Webinar Title: Introduction to Social Media for Translators
Presenters: Eve Bodeux and Corinne McKay
Date and time: Thursday, February 10, 2011, 12 noon U.S. Eastern Time
Length: 1 hour

Description: You hear about Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and blogging all the time, but do you need to be active on them for success in your freelance translation business? What are the benefits of participation in these forums and what are the constraints? In this webinar we will discuss the business reasons why freelance translators should (or should not) consider getting involved in these social media forums, as well as a brief introduction to getting started on each platform.

This webinar is intended for individuals who have little or no experience in social media. By the end of the webinar, you will have a clear idea of the pros and cons of each of these social media services, how they can benefit your business and which of these social media services may be a good fit for your business strategy.

Eve and Corinne will take live questions at the end of the webinar and will answer additional questions on Corinne’s blog and the Speaking of Translation blog.

The cost of the webinar is US $40.
