respectively if you buy before December 31)

At this point I’m not even going to go any further with this cost analysis. You can pay for Dragon Naturally Speaking in the amount of time it takes one of your readers to read your article!

It’s definitely a no brainer.

Now, for a reality check. Odds are you may not be able to sit down and write article after article for more than an hour at 150 words per minute, your brain will run out of material!

But the articles that you can write can be written much faster than you could before, and you CAN use that time to do many other things to grow your site and your earnings Go out and have some fun.

clip_image006

So to put this in better perspective, if you wrote 9 articles, and those articles were each 200 words long, then you would have written a total of 1800 words.

  • 1800 words can be typed in 50 minutes at 35 words per minute
  • 1800 words can be typed in 12 minutes at 150 words per minute

Dragon NaturallySpeaking can essentially cut your work load down by 1/5th!

Now with those additional thirty-eight minutes, you can spend more time:

  • promoting your blog,
  • networking with people,
  • researching other projects,
  • taking on other work from other networks
  • Sell advertising additional advertising on your site. At 3 million page views per day, you can probably charge $10 - $80k just for a banner ad!
  • The only reason why you are even fooling with Adsense at all is so that you can keep your operation lean and mean and avoid hiring an ad sales team.

You’re Done, Success Achieved. J

Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Blogger Break Even Analysis with Medium Adsense Earnings

It’s paid either based on the number of visitors that view your articles (CPM) or based on the people that click on ads on the same page where your article is published (PPC).

So what can faster typing speed capabilities do to help you earn more money from Adsense?

First, Let us list some assumptions for this scenario. We will assume that an Average Traffic Blog has the following characteristics.

· CPC earnings of $0.31 per click (this can depend on site topic)

· Each article written generates 1,000 page views during the first 60 days after publication

· Articles are on average 200 words long (long enough to be unique and be recognized by Google Search as unique)

· Articles will see a click through rate of .0041 or 0.41%

So if a person writes 5 articles totaling 1,000 words in length, those 5 articles should generate 5000 page views x a click through rate of .0041 = 20.5 clicks x $0.31 = $6.36 of earnings!

Wow! Stop the presses you are earning big bucks now. J Just kidding, that’s actually the wrong attitude. Google pays you to advertise on your site and pays you when your advertising is effective. If you are generating 1,000 page views per article, that is not bad but not super effective and so you can’t expect much for compensation. At these levels, you can probably expect to improve, because you certainly are not failing. J

However, if you write more articles, your site in general will bring in more total page views and some of that traffic will even look around your site, read more, and maybe subscribe. Your page views will grow and your Adsense earnings will grow as well. Not to mention your earnings from other forms of advertising will go up also!

clip_image004[1]

To make a good business decision, you have to determine how to get there from here.

You have to find a way to generate more articles -> more page views –> more earnings.

One component of the cost of those articles is the time you spend writing them. If you type at 35 words per minute for 50 minutes at a stretch taking a 10 minute break and then repeating that process for 4 hours, You will have written 35 articles of 200 words at the end of 4 hours.

Publishing those articles based on our assumptions will generate 35,000 page views. Those Page views will generate 144 clicks, and that will earn you $44.78.

That’s a little better than $11.20 per hour. Not internet famous or rich, but you can add that to your sites other earnings from companies like PayPerPost or PayU2Blog.

The key is that it took you 4 hours to write 35 articles at 35 words per minute.

If you use Dragon Naturally Speaking you could write 150 articles in 4 hours with 10 minute breaks.

That would generate 150,000 page views translating into 615 clicks and earnings of $191.91 or about $47.98 per hour, which again can be in addition to your other earnings from the same site off the same articles!

It also happens to be about 5 times more than you would earn if you only type 35 words per minute.

Now Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 costs between $99 and $199. (discount and promo accounts can save you $25 and $50 respectively if you buy before December 31)

So if you can earn an extra $36.78 per hour with Dragon through Adsense, Dragon will pay for itself after 2-3 hours if you buy the basic version without the discount code and 5-6 hours if you buy Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred without the discount code.

That’s pretty much a no brainer!

