Many translators struggle with this transition, because they choose marketing methods that don’t suit their personalities or aren’t appealing to their target clients (or both!). In this masterclass, we’ll review at least 10 ways to find direct clients, including techniques that work well for introverts, extroverts, and continuing education junkies. We’ll also talk about how to create an online presence that is appealing to your potential clients, and how to incorporate followup and “touch points” into your marketing plan, while making some mindset shifts that are required for the direct client market. You’ll complete this masterclass with a doable plan for finding at least one new direct client in the next several months.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_separator color=”blue” border_width=”2″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”9/12″][vc_column_text]Corinne McKay is an ATA-certified French to English translator and Colorado court-certified French interpreter, based in Boulder, Colorado.
