Quick Start Guide: Finding and Using Your Unique Selling Point
When Marketing to Translation Buyers
Are you a freelancer struggling to land new clients?
What if I told you there’s one thing you could do today to grow your business?
The answer is simple. Your best strategy is to determine and define your Unique Selling Proposition (USP).
The real reason freelancers like you need a USP is simple: competition. Without a unique selling point, you’ll continue to get out-competed by a cheaper translator or writer.
A well-crafted USP also serves as a foundation for your company’s marketing efforts. It helps clarify your business goals, attract potential clients, and narrow the field of competition.
Many of my students have struggled with defining their own Unique Selling Proposition. This is why I have compiled all of my best tips and steps into an easy to follow e-book. If you follow the steps outlined in this eBook, you’ll walk away with a greater sense of confidence, a solid foundation for your marketing, and an effective USP for your freelance translation business.
I’ll teach you the definitions, tactics, arguments, and criteria vital to creating a suitable differentiator. Near the end of the book, you’ll see step-by-step process that’s guaranteed to coax out your perfect USP.
This is what the e-book will teach you:
- What a USP is and what it is not
- Why you need a USP
- Proven seven step process to find your USP
- Picking the right USP
- How to use your USP in your marketing

Who I Am
My name is Tess Whitty and I have been a freelance translator for almost 20 years. Before becoming a freelance translator, I worked as a product marketing manager and have been able to benefit a lot in my business from my background in marketing. Since 2010, I have shared my marketing expertise and my experience as a freelance translator with other translators. One of the first presentations and trainings I ever gave was on creating a marketing plan. Over the past several years I have continued to refine this information. I have a Master’s degree in International Marketing and an additional one in Business Communication and PR. This ebook is the result of my experience and insights from the Marketing Tips for Translators podcast, plus my marketing background. I hope it will help you find your unique selling proposition.
