Glad to hear it, although to me it does sound like you are advertising a paid-for service.


I can see that. I guess I'm spending too much time in these marketing groups, I'm starting to sound like them.

I'm just about finished putting everything together. I was planning to upload a YouTube video and blog post on the subject, but I'll post a summary here as well. It explains how to create a business page if you don't already have one and how to verify that page. I also have some tips on optimizing it. It's all stuff that anyone can do for free.

Co-working offices Dec 26, 2015

I don't work locally. What if I want to target a foreign market?


It's designed for local businesses, but you can cheat a little. What you need is an address in the area that you are targeting - virtual offices and things like that work just fine. I live in a small town, but I'm thinking about signing up for a coworking space in the capital near here so I can place myself in the middle of everything. I have another that's beenset up with a PO Box. I just used the post office address and marked my PO Box number as my suite number. It's a bit of an investment, but it generates more money than it costs.

Co-working offices may also be worth a look. The co-working office I use offers a mailbox only option for 20 dollars a month.

I agree.

Now is the time for CAT booming, because these tools are sufficiently not so complex (read: easy) for prolific computer programmers, according to my friends with IT background.

Try to provide the service no charge at all. I am sure most of translators under the sky will crowd around you.