Consider also that during those 5-6 hours you spend writing to pay for Dragon Naturally Speaking, you will have brought in over 200,000 page views to your site, and many of those articles can earn a great deal from additional blog advertising and monetization options!

Now, for a reality check. Odds are you may not be able to sit down and write article after article for more than an hour at 150 words per minute. But the articles that you can write can be written much faster than you could before, and you CAN use that time to do many other things to grow your site and your earnings.

clip_image006[1]

Well if you could type at 150 words per minute with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and you currently type at 35 words per minute, then you could earn about $36.78 per hour more!

Reminder - This would assume that you could type articles nonstop at a hundred and fifty words per minute for fifty minutes. For most of us, that doesn’t mean a whole lot.

But to put this in better perspective, if you wrote 9 articles, and those articles were each 200 words long, then you would have written a total of 1800 words.

  • 1800 words can be typed in 50 minutes at 35 words per minute
  • 1800 words can be typed in 12 minutes at 150 words per minute

Dragon NaturallySpeaking can essentially save you 38 minutes when you write nine articles.

Now with those additional thirty-eight minutes, you can spend more time:

  • promoting your blog,
  • networking with people,
  • researching other projects,
  • taking on other work from other networks
  • Sell advertising on those very same articles for $5- $20 per ad in an article!
    • At just $5 per article that’s $45, and that will pay for the Preferred version of the software after 4 hours of work.

Your average part-time blogger could easily pay for Dragon NaturallySpeaking with the additional profits that they would earn from using Dragon NaturallySpeaking on a site monetized with Adsense in just 5 hours of work.

A half day of extra work gets you a pay raise of $36 / hour! :-)

Plus just think of all of the time, that you would now have to make yourself and your site even more successful!

The key is that it took you 4 hours to write 35 articles at 35 words per minute.

If you use Dragon Naturally Speaking you could write 150 articles in 4 hours with 10 minute breaks.

Now Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 costs between $99 and $199. (discount and promo accounts can save you $25 and $50 respectively if you buy before December 31)

So if you can earn an extra $5.69 per hour with Dragon through Adsense, Dragon will pay for itself after 17 hours if you buy the basic version without the discount code and 34 hours if you buy Dragon Naturally Speaking Preferred without the discount code.

If you buy them with the discount coupon code for Dragon Naturally speaking then it will pay for itself in 13 to 26 hours respectively. For most part time bloggers that is about 3 – 7 days of effort.

But consider that during, 26 hours of writing with Dragon, you will have written 996 articles of 200 words in length. Those 996 articles will generate 149,512 page views to your site in our model!

Now, for a reality check. Odds are you may not be able to sit down and write article after article for more than an hour at 150 words per minute.

Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Blogger Break Even Analysis with High PayPerPost Earnings

In this article I’m going to walk you through another scenario focusing on how much extra you could earn if you wrote for PayPerPost.com. Now at PayPerPost.com, the amount of money that you earn for your writing is not paid on a per word basis.

clip_image002

PayPerPost.com offers up opportunities, they call them opportunities, but you can also think of them as piecework or a job, and these "opportunities" typically have a minimum word count. The minimum word count is typically 200 words for your average article. In general the average article at PayPerPost on a high earning blog pays about $28. Sometimes they pay a little less, and sometimes they pay a little bit more.

Now if you are paid $28.00 to write a 200 word article, which breaks down to about 14 cents per word. That is about 200 times more than what you can make at textbroker.com. I mentioned that only for comparison purposes, because PayPerPost.com limits you to writing three articles per blog per day. That means that you can’t write there all day long for your single blog. (If you have additional blogs, you might be able to write additional articles on those other blogs.)

But if we assume, just to have a comparison to our textbroker.com example, if we assume that you could type articles at PayPerPost for fifty minutes straight, earning 14 cents per word, and you could type 35 words per minute, and then you could earn a $245 dollars per hour at PayPerPost. Now obviously, there’s not that much work there, but this does point to the rate at which you can earn things with the work that is available. That $245 would be the earnings you could make from about 8.8 Opportunities at $28 per Opportunity.

clip_image004

So bear with me with this example. :-)

So what can faster typing skills do to help you earn more money and PayPerPost?

