Hi Pedro, welcome to the group. First of all, fill up your profile properly. Put a picture and bring out the things that you are good at. People will come across your contributions but then look at your profile page. Then contribute, both in the forums as well as in Kudoz. Make your profile work for you and find a way of making it stand out. Surely, during the 3 years you have been translating, you learnt a few things which you can highlight so clients are attracted to look again and ask you to translate for them. My 2 cents to kick off the discussion. Wish you luck. ▲ Collapse
