The freelance translation is quickly growing to be one of the best opportunities for people who wish to work from home. A combination of an economic downturn resulting in a difficulty in finding new jobs, near-universal access to the Internet, and the ever-increasing globalization of businesses and organizations, has head to a perfect storm of opportunity for those who speak more than one language. According to commons sense advisory, a consulting firm, the translation, interpreting, and localization industry have revenues of $37 billion per year, and it continues to grow.

Translators can now earn a great living in ways that were unimaginable just 10-15 years ago. You can get paid to translate documents for the clients you choose, during the hours you choose, and wearing the clothes that you choose.

Unfortunately, many translators will miss this opportunity because freelance translation means an entirely new process that no course or school teaches.

Do you know where to find clients? How do you discern useful clients from the wastes of time? How can you make sure they pick you as a translator? How will you get paid, and get paid in time? How can you avoid working for a pittance?

You've learned your language, and this book concentrates on everything else. It walks you through the process of becoming a successful freelance translator, from preparation to being chosen, to the translation process, to getting paid, and even to expansion if you want to see how far you can take your translation business. This book corresponds to my self-paced course: "How to be a successful freelance translator".
