In an ideal translation world, all translators would only work for high-paying direct clients, so-much-so that we’d only need to work two or three days a week and the rest of the week would be spent relaxing. Many translators wonder how to attract direct clients, and it’s a hurdle that many struggle to overcome. Most translators would love to work with more direct clients, but the question still remains: How and where do you find direct clients? That is what is covered in this episode.

Important things mentioned in this episode:

• How to determine who our direct clients are
• How to research and find direct clients
• Resources we need to market to direct clients
• How to make sure direct clients find us
