Content Overview
This course is structured to serve as reference material, so you can go through the whole course in around one week, but, as your agency progresses, you will probably want to go back for refreshers, so to see how various steps can apply to your new situation.
Most of this course will be taught via videos, with some written notes and explanations for those wishing to go further in depth.
By the end of this course, you will be able to use your knowledge to set up and run your own agency. You will understand what exactly you wish to achieve, how to find translators, how to find clients, and how to maintain the business running with both.
The world is becoming increasingly global, while jobs are less and less secure, and the Internet is, by now, near universal. Combine all these factors, and you have a perfect storm of opportunity for people who wish to set up their own translation agency!
Don't be limited by the number of hours you can work on a translation, or how much you can get paid per hour/per word! Set up a Translation Agency so You can have other Translators work for You!

Robert has been a translator since childhood. These days, his clients include banks, corporations, non-profits, consulates, as well as private individuals.
He started translating for extra money while in high school, and continued to do so throughout college and grad school (although never studying translation per se). It then took him two jobs to realize that, since translation was always the go-to for pocket money, it probably made sense to make a career out of it.
He now earns a living from Freelance Translation, and has recently set up a boutique Translation Agency called Lugano Translations, run entirely with Freelancers.
Thanks to Freelance Translation, Robert and his wife have been able to work remotely from all over the world, from Shanghai to Tuscany to Washington D.C. They currently live in Charlotte, North Carolina, with their one-year-old daughter.
His expertise is in Freelancing, from both the perspective of the "hirer" as well as the "hiree". Robert also has a passion for languages, both for work and just for pleasure.
