tranfree issue 24 - 15th January 2001 "Translation Job Sources & Working"
Welcome to issue 24 of tranfree - the newsletter for translators.
I hope you all had a good long break at Christmas. I certainly did and feel much better for it. In fact, during this "break" I wrote a new 46 page eBook about eZine advertising. Then I had almost 2 whole weeks off with a virus. But there you go. It was a probably a good thing - forced me to have a proper rest. I've just got a cable modem set up at home, so now (when it's working) I've got super-fast 500kBaud connection. It's still having a few teething troubles, but in a few weeks I'll review the service and let you know how effective it is. Michaela's written another great article for us, Phil's dug up some more dictionary sites - some of them quite obscure. Peter Stumpf of Star China has also sent us a useful tip... ...and we're running another poll to see which internet job sources you are getting the most work from. http://www.translatortips.net/job-survey.html So enjoy and benefit from tranfree