Well if you could type at 150 words per minute with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and you currently type at 35 words per minute, then you could earn about $805 per hour more!

Reminder - This would assume that you could type articles nonstop at a hundred and fifty words per minute for fifty minutes. For most of us, that doesn’t mean a whole lot.

But to put this in better perspective, if you earned $245 from writing about nine articles, and those articles were each 200 words long, then you would have written a total of 1800 words.

  • 1800 words can be typed and 50 minutes at 35 words per minute
  • 1800 words can be typed in 12 minutes at 150 words per minute

clip_image006

Dragon NaturallySpeaking can essentially save you 38 minutes when you write nine articles.

Now with those additional thirty-eight minutes, you can spend more time:

  • promoting your blog,
  • networking with people,
  • researching other projects,
  • taking on other work from other networks
  • building up a new blog to command $28 per article!

You can pocket your $245 from twelve minutes worth of work. You can then spend the rest of that hour, working to ensure that the blog you publish those on performs very well. But the point is this, Dragon NaturallySpeaking can save you so much time, that it will pay for itself very quickly.

Your average part-time blogger may easily afford to pay for Dragon NaturallySpeaking with the additional profits that they would earn from using Dragon NaturallySpeaking in less than 30 minutes worth of blogging.

:-)

Plus just think of all of the time, that you would now have to make yourself and your site even more successful!

Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Blogger Break Even Analysis with Average PayPerPost Earnings

In previous examples(Part 1, Part 2) , I walked you through the logic showing that you can pay for Dragon NaturallySpeaking in just over a half a day, with the extra earnings that you would receive if you write for textbroker.com.

Dragon Naturally Speaking Cost Benefit Analysis Across 4 Different Blog & Writing Monetization Platforms White Paper (871.4 KiB, 333 hits)

Basically, Dragon NaturallySpeaking can help you type so much faster, that you can earn a lot more money per hour.

In this article I’m going to walk you through another scenario focusing on how much extra you could earn if you wrote for PayPerPost.com and you had a single average blog. Now at PayPerPost.com, the amount of money that you earn for your writing is not paid on a per word basis.

clip_image002

PayPerPost.com offers up opportunities, they call them opportunities, but you can also think of them as piecework or a job, and these "opportunities" typically have a minimum word count. The minimum word count is typically 200 words for your average article. In general the average article at PayPerPost on a high earning blog pays about $8.3. Sometimes they pay a little less, and sometimes they pay a little bit more, and a few go to extremes on the positive side.

Now if you are paid $8.3 to write a 200 word article, then that breaks down to about 4.2 cents per word. That is about 6 times more than what you can make at textbroker.com. I mentioned that only for comparison purposes, because PayPerPost.com limits you to writing three articles per blog per day.

That means that you cannot write at PayPerPost all day long for your single blog. (If you have additional blogs, you might be able to write additional articles on those other blogs.)

clip_image004

Tip! – You can write your three articles at PayPerPost, write some additional articles without any sponsors in between those articles (as is required), and then write some articles at PayU2Blog, and when the work is exhausted there, you can write some articles at TextBroker.com! The trick is working for the company that pays you the most first, then moving on to the next highest margin provider, over and over again.

You will see in the case studies with Adsense that writing MORE articles is actually good for building traffic to your blog!

But if we assume, just to have a comparison to our textbroker.com example, if we assume that you could type articles at PayPerPost for fifty minutes straight, earning 4.2 cents per word, and you could type 35 words per minute, you could earn $72.88 dollars per hour at PayPerPost. Now obviously, you cannot take 9 articles on a single blog in a single day, but this does point to the rate at which you can earn things with the work that is available. That $72.88 would be the earnings you could make from about 8.8 Opportunities at $8.3 per Opportunity.

So bear with me again with this example. :-)

So what can faster typing skills do to help you earn more money at PayPerPost?

clip_image006

Well if you could type at 150 words per minute with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and you currently type at 35 words per minute, then you could earn about $239 per hour more! (Dragon only costs between $99 and $199 remember!)

