Three ways to find your first translation clients12 April 2017
6:00 PM MSKMany freelance translators struggle with the chicken-and-egg dilemma during their first few years in business. Clients don't want to hire people with no experience, but how do you get experience if no one will hire you? In this webinar, we'll look at three specific ways to find those first few clients:
In-person marketing in your local area
Agencies that base their hiring primarily on their own tests
A micro-niche in which you can establish yourself as an expert
We'll look at the pluses and minuses of each of these strategies, along with ways to put each technique into practice. Finally, we'll look at a few case studies of translators who used these techniques to develop a viable business.
Please note this webinar will be delivered in English.
