Summary:Μια συνοπτική παρουσίαση των αρχικών βημάτων που θα πρέπει να γίνουν για την επιτυχή ένταξη στην αγορά εργασίας. Τι χρειάζομαι, που θα το βρω, τι θα μου κοστίσει. Πως θα αποκτήσω πελατεία ως νέα ελεύθερη/νέος ελεύθερος επαγγελματίας με τον μικρότερο δυνατό προϋπολογισμό. Ποιες είναι οι απαιτήσεις της αγοράς και πως μπορώ να αντεπεξέλθω με τα μικρότερα δυνατά έξοδα, τουλάχιστον στην αρχή.

- Μεταφραστικά εργαλεία (τι υπάρχει, πόσο κοστίζει, τι χρειάζομαι πραγματικά)
- Προβολή-διαφήμιση (πως, που και πόσο θα μου κοστίσει)
- Έναρξη επιτηδεύματος (φορολογικά, ΑΠΥ ή ΑΕΔ, ενδοκοινοτικές συναλλαγές?)
- Τιμοκατάλογος (τι πληρώνουν και τι με συμφέρει καλύτερα στην αρχή και τι αργότερα)
- Πιθανοί πελάτες (μεταφραστικά γραφεία, εταιρίες, απευθείας πελάτες)
- Διαφοροποίηση εντός αγοράς (τι κάνει εσάς να ξεχωρίσετε από τους άλλους)
- Διαχείριση εργασιών (Βοηθήματα για να κάνετε την εργασία και τη διαχείριση καθημερινών εργασιών ευκολότερη)
- Ενημέρωση (από που και γιατί)
