And most would rather be translating or interpreting, not drumming up new clients. If that describes you, you may want to read this article on passive marketing for freelancers. It's easy, inexpensive, works while you are working, and can make a difference if you suddenly find yourself not fully-booked: https://go.proz.com/blog/marketing-for-freelance-translators-and-interpreters-who-hate-marketing Advertisement ------------------------------------ My SDL Trados is a companion app that allows you to stay in touch with the latest SDL Trados news, education and free education resources; conveniently on your mobile phone.

I'm a bit of a completist, so as a proud owner of Mox I and II, I can now rest easy, at least until volume four makes its appearance.
