Working for Translation Agencies as a Freelancer

| A Guide for Novice Translators he
translation profession has recently undergone three important changes:
globalization, professionalization, and specialization. Not so long ago
translators would mainly operate on local markets, delivering their
translations in person. With the advent of the Internet and e-mail, the
profession has gone global and geographical boundaries have
disappeared. On the one hand, this means that translators may solicit
clients from all over the world; on the other hand, it means a markedly
larger pool of translators agencies may choose from; hence, increased
competition. Combined with the recent rapid development of translator
education, the increased competition means that it is more difficult to
get into the profession if you do not have sufficient education and
training. The market has also evolved into higher specialization which
is driven by the growing knowledge of languages, in particular of
English, among employees. Easier texts are translated in-house by
clients themselves, while more specialized or technically complex ones
are outsourced to translation agencies.

How To Run A Stress

Topic Work as Freelancer
| Free Home-Based Business
I think we can all agree that stress is one of the worst things in life. If you manage stress well, you can also manage your business and your life well. Living with stress can make running any business a chore. Too much unmanaged stress can break up families and friends, and will ultimately be fatal to your small business and your health. The ideal business plan for an entrepreneur that expects to be successful "down the road" is to develop multiple streams of income. When starting a home-based business, you can immediately begin working on your second "stream" by not quitting your day (or primary) "job". This puts your new online business in the best position in which to succeed, with minimal stress. There is no pressure to produce from day one, as long as your household income stays the same. Of course you will push yourself to reach your goals, but if you don't make a profit for a while, your personal finances are not affected.

| Wealthy people are conniving, selfish, lazy monsters who will steal your last penny if you let them, or so that's what I was raised to believe. Fortunately, through my work and various associations, I've spent time with many of these 'monsters', and discovered that nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, over the years I've learned that wealthy people are the hardest working, most generous people one could ever meet.

| The information age has ushered in a change in value assignment. The transition from a hard (physical) asset based economy to a knowledge based economy is in full swing. Icons of yesterday’s wealth; buildings equipment, inventory and tradition are being replaced by Intellectual property, rapid innovation, and fluid self definition. Companies started in the last 10 years are worth more than companies that have been around as leaders in their industries for over 50 years. Companies like AOL, Google,, and EBay seem just as much a pert of the American fabric as GM, GE and Ford. Who would have ever believed that AT&T could disappear as a leading provider of phone service?

| 7 Steps to Improve your Customers Buying ExperienceOf course, the number one way you can improve your client's online purchasing experience is to accept credit cards on your site, because most of your clients will prefer to use their debit or credit card, rather than send checks through the mail. Credit and debit card purchases are immediate and secure; paper checks are the least secure method of making a purchase from an online seller. Accepting payments online will also make it far less likely that customers will forget about your site or its address, decide to buy from a competitor who accepts online payments, or put off making a buying decision.

| By consistently employing the right principles, a business owner or business decision maker can leverage the web to increase profits. There are basic principles affecting a web presence that are not industry or business specific, and by understanding and applying them, a business can greatly increase the amount of money saved or generated. Sometimes business owners or executives don't view the Internet in the most appropriate way, and therefore miss vast opportunities for success. The people who make the decisions for their sites sometimes act like the Wizard of Oz, pulling and pushing levers behind a curtain that provide an illusion, but not necessarily reality. They forget to apply, or choose to ignore, fundamental principles.

Google's 0.02% Spin Solution

Topic Work as Freelancer
| Last week, Google made a startling claim, one that begs explanation even after close examination. Faced with lingering questions about click fraud, Google released a blog post stating actual click fraud charges are ridiculously lower than those projected by third party analysts from the search marketing community. According to Google, actual click fraud only accounts for 0.02% of all click activity found when Google's team is asked to audit an advertiser's account. If correct, Google's 0.02% assertion places the perceived dollar value of actual click fraud in their system somewhere in the range of $2,100,000.

This is good news for internet marketers - but it also means that they need to lift their game. Why? Because the would-be "netpreneur" has access to way more training than ever before. It's possible to get up to speed very quickly on what is needed to get started online. This, in turn, means that people quickly recognize what offers true value and what does not. They see so many sales letters that they become, to a certain degree, immune to the typical hype. They're willing to spend - but they want value for money. They want to be treated like intelligent and discerning adults.

| The fact is, even if your web site is full of fabulous sales copy and photos that illustrate all the great features and benefits of your product or service, your potential customers still need to know: What do people who have actually purchased and used your product or service think about it? It's simple: your readers know that YOU believe in your product, or you wouldn't be selling it! But what do people with the same problem or need that they have say about your product? Answering that question is one of the most fundamental tasks your web site needs to accomplish - and it's as simple to do as it is important. By using testimonials - reviews and comments from your satisfied customers, in text, audio, or video format - on your web site, you not only answer the question, you also transform your sales pitch into a credible, unbiased recommendation for your product.
