Earn money with digital scanning and archiving

Time is money, but so is space. Offices pay per square foot. They’re wasting money.

When pitching your services to health care providers, here’s another revenue stream that is often forgotten — digital scanning and archiving. Take the doctor over to the mountains of file cabinets from floor to ceiling. Tell them you are Houdini and can make it all disappear into one computer.

Tell them to visualize what they could do with all that extra space. Maybe add another treatment room to generate more income. Then ask if they have storage space rented elsewhere. That bill can disappear, too.

Digital scanning and archiving records is part of the new electronic records that practices are trying to adopt. You can turn a mountain into a CD that follows health care providers wherever they need to be and save them floor space and money.

There are two methods to offer — charge a scanning fee and do it yourself (We suggest subcontracting the work and earn a handling fee because this is hours and hours of work) or offer a consulting deal where you teach staff how to do it.

Also, don’t forget other companies that need this service. Law firms and real estate companies drown in paperwork, too. Both are trying to save space and go electronic, too. It’s a whole other revenue stream that has barely been mined.
