Ottimo per iniziare, un po' generico sui prezzi.

Khóa học hướng dẫn khá chi tiết cách bắt đầu công việc dịch thuật tự do, từ việc lập hồ sơ đến tìm khách hàng đầu tiên. Phần nói về cách định giá dịch vụ giúp mình tự tin hơn hẳn khi báo giá. Chỉ tiếc là phần công cụ hỗ trợ dịch thuật hơi lướt qua nhanh.

번역 일감 따는 법과 요즘 도구 활용까지 알려줘서 부업으로 시작하기 딱 좋았어요, 클라이언트 파트가 조금 더 길었으면.

I've done translation work casually for years but never knew how to turn it into an actual side income until this course. The lessons on pricing per word versus per project cleared up something I'd been confused about for a long time. Now I have a simple system for finding clients and following up that actually works.

This course gave me a clear roadmap for finding my first translation clients instead of just guessing what to do.

Solid overview of building a translation side business, though I wish there was more detail on which niches pay best.
