Now it\u2019s completed, I\u2019ll tell you a bit more about that in the first article.<\/p>\n<p>The second article in this edition is a review of the recent online virtual conference for translators that ProZ arranged. It was a lot of fun and very worthwhile.

I have ripped out outdated sections and written a lot of new material as well. I\u2019ve even given it a new title, which is a lot less controversial than the old one, and better reflects the content of the eBook.<\/p>\n<h3>Thank You Beta Readers<\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019d like to say a big thank you to those who gave me feedback and comments at the Beta stage. I name names on the acknowledgements page. But I won\u2019t do so here as I haven\u2019t asked permission to use names in this way.<\/p>\n<h3>Ridiculous Launch Offer<\/h3>\n<p>I am launching this ebook with a crazy special offer. The first 200 buyers will get a free copy of Selling Your Professional Services on the Web, which sells separately for almost twice the price of <a href=\"http:\/\/translatortips.net\/business-success.html\">Business Success For Freelance Translators<\/a>. (I told you it was crazy. <img src=\"http:\/\/www.translatortips.net\/ubb\/bounce.gif\" alt=\"excited\" \/>)<\/p>\n<p>Buyers will also qualify for an exclusive 25% discount on AIT Software products (Translation Office 3000, AnyCount and a whole host of others).<\/p>\n<h3>First Review Out Already<\/h3>\n<p>Sergey Rybkin was incredibly quick off the mark. I <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/translatortips\">tweeted<\/a> about <a href=\"http:\/\/translatortips.net\/business-success.html\">Business Success For Freelance Translators<\/a> on Friday afternoon (just after finishing the website). He\u2019d bought, read and reviewed it on his blog by Saturday. Now that\u2019s quick! One of the comments he made was&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThere are a few new ideas, but they are of great worth. For example, how NOT to set your rates, how to cope with isolation, how to get the life balance right, how to use the job portals and others.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>Free Update for 2009-10 buyers<\/h3>\n<p>If you bought \u201cHow to Earn\u201d in 2009 or 2010, you qualify to get this ebook free of charge (without the crazy launch bonus).<\/p>\n<p>I will be sending out an email to all these ebook buyers with details of how to get hold of the new ebook. (Hopefully towards the end of this week. I need to write a PERL script to make this possible.) If your email address has changed since you bought \u201cHow to Earn\u201d, please send me your new data.<\/p>\n<h3>Excited<\/h3>\n<p>This is our first new product launch since 2004. I\u2019m really excited about it, which is probably why I\u2019m giving away such a crazy launch offer to the first 200 buyers.<\/p>\n<p>Come and have a look at&#8230;<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/translatortips.net\/business-success.html\">http:\/\/translatortips.net\/business-success.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>In the other half of this tranfree edition I published the review of the <a href=\"http:\/\/alexeames.com\/blog\/2010\/review-of-proz-conference-translation3\/\">Proz.com translation3 virtual conference<\/a>.
