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.

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.
Solid basics, wanted more on pricing.
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.
翻訳の腕には自信があったのですが、フリーランスとして仕事を取る方法はまったくの手探りでした。この講座は、最初の案件の見つけ方から料金の決め方、編集サービスの売り込み方までを順を追って教えてくれます。実際に紹介されたやり方で営業のメールを送ってみたところ、初めての継続クライアントが見つかりました。ビジネスをゼロから組み立てる流れがとても具体的で、迷いがなくなりました。語学が好きな人に心からおすすめできる内容です。
Really practical breakdown of how to actually get your first paying translation clients instead of just theory about the industry.
