Many translators think that when they set up a website, they will get direct customers straight away.
Here is the truth:
Just because you have launched a Freelance Translator website doesn’t automatically mean you are going to get direct clients.
Creating an online presence and launching a Freelance translator website equals neither direct customers nor even traffic.
This is just a small step towards the success to your freelance translator online road.
What kind of road it is, how long or short it is, whether there are curves or not, depends on your freelance translator strategy.
How to get the traffic to a translator website?
