Translators Resources

|
Before I point you towards some important translators resources, I have heard through the e-grapevine that getting translation work is getting tougher. Even though the world is uniting more and more every day, and the need for translators to help the world unite is becoming an ever greater necessity, it doesn't necessarily follow that you will always have work as a translator, nor does it mean that finding work is easy. I want you to consider one thing... You are the key to your own success. The more you are determined to succeed, the more likely it is that you will succeed. You have to roll up your sleeves and determine your own success until you see results, never give up. Now, with that said, let me point you in in a couple of directions and towards a couple of translators resources to get you going right away. First off, if you don't know about Alex Eames, he has developed some tools and products that can help you get into a good work flow quickly. His site is full of translators resources, it is called translatortips.com created specifically towards helping translators do better business |
Translation Sevices |
- If you have good reading skills in one language and good written skills in your mother-tongue...
- If you have a good common-sense approach to running a business...
- If you are prepared to work hard and make sacrifices...
- Then you probably have what it takes to be an extremely successful freelance translator.
- NEVER highlight your weaknesses, always emphasise your strengths.
If you fit into and agree with all the above considerations, and you are striving to succeed as a translator…
Then seriously consider getting Alex's e-book, How to Earn $80,000+ per Year as a Freelance Translator.
You will also find an excellent FREE ezine for translators, and a FREE download go check it out. He has more than 30,000 subscribers, he must be doing something right!
If you are interested in saving an enormous amount of time in your quest for translation work, and you are interested in having an experienced guide show you how to optimize your efforts to get the best results possible, avoiding the potential traps that waste your time and hard earned money along the way...
...then I think it would be foolish not to examine the services and translators resources that Alex offers.
Sign-up to his newsletter as well, he offers good day to day advice for anyone who is translating, both on and offline.
Another translator resource that will help you better your translation endeavors is my Translate to Success Newsletter.
Go to my sign-up page (Newsletter Info) and give it a go, it is a free newsletter, so you have absolutely nothing to lose. My Newsletter Info page describes what you can expect to find in this newsletter.
Considering the world state of affairs in this moment, that is, global recession, I want to point you in a direction that I believe can help you to find and maintain a constant work flow.
As a translator, perhaps you have noticed that work is scarce despite the rapidly expanding internet on an international level. Translation demands are constantly growing, this I know for a fact based on search engine requests.
From what I have gathered, the number of online translators now available is also growing very rapidly, thus the scarcity of work. With the recession included, rates are also dropping (there is an influx of third world translators that are content with less).
What do you do?
It is my humble opinion that when the competition gets tough, it is time to improve your marketing skills. You need to dedicate more energy into your marketing endeavors.
Online sales don't just happen because you offer a product or service. There is a whole art and science to the process, you have to really apply yourself to see results.
If you are interested, I want to send you at least one marketing school that I feel can definitely help you to learn online marketing.
Then, constantly apply what you learn. Apply, track, modify... over and over and over again.
You will, slowly but surely, see results.
Below, I have inserted just one link to a good marketing school that I have found online that works well for beginners. By simply exploring this listed site and downloading free courses, newsletters, etc. from them, you can start to get a feel for what they offer. To really learn marketing in depth though, you are going to have to buy something. You can't be a tire kicker (everything for FREE surfer) and expect to learn what others have dedicated a lifetime to learning. In Italy they say, "you want your wife drunk and the wine keg full".
You have to examine your priorities.
Ken Evoy offers ...
Many marketing services, including SiteBuildIt! and MakeYourSiteSell! , truly top notch learning... click here for more info. I have come across quite a few sites that offer translators resources, but I don't want to turn this page into a large index of a hundred different references of translators resources sites where you can go just because translation info is found on them. In my opinion, this would only dilute, and possibly confuse my purposes here.
I present very few translators resources choices on purpose.
My aim is to help you get work now, and to help you stay constantly busy for as long as you choose.
There is one translation site that I enjoyed in particular that is worth mentioning here…
Accurapid.com - a translators resources site
- There you will find a lot of great articles written by other expert translators and translators resources specific to translating.
As I come across good translators resources that are specific to my aims for this page I will list them.
Most Sincerely,
