AND/OR

Do you feel you spend all of your time on translation work, with no time to market your business?

Do you experience periods of feast – with too much work – and famine – with no work?

Do you just work on whatever jobs that land in your inbox, without a strategy to get the clients and projects you really want to work with?

If so, you’re not alone! In fact I was in that situation when I first started out too. Until I realized that in order to create a steady income from my freelance business, I needed to do one simple thing: Market the business on a regular schedule, with a solid plan to back it up. This is why I created the complete marketing system for you. This is not a quick fix solution to solve a temporary problem, it is a complete system for your freelance translation business. This course will give you everything you need to set goals, find clients, market on a consistent schedule and find more peace in your business.

What is it?

A step-by-step course to create a marketing strategy for busy freelance translators. The strategy is adjusted to your career situation. Two different tracks: beginner, experienced. Different general target markets: agencies, direct clients, and your personalized marketing plan.
