Kind words from ProZ.com members

One of the main benefits of being a paying member of ProZ.com is having full access to Blue Board information and site forums. What's more, most of my clients have found me via my ProZ.com profile.

Nie mogłabym już pracować bez pomocy koleżanek i kolegów z KudoZ. To bardzo fachowy portal.

When I started freelancing almost ten years ago, I used a variety of methods to reach out to potential clients. I placed an ad in the local yellow pages (no lead whatsoever), I sent out hundreds of emails to translation agencies (this landed me a couple of jobs), but by far the most efficient way of promotion was using the features that are available on ProZ.com.

I am really happy that I`ve joined the ProZ.com family, I have always been satisfied with this work group.
I hope after 30 yrs, I will say these things again!
Thank you all!

Sa pagiging isang bayad na miyembro sa loob ng 2 taon na ngayon, hindi lang naging triple ang aking mga kliyente ngunit nakakuha rin ng tiwala at kompiyansa mula sa kanila upang gamitin nang paulit-ulit ang aking mga serbisyo sa wika. Lubos akong nasisiyahan sa mga benepisyo kasama ang suporta na ibinigay ng ProZ.com sa akin sa buong mga taon at bumibilang pa. Maraming salamat!

ProZ.com es la plataforma por excelencia que permite al traductor encontrar más trabajo. En este espacio profesional uno encuentra además la respuesta a toda pregunta relacionada con la traducción. Cada actividad organizada por ProZ.com es impecable y 100% fiable. Realmente vale la pena pagar la cuota de membresía anual.

I must say that I continue to be breathless at how well ProZ.com anticipates / accommodates the needs of freelance translators. . . I was tearing my hair out and tossing small wads of money down the drain trying to find an invoicing program that did only what yours now does and nothing more.

Wielu z moich najlepszych klientów znalazło mnie właśnie poprzez ProZ.com

Paid membership at ProZ.com has been a good investment in the last 1-2 years. Several agencies have contacted me with offers, some of which I have taken up.

One of the greatest things of being a ProZ.com member is being able to see the Blue Board. It's very, very helpful to see what other translators have to say.

Being a member has enabled me to contact many new clients, most of which I now receive regular work from. Next to professional qualifications, ProZ.com membership is the best investment a translator can make.

I have obtained and *kept* 11 clients.

In quite many cases, the very first order won via ProZ.com more than covers the annual membership dues.

I am very pleased with ProZ.com, consider it a valuable resource and have met quite a few clients through it. So for me it is a worthy investment.

It's simple: ProZ.com exposure keeps helping me in finding new clients, while I keep myself busy translating for my existing clients.

Sites like ProZ.com work for you 24 hours, even when you sleep. ProZ.com landed me two regular end clients, and I got many other jobs, not to speak about digital exposure. I ask all my clients how they found me and why they selected me, and not someone else. The answer is always the same: my online activity, especially in terminology help, translation contests, etc… ProZ.com alone offers more than 50 features that can help you create yourself and your brand. The sooner you start, the sooner you will start earning experience and money.

ProZ.com is a new higher level society and new way of thinking for translators!

Bır de 10 yıllık üyelik ücreti olmasi gerekir. Onun daha avantajli bir fiyati vardi. Ben vakti zamaninda 10 yil için üye olmustum. Pek dogal olarak bunun fiyati senelik üyelige göre daha avantajli idi.

U vielmi mnohich vypadkach samaja pieršaja zamova, atrymanaja praz ProZ.com, bolš čym całkam pakryvaje hadavy ŭniosak.

ProZ.com has acted as my guide. With my ProZ.com membership, I'm a happy, fully-fledged freelancer and I can safely say that I wouldn't be where I am today without the knowledge that I have gained from the site or the friendly community support network. Thank you!

ProZ.com is not only our workplace, it's also a worldwide, developing community of people in translation business.

This is simply the best, most comprehensive support network and best moderated web site I could wish for as a translator.

This past year has been great. I woke up one morning deciding to go back to translating full time but I was not 100% sure that my decision was the right one. I left my "safe" English teaching job and recontacted my old clients. It didn't take long and I was soon back on track. Thanks to ProZ I have made contacts with new agencies around the world. I have met colleagues worldwide and found new friends... Words are my passion and this is the ideal job for me with growing children who love to see me around. My small office at home is not a lonely place at all and may I say I have never been happier. Thanks

Thanks to ProZ.com I got in touch with all my major clients years ago.

Being a ProZ.com member makes you more visible. Most of the jobs are awarded directly, bypassing the bidding system.

ProZ.com is echt de beste website/verzamelplaats voor vertalers en iedereen die werkt met taal. Ik ben onlangs ook begonnen het gratis Proz invoicing systeem te gebruiken, en het is fantastisch! Ga vooral zo door!

ProZ.com has opened for me a completely new market, complementary to my existing one. I've learnt to apply new tools for marketing, business (software and systems) and translation.

I am convinced that without ProZ.com, I would never have made the contacts I need to work as a full time professional translator. Not only have I received job offers, but I have also established valuable relationships with other translators which have evolved into a mutual support network of trusted colleagues.

After being a user "for free" for a couple of years, I decided to try by paying my membership for a year, and the result was awesome. I receive at least 2 messages from new clients monthly.

Da membro pagante invece è possibile rispondere a tutti gli annunci e poi soprattutto leggere i commenti dei colleghi nella Blue Board.

Ho deciso di diventare membro per poter usufruire di tutto ciò che offre questo portale, nella speranza di fare molte esperienze!

I've met several good translators here and get plenty of interesting work on a regular basis directly through my profile. That alone is worth the price of membership.

A few months ago I bid on a job because it called my name. The poster happily agreed to my rate and we've been working together ever since!

In 3 years as a Proz member I have got quite a lot of work through having a profile here. That's the keyword: p r o f i l e.

I am lucky that I am high in the directory for my language pair. I get more direct requests than I can keep up with and the rest of my jobs are referrals.

Grande opportunità per tutti i traduttori. La membership dà vantaggi non indifferenti. E' molto importante sul piano professionale ed il rapporto prezzo qualità è eccezionale!

After several years of free membership I decided to change its status to a paid member ... and I regret that I waited so long!

ProZ.com has certainly given me a boost and is stimulating my will to explore new worlds and opportunities. And to go ahead.

谢谢 ProZ.com 团队为大家提供的这个很好的平台，以及他们对这个平台的不断改进！

Since I signed up in 1999 the world for me as a freelancer has transformed. There is a 'before' and 'after ProZ.com'

I have thoroughly enjoyed my membership (Dec 2000) for all it offers:

. Job offers (only slowly appearing during my first years - Swedish is a niche language),
. Knowledge sharing (KudoZ, articles, forum postings),
. Views sharing (forums),
. Social contacts (forums, powwows, conferences)
. Fun (forums and meetings)
.Practical help (recommending lodging for my daughter in New York and our stay in London),
. Buying and selling opportunities of lexica, books and programs ('Exchange')
. Expert advice on computer problems and programs (forums)
. Exposure: You can be found. You are someone, your efforts can be appreciated by others
(particularly outsourcers ;-) ) (directory, Connect and KudoZ)
. You can feel 'nest warmth' like in a family or in a club
. You increase your outlook. You get to know how people from other countries and cultures think.
Using the ProZ.com message function and the eMail link or Skype, you can get instant contact
with colleagues across the globe for in-depth individual discussions on all subjects.

I have indeed grown as a professional and as an individual by embracing all the above ProZ.com advantages.

EUR 80/USD 120/year (less for renewals) is a bargain price for what you get!
