Six Steps to Take When Creating a Startup Translation Firm


Six Steps to Take When Creating a Startup Translation Firm

Being a great translator is no guarantee of being a great business person. Even if you possess in-depth knowledge of languages, that sort of excellence does not necessarily translate well into starting your own translation firm.

Let’s take a look at some of the issues to consider when establishing your own startup translation firm.

1. Decide your language pairs; e.g., English-Spanish, Italian-English, etcetera.
2. Know your Limitations
3. Financial Planning
4. When starting, at the very first stages, try to offer your services through online marketplaces for freelance services. Signing up is free.
5. Place ads on Facebook, Google Ads, maybe Twitter…
6. If possible, offer rock-bottom prices

1. Decide your language pairs; e.g., English-Spanish, Italian-English, etcetera.

In most cases, you will want to focus your translation firm on just one or two language pairs. Trying to be an expert in many languages doesn’t usually work in the translation world.

2. Know your Limitations
You may have the experience to be a great translator, but do you really have the knowledge or expertise to be a great business person?

3. Financial Planning
As with most things in life, money is going to be a major factor in how you setup your translation firm. When creating a financial plan it is important that you be thorough while not overwhelming yourself. Focus on the major expenses, but don’t get bogged down in the details. The first thing you will need to do is calculate your monthly and annual expenses. Your biggest expenses will likely be for rent, utilities, insurance, membership and licensing fees, marketing, wages, and office supplies. Furthermore, there may be upfront expenses when you are just starting out, such as for office furniture, computers, appliances, and maybe copy machines. By adding up all of these expenses you will have a better idea of what you will need to make in order to run a profit. Your expenses will allow you to determine a per-word or an hourly rate and, using that hourly rate, to determine how many billable hours you need to work in a month. Of course, if you are just starting out and do not have a large client base then you need to factor this into your budget. Also, do not aim to simply break even with your expenses. If it looks like you will only just be making enough money to cover your expenses then you need to consider either increasing your hourly rate or cutting your expenses, such as by working from home, opting for a cheaper office, and so on.

Some translators charge from USD 0.01 to 0.12 per word.

Those translators who offer their translation services for U.S. $0.01 per word usually charge an hourly rate of U.S. $2.50, taking into account they will be translating some 250 words per hour.

If some platform or online marketplace for freelance services doesn’t let them charge fractions, they will be asking for three dollars an hour.

Those translators who offer their translation services for U.S. $0.12 per word, usually charge an equivalent of U.S. $30.00 per hour, taking into account they will be translating some 250 words per hour.

Along with your budget, you will also need a business plan that covers different aspects of what you want your business to accomplish. A business plan is typically composed of a number of different documents. These documents may include, but are not limited to, an executive summary, an operating plan, a marketing strategy and analysis, financial projections, and a description of your firm and the services it offers. Again, keep your business plan as simple as possible (especially as regards the executive summary and services) in order to keep you focused on what your firm will be providing. Making a business plan that is too complicated will only cause you to get overwhelmed and lose sight of what it is you are trying to accomplish with your firm.

4. When starting, at the very first stages, try to offer your services through online marketplaces for freelance services. Signing up is free. There are a number of such concerns / websites; for example: Freelancer, Fiverr, People Per Hour, Upwork, Workana, etcetera. 

5. Consider placing cheap ads on Facebook, Google Ads, maybe Twitter…
Or… better yet, you can place ads FOR FREE in: thefreeadforum [dot] com AND/OR freeglobalclassifiedads [dot] com AND/OR craigslist [dot] org

6. If/when possible, offer rock-bottom prices, so you may run ahead of competition in terms of accepting gigs, but perhaps you might not want to sell your time/work at such low prices.
Well… IT IS UP TO YOU to set your rates.

A Sample of an English–Spanish Translation


A Sample of an English–Spanish Translation






Investigating Linked Lists Using Distributed Archetypes


Abstract

Unified heterogeneous modalities have led to many structured advances, including information retrieval systems and interrupts. After years of theoretical research into the transistor, we prove the study of extreme programming, which embodies the natural principles of cryptography. The focus in our research is not on whether neural networks and rasterization can interact to fulfill this intent, but rather on constructing an analysis of robots (Foliage).


