    #24: "Can't clients just do this themselves with AI??"

    Episode 24 of the Training for Translators podcast is based on this post on my blog. Lately, I've heard from a number of students and colleagues who have a hard time marketing right now, because they feel icky/dishonest/deceptive about marketing a service "that clients could get for free from an AI tool." Personally, I don't have this mental roadblock, and in this episode, I break it down!  If you're not on the Training for Translators mailing list, sign up!

    #23: What now? Six options if your freelance business is struggling

    This episode is based on a webinar I taught today, "What now??" aimed mainly at mid-career freelance translators whose businesses are really struggling. I offered six options you might want to consider (from "keep doing what you're doing" to "re-train and change careers completely"), depending on your personal circumstances.   Find out more about Training for Translators, including my upcoming March Marketing Madness challenge group, at https://www.trainingfortranslators.com/

    #22: 2025, the year in review

    It's time for my annual year in review post!  I've been writing year-end review posts for a while. Here's 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021. I'll say that this year feels different. I had a great year, due to various factors including luck, experience, working hard, and being willing to try new things. And at the same time, I'm aware that a lot of people in the language professions had a truly terrible year. My goal here isn't to rub it in, it's to give some examples of what's working for me, a few fails, and what I'm looking forward to this year.