Reminder - This would assume that you could type articles nonstop at a hundred and fifty words per minute for fifty minutes. For most of us, that doesn’t mean a whole lot.

But to put this in better perspective, if you earned $72.88 from writing about nine articles, and those articles were each 200 words long, then you would have written a total of 1800 words.

  • 1800 words can be typed and 50 minutes at 35 words per minute
  • 1800 words can be typed in 12 minutes at 150 words per minute

Dragon NaturallySpeaking can essentially save you 38 minutes when you write nine articles.

Now with those additional thirty-eight minutes, you can spend more time:

  • promoting your blog,
  • networking with people,
  • researching other projects,
  • taking on other work from other networks
  • build up a new blog to command $8.3 per article!
  • Go write some articles for PayU2Blog
  • Go write some articles for TextBroker
  • Go write some articles to bring in more traffic and earn more money through Adsense!

You can pocket your $72.88 from twelve minutes worth of work. You can then spend the rest of that hour, working to ensure that the blog you publish those on performs very well. But the point is this, Dragon NaturallySpeaking can save you so much time, that it will pay for itself very quickly.

Your average part-time blogger will easily pay for Dragon NaturallySpeaking with the additional profits that they would earn from using Dragon NaturallySpeaking in less than 1 hour worth of blogging through PayPerPost alone. :-)

Plus just think of all of the time, that you would now have to make yourself and your site even more successful!

Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Blogger Break Even Analysis with PayU2Blog Earnings

Monday, November 24th, 2008

In a previous example, I walked you through the logic that shows that you can pay for Dragon NaturallySpeaking in just over a half a day, with the extra earnings that you would receive if you write for textbroker.com. Dragon NaturallySpeaking can help you type so much faster, that you can earn a lot more money per hour.

In this article I’m going to walk you through another scenario focusing on how much extra you could earn if you wrote for PayU2Blog.com, then I’ll cover PayPerPost and Google Adsense.

clip_image002

Now at PayU2Blog.com, the amount of money that you earn for your writing is not paid on a per word basis.

PayU2Blog.com offers up assignments, they call them assignments, but you can think of them as piecework or a job, and these "assignments" typically have a minimum word count. The minimum word count is typically 60 words for your average article. In general the average article at PayU2Blog on a high earning blog pays about $5. Sometimes they pay a little less, and sometimes they pay a little bit more.

Now if you are paid $5.00 to write a 60 word article, then that breaks down to about 8.3 cents per word(It is also 2.5 cents if it’s a 200 word article, they pay a flat $5 no matter the length, but they keep other requirements simple and minimalistic.) At 2.5 cents per word that is about 3.5 times more than what you can make at textbroker.com, but you have to have your own website at PayU2Blog.

I mentioned this only for comparison purposes.

clip_image004

But if we assume, just to have a comparison to our textbroker.com example, that you could type articles at PayU2Blog for fifty minutes straight, earning 8.3 cents per word, AND you could type 35 words per minute, then you could earn $145 dollars per hour at PayU2Blog.

Now, there’s not, that much work there such that you could get 29+ assignments per hour on a single blog, but this does point to the rate at which you can earn things with the work that is available. However, it is definitely possible to get 29+ assignments spread across multiple sites.

So bear with me with this example. :-)

So what can faster typing capabilities do to help you earn more money and PayU2Blog?

Well if you could type at 150 words per minute with Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and you currently type at 35 words per minute, then you could earn about $479 per hour more!

Reminder - This would assume that you could type articles nonstop with an unlimited number of available assignments. For most of us, that doesn’t mean a whole lot.

But to put this in better perspective, if you earned $145 from writing about 29 articles, and those articles were each 60 words long, then you would have written a total of about 1800 words.

  • 1800 words can be typed and 50 minutes at 35 words per minute
  • 1800 words can be typed in 12 minutes at 150 words per minute

· Double Reality Check, this example is really just to give you a sense of the rate. Odds are you will not stop at just 60 words per minute, but will write more words. You will see with the Adsense examples that this is good for business in many other ways including building up more traffic and earning money on top of this revenue stream!

clip_image006

Dragon NaturallySpeaking can essentially save you 38 minutes when you write nine articles.

