New course: Beyond the Basics of Freelancing

I’m excited to announce that my new course, Beyond the Basics of Freelancing, is now open for registration! For a while, I’ve been wanting to offer a more advanced course as a sequel to Getting Started as a Freelance Translator (running since 2006!), and I’ve finally forced myself to work on the course materials. The first session of Beyond the Basics will start on February 26, and then I’ll probably offer another session in May.

Every student will receive copies of my books How to Succeed as a Freelance Translator and Thoughts on Translation, a one-hour individual consultation call with me, and individualized feedback on: your current and potential marketing materials; a profile of your ideal client, and a list of direct clients you’d like to market to; a plan for raising your profile in the translation industry and meeting your potential direct clients on their turf; a financial plan for your translation business, and a plan of action for the next six months so that you can reach these goals. In addition, we’ll do a one-hour question and answer conference call every week (one of the most popular features of Getting Started as a Freelance Translator!). The cost is the same as for my Getting Started course, US $305 with a $50 discount for members of the American Translators Association. You can read the details about both courses on my website. Hope to see some of you there!

    This sounds great, Corinne! I had always toyed with the idea of taking your “Getting Started” course, but felt I was a bit past your target audience. I may sign up for this one in the near future. 🙂

    This should be really useful for anyone trying to undertake this profession. I noticed a lot of people on-line asking about what steps they need to take in order to start a freelancing line of work. It is very tempting to anyone to be their own boss, even if the pay is not guaranteed and consistent.