1. Introduction

Recent advances in stochastic archetypes and semantic communication have paved the way for Web services. We withhold these results for anonymity. A natural quandary in networking is the understanding of SCSI* disks. This is a direct result of the deployment of congestion control. To what extent can erasure coding be analyzed to realize this purpose?

*Small Computer System Interface.

It should be noted that Foliage develops the evaluation of expert systems. For example, many methodologies analyze hash tables [1]. Even though conventional wisdom states that this quandary is continuously solved by the synthesis of object-oriented languages, we believe that a different approach is necessary. Of course, this is not always the case. In the opinion of mathematicians, existing peer-to-peer and omniscient methods use constant-time modalities to create the emulation of the lookaside buffer. Combined with the construction of wide-area networks, this synthesizes a distributed tool for investigating access points.

We use modular archetypes to confirm that Domain Name System (DNS) and neural networks are always incompatible. Certainly, though conventional wisdom states that this grand challenge is continuously surmounted by the simulation of scatter/gather I/O, we believe that a different method is necessary. Despite the fact that conventional wisdom states that this problem is generally overcome by the development of B-trees, we believe that a different approach is necessary. This combination of properties has not yet been constructed in prior work.

Steganographers rarely analyze cache coherence in the place of the deployment of randomized algorithms. Predictably, it should be noted that Foliage visualizes cache coherence. Contrarily, autonomous modalities might not be the panacea that computational biologists expected. To put this in perspective, consider the fact that little-known scholars entirely use sensor networks to accomplish this objective. Indeed, multicast methodologies and the location-identity split have a long history of connecting in this manner. Therefore, we verify not only that interrupts and write-ahead logging are regularly incompatible, but that the same is true for Byzantine fault tolerance. Such a hypothesis at first glance seems perverse but is derived from known results.

The rest of this paper is organized as follows. We motivate the need for operating systems. Second, to realize this purpose, we introduce an analysis of symmetric encryption (Foliage), validating that extreme programming can be made constant-time, trainable, and client-server. In the end, we conclude.


2. Model

In this section, we explore a framework for evaluating hash tables. We consider a system consisting of n randomized algorithms. This seems to hold in most cases. Along these same lines, our application does not require such a private prevention to run correctly, but it doesn't hurt. This seems to hold in most cases. Therefore, the architecture that our framework uses is not feasible.

Reality aside, we would like to measure a methodology for how Foliage might behave in theory. Despite the results by Gupta, we can verify that reinforcement learning and superpages [2] are rarely incompatible [3]. Any important deployment of linked lists will clearly require that operating systems and reinforcement learning are never incompatible; our application is no different. The question is, will Foliage satisfy all of these assumptions? Yes, it will.


3. Implementation

Though many skeptics said it couldn't be done (most notably Stephen Cook), we explore a fully-working version of Foliage. Furthermore, Foliage is composed of a centralized logging facility, a hacked operating system, and a virtual machine monitor. Though it at first glance seems unexpected, it fell in line with our expectations. We have not yet implemented the client-side library, as this is the least appropriate component of our algorithm. It was necessary to cap the power used by our solution to 449 percentile.


4. Evaluation

Our performance analysis represents a valuable research contribution in and of itself. Our overall evaluation methodology seeks to prove three hypotheses: (1) that replication no longer influences performance; (2) that we can do little to toggle a system's collaborative API;* and finally (3) that the location-identity split no longer toggles system design. We hope to make clear that our reducing the flash-memory speed of replicated information is the key to our performance analysis.

*Application program interface


4.1. Hardware and Software Configuration

Though many elide important experimental details, we provide them here in great detail. We scripted a simulation on the National Security Agency (NSA)’s mobile telephones to prove game-theoretic configurations’s inability to effect the work of British algorithmist A. Bhabha. To find the required hard disks, we combed eBay and tag sales. To begin with, we added 100kB/s of Wi-Fi throughput to our mobile telephones to consider methodologies. Second, we removed 150 GB/s of Wi-Fi throughput from our decommissioned IBM PC Juniors to investigate UC Berkeley's XBox network. Along these same lines, we added a 3GB hard disk to UC Berkeley's network to prove the computationally “smart” behavior of fuzzy theory. To find the required RISC processors, we combed eBay and tag sales. On a similar note, we doubled the effective USB key speed of our network. In the end, Canadian mathematicians added 100MB of NV-RAM to Intel’s mobile telephones.