Now with those additional thirty-eight minutes, you can spend more time:

  • promoting your blog,
  • networking with people,
  • researching other projects,
  • taking on other work from other networks
  • build up a new blog to command $5 per article and qualify for more assignments!

You can pocket your $145 from twelve minutes worth of work. You can then spend the rest of that hour, working to ensure that the blog you publish those on performs very well. But the point is this, Dragon NaturallySpeaking can save you so much time, that it will pay for itself very quickly.

Your average part-time blogger could easily pay for Dragon NaturallySpeaking with the additional profits that they would earn from using Dragon NaturallySpeaking in less than 30 minutes worth of blogging. :-)

Plus just think of all of the time, that you would now have to make yourself and your site even more successful!

Dragon Naturally Speaking 10 Blogger Break Even Analysis with TextBroker.com Earnings

Monday, November 24th, 2008

I would like to walk you through several different scenarios to help all of us understand better what our words are worth.

Dragon Naturally Speaking Cost Benefit Analysis Across 4 Different Blog & Writing Monetization Platforms White Paper (871.4 KiB, 333 hits)

I would like to start first by talking about a company that pays people to write. They pay them to write based on the number of words that are written. The company is called text broker.com and they are out of Germany and relatively new. I’m starting with TextBroker.com because the business model is very simple. The models will get more complex as I go through some of the other popular blog revenue sources.

clip_image002

Text broker.com will pay a person approximately 7/10 of a cent for a single word. They charge their customers approximately 1 penny per word. And they sell this service at increments starting at 100 words and go up from there.

That’s what they do; now let’s see how Dragon Naturally Speaking can pay for itself!

So, I’d really like to talk about how much you can earn from them based on how fast you type.

If you type 35 words per minute, and you typed for 50 minutes straight, you could theoretically type 1750 words.

Now at seven tenths of a penny per word, that work would be $12.25 per hour assuming that you take a ten minute break every hour. If you work four hours a day doing this, that would be forty-nine dollars per day.

If you could type 105 words per minute, that would be 5250 words in a fifty minute period of time. At that rate, you would earn $36.75 per hour assuming the same ten minute breaks every hour.

clip_image004

Obviously you can earn more if you can type faster.

If you could type 150 words per minute, then under this formula you could earn $52.50 per hour. That’s almost 5 times more than you can earn if you type thirty-five words per hour.

So in this example there is definitely a value in typing faster!

There is a cost associated with being able to type as fast as well. You could go and take a typing class and learn how to type 150 words per minute. That might take you many months of school, and many years of practice.

It’s also possible, that you may never be able to achieve that speed with your fingers.

Alternatively, you could buy Dragon NaturallySpeaking and be able to do it before the night was out. Dragon NaturallySpeaking costs $99 for the basic version and $199 for the preferred version.

As I write this, there are coupon code or discount code offers that you can use to save more money off that price. The coupon codes vary from $25-$50 off the price. Typically a bigger discount is offered for the preferred version, which I use myself.

Now in our example, if you bought Dragon NaturallySpeaking for ninety-nine dollars, and you did not use the coupon code to save twenty-five dollars, you would be able type 150 words per minute, and if you could previously type 35 words per minute, then based on the extra money that you could earn by typing faster, you would be able to pay for Dragon NaturallySpeaking in less than three hours of work using textbroker.com.

It kind of seems like a no-brainer. In many ways, it is a no-brainer with one exception. Not everybody writes for textbroker.com.

clip_image006

If you consider how much additional money you might earn by using Dragon NaturallySpeaking, and consider how much more work you could do by being able to type at 150 words per minute, then you might be able to figure out how long it will take you to pay off the software with your earnings.

I will cover a number of other situations, which will highlight this using other examples where people that typically write a great deal, could benefit from using Dragon NaturallySpeaking.

If you have an example that you would like to share, please let me know, and I will be more than happy to share it with everyone. :-)
