Posted by in Transcription on Mar 10, 2010


One effective way to repurpose your old videos and podcasts is to provide transcripts of these videos and podcasts.

Repurposing your videos and podcasts for a reading audience increases your reach and therefore, potential clients/followers/fans/buyers. It also means doubling the content on your blog. And, ultimately, the money you make online.

This is easily achieved by utilizing podcast transcription.

How to Really Know You Need to Provide Transcripts of Your Videos

  • If you host your videos on Youtube check the demographics of your Youtube account. Are your videos watched by your target audience? You may go further and see age group, sex or country even. If your answer is no or maybe, then that’s a good reason to start targeting the non-video watching audience of your niche.
  • Check your Google analytics or any other you may use, and confirm whether the bulk of your visitors are your target audience. If not, you may want to give providing transcripts a serious thought.
