If you missed out on the free TM-Town membership given to all ProZ.com paying members, there is still a chance to get both ProZ.com and TM-Town membership together, at an excellent discount. A strong, professional profile and membership on both sites can significantly increase your exposure to new potential clients and collaborators. Even if you are fully-booked at the moment, this exposure can help to ensure a steady flow of clients in the future.
