Acceptance reason:
HI Mark

I would like to go ahead with your bid but have simply changed it to your deposit of £25 required to start off with.

I can continue to send work to you over time and in fact have 3 inventories coming in tonight which I could send your way but need back by tomorrow late afternoon (if not before if you can manage it) they are both relatively small inventories with easy layouts.

I pay 0.25p per audio minute and this will continue provided you are happy working with me and your standard is good (after a few completions of the same clients templates I hope do not to have to amend them too much).

As I am sure you are aware in this line of work nothing is guaranteed some weeks I have 5 bookings and others 45.

I look forward to your response.

With apologies for the delay - been too busy even to get any work across to anyone can you please confirm whether you are still interested in completing some work for me on an as and when required basis at 25p per audio minute?

Many thanks.

Kerry

With regard to the audio files then these all differ with each client as do the templates, dictation and file format therefore I cannot do this

With this type of transcription the inventory can be typed within double the transcription time as the template is set and there is not much fiddling to do therefore a 15 minute property inventory can take 30-40 minutes to type - this works out between £6-£7.50 per hour depending on how quick you actually are

A sample of one of your audio files would be useful to ensure that it works with my transcription software.

Thanks

Are you sure about 25p / per audio minute. That\'s daylight robbery as a full hour of audio which takes between 2-4 hours is only £15.00.

This stands for On-Target-Earnings and it indicates the amount the Freelancer can expect to earn if they meet the set targets. OTE is calculated as follows

Base Fee for the same time period: this is the fee Freelancer will get paid regardless of results e.g. £10 per hour for 50 hours a month = £500
+
Results Fee: targets x result fee (e.g. £5000 monthly sales x 50% commission = £2500 per month)

Total OTE =  £500 + £2500 = £3000/month

Please note that for the purpose of this calculation the following is used: 1 day = 8 hours, 1 week = 5 days and 1 month = 20 working days