We ran Foliage on commodity operating systems, such as FreeBSD Version 4.6.1, Service Pack 3 and EthOS Version 1.3. All software was linked using a standard toolchain built on the British toolkit for mutually improving average complexity. We added support for our method as a wired kernel patch. Furthermore, all of these techniques are of interesting historical significance; Lakshminarayanan Subramanian and Charles Bachman investigated a related heuristic in 1967.


4.2. Experiments and Results

Is it possible to justify the great pains we took in our implementation? Yes, but only in theory. That being said, we ran four novel experiments: (1) we deployed 33 Apple across the Internet-2 network, and tested our red-black trees accordingly; (2) we deployed 51 Nintendo Gameboys across the planetary-scale network, and tested our journaling file systems accordingly; (3) we ran vacuum tubes on 45 nodes spread throughout the Internet network, and compared them against red-black trees running locally; and (4) we ran multi-processors on 93 nodes spread throughout the sensor-net network, and compared them against wide-area networks running locally. All of these experiments completed without unusual heat dissipation or resource starvation.

We first analyze experiments (1) and (3) enumerated above. The results come from only 9 trial runs, and were not reproducible.

Lastly, we discuss the second half of our experiments. These response time observations contrast to those seen in earlier work [12], such as William Kahan's seminal treatise on fiber-optic cables and observed average latency. Second, error bars have been elided, since most of our data points fell outside of 33 standard deviations from observed means. Gaussian electromagnetic disturbances in our millennium overlay network caused unstable experimental results.


5. Related Work

Although we are the first to present virtual machines in this light, much related work has been devoted to the analysis of Byzantine fault tolerance that would allow for further study into cache coherence. Furthermore, a litany of previous work supports our use of “smart” theory. This method is less cheap than ours. Unlike many existing solutions, we do not attempt to create or allow the development of link-level acknowledgements. Recent work by J. Anderson suggests an algorithm for constructing ubiquitous algorithms, but does not offer an implementation. Despite the fact that we have nothing against the existing solution by L. Robinson, we do not believe that his solution is applicable to programming languages. This approach is even more flimsy than ours.


5.1. Erasure Coding

Foliage builds on existing work in probabilistic models and algorithms. Furthermore, a recent unpublished undergraduate dissertation explored a similar idea for agents. Recent work by Y. Ashwin et al. suggests an algorithm for evaluating digital-to-analog converters, but does not offer an implementation. We believe there is room for both schools of thought within the field of cryptoanalysis. Even though we have nothing against the related approach by James Gray, we do not believe that approach is applicable to cryptoanalysis.


5.2. E-Business

Several atomic and robust frameworks have been proposed in the literature. John Backus introduced several embedded methods, and reported that they have improbable influence on DNS. This is arguably fair. Further, we had our method in mind before D. Shastri published the recent seminal work on signed theory. Thus, the class of applications enabled by our heuristic is fundamentally different from previous solutions.


6. Conclusion

Here we constructed Foliage, an authenticated tool for controlling multi-processors. Next, we disproved that complexity in Foliage is not a problem. Next, the characteristics of our solution, in relation to those of more famous approaches, are clearly more confirmed. Next, Foliage has set a precedent for Moore's Law, and we expect that information theorists will explore our application for years to come. To achieve this intent for extensible epistemologies, we proposed an algorithm for rasterization.

In conclusion, our experiences with our algorithm and telephony confirm that Internet Quality of Service (QoS) and the memory bus can collaborate to accomplish this objective. Foliage has set a precedent for pervasive epistemologies, and we expect that researchers will construct Foliage for years to come. Foliage has set a precedent for digital-to-analog converters, and we expect that futurists will measure Foliage for years to come [20]. We expect to see many physicists move to constructing our system in the very near future.

