I also conduct most of my bussines through email, so I can relate. Thanks for the recommendations, they seem pretty useful and I will make sure to try them out!
Thanks SO much for this video, Adrian!! Super helpful for both newbies and more experienced translators! I also love what you said about building that human connection with agencies/ clients... A bit of friendly chit-chat goes a long way in building those relationships and making work life more pleasant for both the translator and the PM/ client :) Thank you!!
Glad you liked it! I really do think so, yes. I feel much more comfortable to ask for favours, also for recommendations or testimonials for example, of clients that I have a good human connection with.
Hello, I'm Luis from Brazil and I speak English and I am considering starting translating freelancing, but I don't know how to start. I found your channel yesterday and it seems really good and full of quality content!! I'm still 17 and I don't know how I could start on the industry, as I don't have any certificates or money to buy paid certifications. How should I start? Thank you for your channel it's sincerely really amazing!
Thanks for watching, being just 17 you are years ahead of most people :) well done. There are plenty of videos on starting on my channel. I'd suggest you watch the one on the permission paradox to give you an idea how to build a portfolio
Yes that is the case for many agencies, not all though. The ones I work with will rather overlay the extra charge to the end client than focus on profit maximizatiom

Hi Adrian I'm from Nairobi Kenya and I speak English and somali so my question is somali in demand
What about agencies? Ir I raise my rate they start working with those who offer lower rates
Yes that is the case for many agencies, not all though. The ones I work with will rather overlay the extra charge to the end client than focus on profit maximizatiom
