I used to be the ultimate ChatGPT hater, and I've now found a few really helpful use cases for it.

#10: Avoiding burnout as a freelancer 22:21

22 weeks پیش22:21

22:21

Freelancing gives us the freedom to work when we want, how we want—but let's be honest, it often feels more like 'work all the time or risk not getting paid.' That delicate balance between freedom and hustle can sometimes tip us straight into burnout. In this episode, I take a look at the realities of overwork, why burnout happens, and—most importantly—10 tried-and-true strategies I use to keep burnout at bay. In this episode, I mention my "Deciding what to charge" worksheet, which you can download here if you'd like to try it!

#9: 'Tis the season...for holiday availability nudges! 13:34

24 weeks پیش13:34

13:34

If you listened to episode six of the Training for Translators podcast, you already know that nudging dormant clients is a) the world' most boring marketing method, and b) the world's most effective marketing method (or close to it!). We all know the value of nudging, but we don't do it, because we tell ourselves (usually incorrectly!) that if a client wanted to work with us, they'd contact us without us having have to "chase after" them. In reality, I've heard from people who send work to freelance translators and interpreters that those who nudge receive 25%-50% more work than those who don't! Why now? The winter holidays are the perfect time to send every one of your clients (dormant or not) a holiday availability nudge, letting them know when you're available between approximately December 1 and January 10. Listen in for tips on what to say in these nudge e-mails! And if you're not yet on the Training for Translators mailing list, you can join right here !…

I launched my freelance business in 2002 by applying to over 400 translation companies in my first year of freelancing. Is it still worth applying to agencies?