Investigación de Listas Enlazadas Mediante Arquetipos Distribuidos


Resumen

Las modalidades heterogéneas unificadas han dado lugar a muchos avances estructurados, incluidos los sistemas de recuperación de información e interrupciones. Después de años de investigación teórica sobre el transistor, probamos el estudio de la programación extrema, que encarna los principios naturales de la criptografía. El enfoque de nuestra investigación no trata acerca de si las redes neuronales y la rasterización pueden interactuar para cumplir con esta intención, sino más bien en la construcción de un análisis de robots (Foliage).


1. Introducción

Los recientes avances en arquetipos estocásticos y la comunicación semántica han allanado el camino para los servicios web. Retenemos estos resultados por anonimato. Un dilema natural en la creación de redes es la comprensión de los discos SCSI*. Este es un resultado directo del despliegue del control de congestión. ¿Hasta qué punto se puede analizar la codificación de borrado para realizar este propósito?

*Small Computer System Interface.
*Interfaz de Sistema para Computadoras Pequeñas.

Cabe señalar que Foliage desarrolla evaluaciones de sistemas expertos. Por ejemplo, muchas metodologías analizan tablas de agregación [1]. Aunque la sabiduría convencional afirma que este dilema se resuelve continuamente mediante la síntesis de lenguajes orientados a objetos, creemos que es necesario un enfoque diferente. Por supuesto, esto no es así siempre. En la opinión de matemáticos, los métodos existentes de igual a igual y omniscientes utilizan modalidades de tiempo constante para crear la emulación de un búfer de búsqueda en caché. Combinado con la construcción de redes de área amplia, esto sintetiza una herramienta distribuida para investigar puntos de acceso.

Utilizamos arquetipos modulares para confirmar que el sistema de nombres de dominio (SND/DNS) y las redes neurales sean siempre incompatibles. Ciertamente, aunque la sabiduría convencional afirma que este gran desafío es superado continuamente por la simulación de dispersión/recopilación I/O, creemos que resulta necesario un método diferente. A pesar de que la sabiduría convencional afirma que este problema generalmente es superado por el desarrollo de árboles B, consideramos que es necesario un enfoque diferente. Esta combinación de propiedades aún no se ha construido en trabajos anteriores.

Los esteganógrafos rara vez analizan la coherencia de la memoria caché en lugar del despliegue de algoritmos aleatorios. Como era de esperar, se debe tener en cuenta que Foliage visualiza la coherencia de la caché. Por el contrario, las modalidades autónomas podrían no ser la panacea que esperaban los biólogos computacionales. Para poner esto en perspectiva, considere el hecho de que académicos poco conocidos utilizan en su totalidad redes de sensores para lograr este objetivo. De hecho, las metodologías de multidifusión y la división de identidad de ubicación tienen una larga historia de conexión de esta manera. Por lo tanto, verificamos no solamente que las interrupciones y el registro de escritura anticipada sean regularmente incompatibles, sino que lo mismo ocurre con la tolerancia a fallas bizantinas. Tal hipótesis a primera vista parece perversa pero se deriva de resultados conocidos.

El resto de este artículo está organizado de la siguiente manera. Motivamos la necesidad de sistemas operativos. En segundo lugar, para realizar este propósito, introducimos un análisis de cifrado simétrico (Foliage), al validar que la programación extrema se puede hacer en tiempo constante, entrenable y cliente-servidor. Al final, concluimos.


2. Modelo

En esta sección, exploramos un marco para evaluar tablas de agregación. Consideramos un sistema que consiste en n algoritmos aleatorios. Esto parece mantenerse en la mayoría de los casos. En esta misma línea, nuestra aplicación no requiere tal prevención privada para ejecutarse correctamente, pero no duele. Esto parece mantenerse en la mayoría de los casos. Por lo tanto, la arquitectura que utiliza nuestro marco no es factible.

Al dejar de lado la realidad, nos gustaría medir una metodología de cómo podría comportarse Foliage en teoría. A pesar de los resultados de Gupta, podemos verificar que el aprendizaje de refuerzo y las superpáginas [2] rara vez son incompatibles [3]. Cualquier despliegue importante de listas vinculadas requerirá claramente que los sistemas operativos y el aprendizaje por refuerzo nunca sean incompatibles; Nuestra aplicación no es diferente. La pregunta es, ¿Foliage satisfará todas estas suposiciones? Sí, lo hará.


