Hi,
I am a native and experienced Vietnamese translator. I could translate all documents, websites and others from English to Vietnamese and vice versa. Please tell me how to advertise your service to get many clients?

Hi haitranvn,
first of all - welcome to TranslatorPub.com and the Community. I have forwarded your post to the "New Member Introduction" forum - where I believe those questions are more accurate to ask.
First of all, it is important that clients know about yourself and your services. You should prepare your profile and get ready to send out some emails to possible clients. If you want to contact agencies directly, you can visit their profiles via the agency menue and check already, how they would like to receive applications by linguists.
Another very good possibility is to post articles - and make aware of yourself on the main page. With a good article and high ratings are you on the main page and thousands of persons see your profile each day.
Second of all - apply to jobs posted on the job page. Dont get frustrated in the beginning, as it might take some time until you will receive your first jobs. Always state all information that are usefull (like CV, experience, references, your prices, turnaround, etc.).
I hope I was of help and good luck with your career. |

| Welcome to the Pub! If you're wanting to advertise yourself on the website, I would recommend having your profile as complete and up-to-date as possible, so that when people are searching they'll be more likely to come across your profile. There's also the 'Featured Freelancer/Agency' which is displayed on the start page, so if you have a picture uploaded to your profile that could also be some extra free advertising. Hope I could help! |

| My big problem is that I have no experience, and no one is willing to give me a chance. Boo on being inexperienced... |

Estonia sounds great - but far away from where I´m living. Northern Italy is just a tweak away haha.
So what leads you to Estonia? |

Yeah, you're in Germany, right? I studied in Germersheim, close to Karlsruhe, for a year. If I'd had the money, I was going to take a train back to visit because Breganze (where I am in Italy) is so close to Germany. Estonia to Germany, though, is still just a couple of hours of flying. That's just one of the many wonderful things about Europe. :)
I'm moving to Estonia because my boyfriend is from there, and he's been relocated to work there. |

| Cool - Estonia, I´d love to visit it once. Karlsruhe is just a sneak away from where I´m living, a great place to be. How did you like it there? |
