 Hello everyone today. I have a new Headphones with a new mic. So hopefully this works. Well, I know in the last video there were issues with the audio and I'm really hoping this works. So Today I wanted to talk to you about what I'm going to be offering in terms of services and in terms of in terms of sessions and I'm realizing this probably doesn't make much sense So, okay, let me jump back a second. I think it was a couple weeks ago I made a video and I was talking about What I do and basically these videos are not what I do what I do is I'm a translator And I also have an agency that I'm setting up that I'm putting up and this is what I do professionally This is how I make my money. These videos are something I do that's extra and I do them because I like doing them ever since I first started doing them when I was frustrated that No one else was doing them pretty much, you know, and I was frustrated because I was starting off as a freelance translator I mean and and no one, you know, I couldn't find the information I needed and I realized there are a lot of other people in my same boat and it kind of annoyed me And so, you know, that's why I did, you know, I did the course wrote the book and all that stuff So anyway, and I keep doing this because I do like doing it And I really like the fact that I'm able to, you know, reach people and help them out And I see with the comments and all that then we able to do that and I really like that Unfortunately, it also takes up quite a bit of time. I get quite a few Comments and especially questions, you know about and questions to me are what are more important, you know Because that's where I can help out of it. I get questions here comments on these videos I get questions on my courses and Also just emails, you know that people get my email and they ask me questions and I try to get to them But it takes a lot of my time to do so and so I'm trying to find a way to help people out But first of all that You know that I don't have to field all these different questions from all these different places But they're a bit more centralized and second of all, you know, that is worth my time, you know Because otherwise I I literally spent so much time So what I've been doing is stuff like if I have a couple people ask me the same question I'll make a video about it. So then from then on I can refer people to that video But you know, I still have to search for the video each time and it's kind of a pain So when I reply to people I basically have an order and I you know, and I'll reply so first of all I reply to people who are taking my course because there I know it's people who've already invested who have skin in the game You know, and I know that they are serious about it and I'm you know, I have to say you guys aren't serious, but I mean, but some of you are not serious and I know this because I've you know, because I've seen it from past experience I've seen, you know people will ask me a question and I'll go through quite a bit of research or something like that and try to get a good response and And and then, you know, I'll see like a month later because of another comment they make like that they haven't followed through or perhaps even read my response and and you know, they're kind of just taking it very lightly and being very passive about it and so and I think that's the main difference if you're being passive about it or if you're being active about it and You know and signing up and paying for my course is a good way of showing that you're being active about it So and that's why that takes priority. Anyway, so what I'm trying to do here is offer services and a bit more customized and personalized According to your needs because the other issue that comes up is that everything I do from the course to the book to these videos It's kind of a one-size-fits-all kind of thing and I really try to make it I try to make it apply to everyone But everyone is in a different situation You're going to have your student who's just graduated and who wants to try to get into freelance translation But isn't exactly sure how you might have another person who's been doing Translation for friends and maybe some pro bono work, but isn't sure how to make the transfer to real clients and you have maybe someone else who Has been working as a paralegal for a long time and has a lot of contacts in the legal world and and you know has a history there, but wants to Become a translator now and isn't sure how to do it a translator of legal stuff And they're not sure how to do it all these require very different approaches And all of you depending on your personal situation will require customized personalized approaches And so you might need help with that and so I want to be able to offer that Unfortunately, I can't make a video for every single person's, you know unique circumstances And so instead this is what I want to offer So in the description below here, you should find three different questionnaires And these are kind of the three things that I'm going to offer the first one is for people who Want me to look over a resume if you want me to look over your resume or your profile page or your list of services or your Website or you know anything basically that you said to me I look over in my own time and then I send it back to you with my recommendations corrections, etc That would follow under the first questionnaire And because I do get this request quite a bit people want me to look over their profile page or the resume and stuff along those lines And so I want to offer this service So you fill out the questionnaire with all your information and send it to me and then we take it from there Basically for all of these questionnaires you fill out your information So I get a better understanding of what you need and based on that I'll come back to you with a quote a price quote and a timeline and we take it from there So we have uh, yeah the first one is uh for anything written the second one is if you have Uh, if you have an issue a problem a situation that you need being dealt with right now So you have some you know your unique situation whatever you have and you want to deal with it You're not sure if you should go in this direction or that direction or if you're not sure if this is the right approach Or what or what the right approach should be if you need one, etc And that will be the second questionnaire here. You get basically a one-on-one coaching session with me Uh, you know a one-time thing where we talk about your situation kind of go through it and try to figure out some good approaches And take it from there And then the third questionnaire is where we have, you know, that's more regular coaching coaching sessions So this will be something where you want to meet regularly every two weeks every month Whatever it is kind of do like, you know, see how you've progressed since the last meeting and what you should do from here on out And there is more You know, I become a regular coach for you. I guess, you know something along those lines And uh, and so that will be the third questionnaire. So I have these three questionnaires And uh, that you can fill out by the way, I should mention in case you're wondering These videos that I'm making they're gonna continue. So these videos on youtube if that's What you're happy with and that's all you want. That's all you need. Then that's no problem. Don't worry These videos will keep coming they'll keep coming regularly as long as I can and and I've been able to you know With some regularity, uh You know in the past few months or so at least and I don't foresee any issue with that there might be I'm not I can't promise anything. I don't want to promise anything because it always depends on my workload But these videos should keep coming regularly And uh, so that's fine. If that's what is fine for you. That's what works for you Then don't worry. Keep doing what you're doing You're gonna get keep getting these videos if you do want something a bit more in depth If you want a bit more information or if you want something a bit more personalized customized something like that uh, then you can fill out those questionnaires and um What else was I going to mention? Oh and so and one last thing is another Suggesting that I got I think I got in one of the comments on my youtube video was uh to have a q&a session So I will offer that at some point I'm not sure when I need to figure out because I know I've seen certain youtube people that you can schedule a Certain live event in the future or something so I figure out a time that works for me and then I can uh, yeah and hopefully it works for some of you as well And we'll do whatever it is a half hour or however long and I'll just reply to your questions I'm not going to prepare anything ahead of time So I'm just going to answer off the top of my head Whatever questions you might have and I'll try to deal with it as best I can But I think that could be interesting as well. So stay tuned. I'll try to Let you know when that happens. I haven't figured out a time yet But at some point that uh, I'll do one of those otherwise if you do need more personalized customized You know a bit more professional help then you have the three questionnaires here below that you can fill out And for each one of them once again, just fill them out with your information And I'll get back to you with a price quote on the timeline and otherwise just keep watching these videos and That's pretty much it. Uh, I think that's all I have to announce for now and uh, hopefully this makes sense and You know and again, I'm gonna I'm gonna be doing this and uh Maybe later I can anyway We'll see how it works. But for now, this is how I'm going ahead and we'll take it from there So hopefully you find this useful.
