I would like to know if there is any way I can market myself so that more people know about my services and so I can get more clients and hence better rates. In particular, I would like to know if it would be a good idea to sign up for a site like Xing or Translia. I am on the books of LinkedIn but nothing has come up yet.

They are many steps to follow, after creating an account. I send you trough ProZ mail a link were you may download a pdf-book you may/should read before to do this.

Ask (and answer yourself...) to this question: If I do what everybody does, wich are my probabilities of success? | | |
