Straightforward, useful, exactly what I needed.
Od dawna marzyłam o pracy jako tłumaczka, ale nie wiedziałam, jak zamienić to w realny biznes. Kurs prowadzi cię krok po kroku od zera: jak zdobyć pierwszych klientów, jak ustalać stawki i jak dorzucić do oferty usługi redakcyjne. Najbardziej doceniam praktyczne wskazówki dotyczące budowania portfolio i kontaktu z klientem. Po przerobieniu materiału wysłałam pierwsze oferty i już mam zlecenie próbne. Naprawdę porządne i konkretne wprowadzenie do freelancingu w tłumaczeniach.
Really practical breakdown of how to actually get your first paying translation clients instead of just theory about the industry.
Pensavo di sapere già tradurre, ma qui ho imparato il lato imprenditoriale che mi mancava: come trovare clienti, fissare le tariffe e proporre anche il servizio di editing. La guida pratica mi ha aiutata a impostare la mia attività da freelance partendo davvero da zero. Consigliatissimo a chi ama le lingue.
I've been translating on and off for years but never treated it like an actual business until I took this course. It walks through pricing your work properly, which was the part I needed most since I was massively underselling myself compared to market rates. The section on finding direct clients instead of relying only on agencies opened up a whole angle I hadn't considered. Everything is laid out in a logical order, from setting up your services to handling the editing side of the work too. I raised my rates the week after finishing and none of my regular clients blinked. It feels written by someone who's actually run a translation business, not just researched one.
Solid basics, wanted more on pricing.
