Every year, March Marketing Madness is Training for Translators’ most popular offering. This year, we had 138 participants. For the past two years, Academia de los Grandes Traductores has run a Spanish version of MMM in September, and I’m wondering whether other members of the T4T community would like to run a marketing challenge group in your language, using the MMM materials? If you have the desire and the skills to teach business development to other freelancers, I think it’s a cool way to create a supportive community for freelancers in a language other than English.
You can 100% steal the MMM idea and run a marketing challenge group in your language, with no affiliation to T4T! But if you’d like to run March Marketing Madness in your language, here’s what you get. Rights to all languages except Spanish are available; the cost is US $1,500 per language and you can pay this in up to three installments, as long as the full fee is paid before I create the materials for your challenge.
- I will make a custom promotional video (in English or French) for you, encouraging people to sign up for your challenge; (see below about subtitling into your language).
- I will make a custom welcome video (in English or French) for your participants.
- I will re-record up to 10 of the 2025 March Marketing Madness motivational videos for you, including your challenge’s name and information (i.e. “Welcome to day three of the Powerful Portuguese Marketing Challenge”). You can then manually subtitle these in your language, or start from a draft generated by Happy Scribe (I have the paid account) that you can then edit.
- You can translate as much of the March Marketing Madness material into your language as you want; if you want to use all of it, you don’t need to create any new material.
- If you want to use Slack as your discussion forum, I will walk you through how I create the March Marketing Madness Slack groups.
- Once your challenge is open for registration, I will promote in in the Training for Translators newsletter and social media channels.
How much to charge for your challenge is up to you; March Marketing Madness is $90 for new participants and $80 for returning participants. My goal is to charge a licensing fee ($1,500 per language) that reflects the work I put into creating the MMM materials but also allows you to make a profit with a realistic number of attendees, and that allows you to run a challenge with minimal content creation work.
