I have seven or eight frequent clients, but I wouldn't call them "regular", several more occasional ones and a few new ones pop up now and then.

The most difficult part of being a freelance translator
Apr 1, 2018
If I consider clients that send me jobs every 2-3 months, then I have 10-15 regular clients. If I consider those who always send me jobs every month, then I have 8 regular clients. First list makes me less worried
Actually, I believe the most difficult part of being a freelance translator is getting new clients. You have to prospect all the time, since 1 out of 10 reaches you back.

I don't know if they'll show up again or disappear forever, but every now ... See more
Checking my stats for this year so far, I could consider: - 7 clients that send me jobs regularly for more than two years and have sent me at least three (one per month) this year. - 6 clients that send me jobs sporadically, but have been around for many years - 3 new clients (started this year), which I'm not sure in what category they'll fit - 24 clients that show up every now and then with jobs. I don't know if they'll show up again or disappear forever, but every now and then I'm surprised by jobs from these people - About 32 past clients I still maintain as active in my database because they could show up at any time.
I considered only the first three groups to answer this poll. ▲ Collapse
