It really is good for translators to blog
Back in November of 2007, I wrote that it's good for translators to blog, mainly because it makes you a better writer.
Corinne McKay agrees that it's good for translators to blog, but for a different reason: marketing.
I have to agree. Since I started blogging, I've had three prospective customers tell me that they had seen my blog and/or website, and — even more shocking — that it made a favorable impression. The times they are a changin', indeed!
Corinne also encourages translators to attend conferences (such as IJET) and visit clients in person; also great advice.
