What do you think?

Okay, so I'm the starving Bible college student, lol, who's trying to pay her way through school. Anyways, I've been working for a very popular transcription (typing) company for a few years now but because of the economy they are laying people off and I was one of those who got laid off.

Something that has been on my heart for quite some time now is how I can mix my profession (typing) with what I love doing (ministry)--hence, I thought it would be a great idea to start a sermon transcription company.

I was wondering though what you guys thought of the idea. Do you think there is a market for it and that churches would actually be interested? I work in the office in my home church and so I'm very accustomed to writing letters and cards, etc., but I don't want to embark on a business prospect if there's just no market for it. What do you all think? Does your church do this kind of thing?

Well someone thinks so...

Digital Sermon Transcription - Home
Faith First Sermon Transcription Service - Sermon, Church, Business, Teleconference, General, Seminar, More - Tennessee - Faith First Transcription

I don't know if it's a profitable business or not, but people out there are trying to make it one.

Your best bet would be to go to churches in your area and ask around. Start with any churches who offer sermons online. Your service could create a pdf file to complement the sermons they already have up. See what they think.

You could also apply as a secretary to help type up other notes, periodicals, etc.
