About the book
My goal is to bring you the best knowledge and information possible to help you take your business to the next level. Each section of this book is adapted from a podcast interview with an established translator or other professional who is an expert in this field.
The ideas and tools explored in this book have produced positive results for translators at every stage in the game and they will for you too, whether you are a translator who:
- Is just getting started as a freelance translator or interpreter (for example, CV-tips from Marta Stelmaszak, and tips to start marketing your business from Corinne McKay)
- Needs proven marketing tactics and step-by-step strategies to create a steady stream of income (for example, warm email prospecting from Ed Gandia or pricing strategies from Sarah Freitas and Tess Whitty)
- Wants to take a translation career to the next level using marketing techniques and strategies (for example, productivity tips from Get-It-Done-Guy, or sales and negotiation tips from Konstantin Kisin and Paul Urwin)
I started my website and podcast Marketing Tips for Translators to connect with and share information (with) the international translation community. As translators we all share the same issues and concerns when it comes to our business. The podcast provides the perfect meeting ground where you can get to grips with those issues and seek advice.
This book contains the answers to some of the most asked questions when it comes to the challenges translators face. The chapters will help you discover the inspiration you need to market your translation services in an efficient way, as well as fresh ideas about productivity and tools for organizing your time and workday. It also gives you proven methods and systems for marketing to your ideal potential clients, and strategies for maintaining a continuous marketing plan for finding new clients.
