Why did I write this book?

I believe that every freelancer has the potential to exceed their own expectations.

Whatever their own personal measure of success looks like, I feel there’s a marketing approach to suit it.

That’s because after deciding to become a freelance translator, I have never looked back.

I have worked as a freelance English-Swedish translator since 2003. After moving from Sweden to the US in 2001, I embarked on my career as a translator to get my own personal holy grail of availability for my family, job satisfaction and success.

In the 17 intervening years, I’ve learnt a lot. There’s no doubt that my professional qualifications and experience in marketing helped me along the way.

This book, The Marketing Cookbook for Translators, is a culmination of these efforts. It contains over a decade’s worth of experience learned firsthand as I constructed my own thriving business in the growing translation industry. My hope is that you are able to benefit from this knowledge and apply these simple marketing recipes to your own life and business. I wish you every success and I look forward to you taking this journey with me.

By writing the Marketing Cookbook for Translators, I wanted to create an easy to follow guide for freelance translators looking to grow their business, outlining all the marketing and client retention strategies to make that dream a reality. I wanted it to be as easy as following a recipe in a cookbook and this is it.
