Hey Hero!
May 13, 2025
Here's how I'm applying the DEEP Portfolio Formula this week with no extra marketing:
- Editing/proofreading: One of my clients specializes in localizing clinical trial documents. It's a large company with several project managers; I regularly work with nine of them. This week, I accepted two proofreading tasks from two different managers, and one editing task from a third. Proofreading is generally paid by the hour, while I charge editing by the word. I also charge a project minimum. One client, three projects. No extra marketing.
- Interpretation: Today was the first of a two-day assignment to teach basic and intermediate first aid to seasonal farm workers from Mexico. I had a similar assignment for another organization last year, and they referred me to a new farm to teach a new group. With new clients, I raise my rates. No extra marketing.
- Translation: I have several official document translations in the pipeline, so I've outsourced a few of them to another translator. One client sends me a few new documents each week for different family members. No extra marketing. I'm also helping one of my audiovisual clients this week with by translating dubbing dialogue for a streaming show and song lyrics for a streaming client. No extra marketing.
- Coaching: We had our first Welcome Meeting and Weekly Wins session with the Bilingual Heroes beta group! This was my favorite part of the week. I'm loving getting to know each member in our individual sessions and celebrating our wins together! This week, we talked about why we should use a professional email address and celebrated the members who got it done!