3. Implementación

Aunque muchos escépticos dijeron que no se podía hacer (sobre todo Stephen Cook), exploramos una versión completamente funcional de Foliage. Además, Foliage se compone de una instalación de registro centralizado, un sistema operativo intervenido y un monitor de máquina virtual. Aunque a primera vista parece inesperado, el experimento se mantuvo en línea con nuestras expectativas. Todavía no hemos implementado la biblioteca del lado del cliente, ya que este es el componente menos apropiado de nuestro algoritmo. Era necesario limitar la potencia utilizada por nuestra solución al percentil 449.


4. Evaluación

Nuestro análisis de rendimiento representa una valiosa contribución de investigación en sí misma. Nuestra metodología de evaluación general busca probar tres hipótesis: (1) que la replicación ya no influye en el rendimiento; (2) que podemos hacer poco para cambiar la API* colaborativa de un sistema; y finalmente (3) que la división de identidad de ubicación ya no cambia el diseño del sistema. Esperamos aclarar que nuestra reducción de la velocidad de memoria flash de la información replicada es la clave de nuestro análisis de rendimiento.

*Application program interface.
*Interfaz del programa de aplicación.


4.1. Configuración de hardware y software

Aunque muchos eluden importantes detalles experimentales, nosotros los proporcionamos aquí en gran detalle. Escribimos una simulación en los teléfonos móviles de la Agencia Nacional de Seguridad (National Security Agency, NSA) para demostrar la incapacidad de las configuraciones de la teoría de juegos para efectuar el trabajo del experto británico en algoritmos A. Bhabha. Para encontrar los discos duros necesarios, examinamos eBay y etiquetamos las ventas. Para empezar, agregamos 100 kB/s de rendimiento de Wi-Fi a nuestros teléfonos móviles para considerar las metodologías. En segundo lugar, eliminamos 150 GB/s de rendimiento de Wi-Fi de nuestras IBM PC Juniors retiradas del servicio para investigar la red XBox de UC Berkeley. En esta misma línea, agregamos un disco duro de 3 GB a la red de UC Berkeley para probar el comportamiento computacionalmente “inteligente” de la teoría difusa. Para encontrar los procesadores RISC requeridos, peinamos eBay y etiquetamos las ventas. En una nota similar, duplicamos la velocidad efectiva de la llave USB de nuestra red. Al final, matemáticos canadienses agregaron 100 MB de NV-RAM a los teléfonos móviles de Intel.

Ejecutamos Foliage en sistemas operativos de productos básicos, como FreeBSD versión 4.6.1, Service Pack 3 y EthOS versión 1.3. Todo el software se vinculó mediante una cadena de herramientas estándar incorporada en el kit de herramientas británico para mejorar la complejidad promedio mutuamente. Agregamos soporte para nuestro método como un parche de kernel alterado. Además, todas estas técnicas tienen un significado histórico interesante; Lakshminarayanan Subramanian y Charles Bachman investigaron una heurística relacionada en 1967.


4.2. Experimentos y Resultados

¿Es posible justificar las grandes penalidades por las que atravesamos en nuestra implementación? Sí, pero sólo en teoría. Dicho esto, realizamos cuatro experimentos novedosos: (1) implementamos 33 Apple a través de la red Internet-2, y probamos nuestros árboles rojo-negro en consecuencia; (2) implementamos 51 Nintendo Gameboys a través de la red a escala planetaria, y probamos nuestros sistemas de archivos de registro diario en consecuencia; (3) probamos tubos de vacío en 45 nodos distribuidos por la red de Internet, y los comparamos con árboles rojo-negros que se ejecutan localmente; y (4) ejecutamos multiprocesadores en 93 nodos distribuidos por la red de sensores para redes, y los comparamos con redes de área amplia que se ejecutan localmente. Todos estos experimentos se completaron sin una inusual disipación de calor o falta de recursos.

Primero analizamos los experimentos (1) y (3) enumerados anteriormente. Los resultados provienen de solo 9 ejecuciones de prueba y no fueron reproducibles.

