Freelance Translation Tips

This is the third interview my sister has with me. Here we talk about the Chicken and the Egg. If you don't know which comes first, how do you get started. Bear with us (and the stretch of a metaphor) and you will see how it relates to freelancing. Briefly, these are the 5 points mentioned in this episode: 1: SEO and online marketing. 2. Friends and Family. 3. Do jobs for low pay. 4. Do a job for free. 5. Recognize opportunities. With the question of the chicken and the egg, recognize when an egg (or chicken) comes to you. ---- Follow Acahi on Twitter: @Acahilanguages Follow Acahi on Facebook: www.Facebook.com/AcahiTranslations Check out our Ebook: http://www.tinyurl.com/freelancetranslation And don't forget to Subscribe!

This episode discusses Products vs. Services and some of the differences between them, such as how you usually pay for Products in advance, but you pay for Services after they've been rendered. So how can you change your Translation service into a product? The books I mention are: The E-myth revisited, by Michael Gerber: http://www.amazon.com/The-E-Myth-Revisited-Small-Businesses/dp/0887307280?&linkCode=wsw&tag=dumage-20 Built to Sell, by John Warrillow: http://www.amazon.com/Built-Sell-Creating-Business-Without/dp/1591845823?&linkCode=wsw&tag=dumage-20 The Chicken and Egg video I mention: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0dFD8e3vn4 *** If you click on these links I provide to purchase the books on Amazon, the price does not change for you, but Amazon gives me a (small) percentage of your purchase, and these small amounts allow me to continue broadcasting. So I would appreciate your clicking on these links when you make your purchase!
