As I promised, this is the content of the second part of my speech on Translators' Personal Branding, during the Open Day Event organised by Pem-Pat the November, 4th 2017

1. 1.) BUILD A PORTFOLIO
Your portfolio should be things you’ve
translated, your qualifications, a copy of
your CV, associations you’re a member
of, personal information, and whatever
else you think might be relevant for
potential customers.
2.) SET UP A WEBSITE
If you want people to find and hire your
services, a website can be an incredibly
important asset! A site where people can
browse who you are, what you charge for
your work, what kind of projects you’ve
worked on in the past etc.
3.) ATTEND INDUSTRY
EVENTS
Competition is tough, and you need to
stand out. Attending industry events and
other networking opportunities can help
you do just that.
4.) GET ON SOCIAL MEDIA
Social media is a great way to let
people know that your services are
available. Pick two or three networks
that you want to put some efforts into,
and then do so consistently.