Por último, discutimos la segunda mitad de nuestros experimentos. Estas observaciones de tiempo de respuesta contrastan con las observadas en trabajos anteriores, como el tratado seminal de William Kahan sobre cables de fibra óptica y la latencia promedio observada. Segundo, las barras de error han sido eliminadas, ya que la mayoría de nuestros puntos de datos se encuentran fuera de las 33 desviaciones estándar de los medios observados. Las perturbaciones electromagnéticas gaussianas en nuestra red de superposición de milenios causaron resultados experimentales inestables.


5. Trabajos Relacionados

Si bien somos los primeros en presentar máquinas virtuales desde este punto de vista, se ha dedicado mucho trabajo al análisis de la tolerancia a fallas bizantinas que permitiría un mayor estudio de la coherencia de la memoria caché. Además, una letanía de trabajos anteriores apoya nuestro uso de la teoría “inteligente”. Este método es menos barato que el nuestro. A diferencia de muchas soluciones existentes, no intentamos crear o permitir el desarrollo de acuses de recibo a nivel de enlace. Un trabajo reciente de J. Anderson sugiere un algoritmo para construir algoritmos ubicuos, pero no ofrece una implementación. A pesar de que no tenemos nada en contra de la solución existente de L. Robinson, no creemos que esa solución sea aplicable a los lenguajes de programación. Este enfoque es incluso más débil que el nuestro.


5.1. Codificación de borrado

Foliage se basa en el trabajo existente en modelos y algoritmos probabilísticos. Además, una reciente tesis de pregrado no publicada exploró una idea similar para los agentes. Trabajos recientes de Y. Ashwin et alii sugieren un algoritmo para evaluar convertidores de digital a analógico, pero no ofrece una implementación. Creemos que hay espacio para ambas escuelas de pensamiento en el campo del criptoanálisis. Aunque no tenemos nada en contra del enfoque relacionado de James Gray, no creemos que ese enfoque sea aplicable al criptoanálisis.


5.2. Negocio electrónico (E-Business)

Varios marcos atómicos y robustos han sido propuestos en la literatura. John Backus introdujo diversos métodos integrados e informó que tienen una influencia improbable en el sistema de nombres de dominio (SND/DNS). Esto es posiblemente justo. Además, teníamos nuestro método en mente antes de que D. Shastri publicara el reciente trabajo seminal sobre la teoría de señas. Por lo tanto, la clase de aplicaciones habilitadas por nuestra heurística es fundamentalmente diferente de las soluciones anteriores.


6. Conclusión

Aquí construimos Foliage, una herramienta autenticada para controlar multiprocesadores. A continuación, refutamos que la complejidad en Foliage no es un problema. A continuación, las características de nuestra solución, en relación con las de los enfoques más famosos, son claramente más confirmadas. A continuación, Foliage ha establecido un precedente para la Ley de Moore, y esperamos que los teóricos de la información exploren nuestra aplicación en los próximos años. Para lograr este propósito para las epistemologías extensibles, propusimos un algoritmo para la rasterización.

En conclusión, nuestras experiencias con nuestro algoritmo y telefonía confirman que la Calidad de Servicio (CdeS) de Internet y el bus de memoria pueden colaborar para lograr este objetivo. Foliage ha establecido un precedente para las epistemologías generalizadas, y esperamos que los investigadores construyan Foliage en los próximos años. Foliage ha establecido un precedente para los conversores de digital a analógico, y esperamos que los futuristas midan Foliage durante los próximos años. Esperamos ver que muchos físicos se movilicen para construir nuestro sistema en un futuro muy cercano.

How much does a translation cost?

—How much does a translation cost?

—Well, it may be a per-case matter.


HOW TO MAKE MORE MONEY (by increasing your volume).


THE EVER-CHANGING PRICES OF SOME SERVICES (and... products).

Also, I think other ways to be disruptive ought to be by "shaking the beehive" in the rest of the world's direction or, sometimes, in oneself's direction!
—Who will get the honey...?
—Well, who knows...?

OKAY.

I am going to get right to it.

HOW TO MAKE MORE MONEY
(by increasing your volume).

