Update: the May 14 session of Beyond the Basics is now full. Registration is open for the August 20 session (same links as below)
The next session of my online course Beyond the Basics of Freelancing starts next Wednesday (May 14) and I have four spots left. The course lasts four weeks and is for established freelance translators who want to work with higher-quality agencies and with direct clients. Everyone gets individualized feedback from me on four homework assignments: the current state of your business; marketing to the clients you want rather than taking the work that falls in the inbox; money matters (rates and income) and creating a plan to move your business forward. In addition, everyone gets a one-hour individual consulting call with me, and we do four one-hour question and answer conference calls with the whole group. The last session went quite well, with this feedback from a student:
This course boosted my confidence immensely in terms of how to look for work and it gave me a sense of direction and of what I need to do in order to find long-term success as a freelance translator. Before, I felt as though I was reaching around in the dark and this course has really clarified the “how-to” business aspects for me.
Registration is $325, with a $50 discount for members of the American Translators Association. Read the full description or register on my website, and you can also read about/register for my beginner-level class, Getting Started as a Freelance Translator, which starts on June 18 (seven spots left in that session).
I cannot WAIT to take this course! I am still in my UCSD certificate program, and am not quite ready yet, but I look forward to learning from you in a future session! Thanks, Corrine!
Thanks Rena! Hope to work with you at some point in the future!
Hi Corinne, Will you be holding this again soon? I am interested but the next couple of weeks are a really bad time for me. Thanks for your response!
Thanks Andie! Yes, I’ll do another session in August (my beginner class runs in June and then I’m taking a month off!)
Hi Corinne! I am a big fan of your blog, books and useful tips you care to share with us via your great posts. First of all, allow me to thank you so much for your generosity. Regarding the “Beyond the basics…” course, do you still have available places? When trying to register I was directed to the session planned for August. Thanks in advance for your reply.
Please disregard my question (above) about availability for May. Have just seen the course is now full !
Thanks Claudia! Yes, the May session is now full, but you can join us in August!
