I lose most of my mornings answering emails with translation quotes…

And worst part of it is that most of them don’t end up buying.

Working as a translator can be a tedious job, when it could be as simple as ✨translating ✨. A lot of back and forth customers just to collect original documents, confirm language combinations, deadlines, reach a price agreement and other discussions that could be tackled with your own website.

Not only this is a lot of admin work, but it also distracts you from your tasks, which can have a negative impact on the quality of your translations, and therefore your business reputation.

How much easier would your job be, if handling translation orders was so fast, & easy, & almost fun, that you’d do it with pleasure?

Imagine:

• Your customers could get quotes directly without any input required from your end
• Your customers could complete their purchase on their own
• You could streamline any review requests
• You could recover automatically orders from those clients that didn’t complete their purchase
• You could streamline orders for language combinations you don’t offer directly to other partners

When I completed my university degree on translation studies, I knew for sure that I had to be online to increase the number of ‘eyes’ that could see my translation services. I explored different options to have a website that could automate most of my administrative tasks, so I could focus on translating.

Current state of the web allows you built a custom solution, but it involves a ton of work to glue the pieces together.

• First of all, if you want to look professional, you would need to get your own domain, that’s like 12€/year if not more.
• Add 5€/month to that if you plan to us some custom email service like Google Apps so you can email your customers from @yourdomain.com
• An empty domain does not bring customers, so you will need to get some hosting where you explain what services do you offer. Cheapest option could be a blog or landing page with Wordpress, which you can get starting at 5€/month.
• If you want to optimise your time, having a ‘calculator’ where your customers could get a quote it’s key. Solutions like Typeform allow you to upload files and handle quote calculations, starting at 21€/month.
• Then if you want to ‘glue’ all together (ie. automate sending emails after a translation is uploaded, send payment notifications, send invoices…) you might need something like Zapier, its cheapest plan starts at 18€/month

~50€/month just to keep ‘lights on’ on your shop so people can learn about your business and what you can do for them.
