Theoretically

If I take my cpl & multiply it by my normal lines per hour it comes to around $30 an hour. Theoretically that's $60K gross (I'm an IC so I would have to deduct taxes & health insurance), but the thing is, I am really in the throes of burnout. So I just don't have the stamina to keyboard for 8 or more hours per day any more. I just can't do it. At the moment I work about 4 or 5 hours a day and the rest of the time I devote to my photography, with which I hope eventually to replace transcription.

Nay. Quite doubtful. I mean, you *could* do it theoretically, but s/m
you would have to work extremely hard and have that much work available to you consistently, which would be rare these days. It would be very unlikely you could get that in 7 hours. VERY unlikely. Sorry.

theoretically not, but practically, yes..nm

I suppose theoretically it's possible

If you're really fast and can average 300 lph or more and are making at least 10 cpl.

I hate to see them mislead people like that though. It takes a long time to build up that kind of speed. There are people on this board who say they can do it, though.
