Learn How to be a Successful Freelance Translator

Being a freelancer is different from being an in-house translator. You need to master additional skills to have a successful career as a freelance translator.

Build Linguistic Skills

This is an essential part, of course. Without having enough knowledge to translate accurately from one language to another, you cannot work as a translator. Start by building your linguistic skills to survive.

Master Marketing Skills

You need clients to earn a living and to have a successful career. So, you have to learn how to show up in front of your potential clients and make them know, like, and trust you.

Learn Business Skills

Without the essential business skills, your work will be inconsistent. You have to learn skills such as negotiation, organization, planning, communication and time management to work efficiently.

Hi, I’m Sherif Abuzid

I have been working in the translation industry for more than 15 years. During these years, I have worked as an in-house and freelance translator, a project manager, and a business development executive. My current position is the managing director of a small translation company called “TranslationPartner”.

The purpose of this website is to share my experience with freelance translators and help them grow their business. So, I write about marketing, business, project management, communication, and productivity skills. These are necessary skills for translators who want to work as freelancers.