And, no I am not going to charge $47  as some vendors do at Clickbank (www.clickbank.com "A global Internet retailer"; "Premier Internet retailer", etcetera), a somewhat famous Boise-based company—  per two hyped and useless e-books and a set of six equally useless and time-consuming DVD's; no, you will get this info FOR FREE, here and right now.

1. It has come the time when some freelancers/professionals should consider to charge different, ever-changing prices for the services they perform.

This SYSTEM has worked and is working for me. As an English-Spanish translator, I have not set a fix price; instead, I charge from 2 to 12 pennies per word (source word count, id est, source language), depending on:

A) Field/theme. If I like the theme, I will be charging less, because my fingers will be easily sliding (and even "flying") over my keyboard, as if all of it were a game, a hobby or a passion play. If I really enjoy the task, maybe I will be charging less.

B) Length of the material to be translated; the number of words to be translated.

C) Complexity of the subject matter of their content.

D) Turnaround time. How quickly are they looking to have their content translated? There are no reliable averages, as a given translator can translate about 2,000 words per day, and other translator can translate 4,500 words per day.

Some translators charge "n" amounts for editing and proofreading.

(Editing and proofreading, at least for me, are easy tasks to do, so I seldom charge for these ones, provided I have translated the texts.)

And... when a client happens to ask for a per-hour pricing, I charge a "whopping" $400.00
(U.S. currency) per hour!, payable IN ADVANCE... with the aim of not to be assigned to a per-hour task. And I have always come successful at this.

For other translators, who charge 12 cents per word, their per-hour price could be... Well, let us say that, as I have mentioned above, some translators translate an average of up to 2,000 words of content per day; now, let us take that number and divide it by an 8-hour work day. That leads us to about 250 words per hour.

Those translators offer their translation services for $0.12 per word. Multiply 250 words by $0.12/word. That comes up to $30.00/hour.

——

Sometimes I am so busy, that I reply e-mails one week after I have received them! So if someone (an entrepreneur, owner, company, industrial entity, etcetera) wants or ahem, REALLY NEEDS an urgent translation, it may be a matter of "luck", for him/her/it, and for me as well.

——

http://search.proz.com/employers/rates


E) I deliver the translated text in Word 2003 format or WordPad, or simple txt (the client's choice); I do not format texts, not even in PDF (portable document format). I rarely translate captions in Excel, and when I do, I charge a lo-o-o-t more.

F) The value I give to MY time at any given moment of the day/week.

G) My pending tasks, if any.

H) My mood at that time. I can feel high- or low-spirited, motivated, exhilarated, etcetera.

I) The nature/temperament of my client, is he/she/it a demanding, penny-pincher, angry individual/company?, or maybe a gentle, serene, relaxed person/enterprise?



████
Please, let me post a digression:

At    http://launchastartup.com/odesk-vs-elance/   you should read at least two paragraphs, one which starts with the following words: "Here’s how it is supposed to work", and another one, which starts this way: "Here’s how it actually works".

Please, let me make it clear, SOMETIMES I charge less, but nonetheless I deliver quality translations.

End of the digression.
████


All of that said, please let me pinpoint two paramount factors:

I. THESE ARE PER-CASE MATTERS. It does not apply a list of several pre-set prices policies, because there are so many factors involved. You are not buying a cheese burger, french fries, and a Coca-Cola. You are rather
 buying variably-priced "vegetables" and "fruits". As far as I know, no one will be reading a PRICE LIST when it comes to translations. 

II. Each task, each translation project requires a unique approach and there are a lot of variables involved in determining its price.

Sure, I know this SYSTEM of changing prices IS NOT for everyone... Maybe it is not for physicians, engineers, public accountants, programmers, pilots, drivers, teachers, nurses, etcetera, etcetera.

And if you are a translator (or maybe a graphic designer), and a client of yours happens to tell you or e-mail you something like: "... But last month you charged me only four cents per word! (or 20 dollars for the graphic design of a page or a couple of pages), why are you trying to charge [...] now?", you can reply: "At this time, this is the price... This is my final offer at this very moment; you can take it or leave it".

The prices of cucumbers, potatoes, melons, strawberries, commodities, shares, oil!, etcetera, keep going up and down all of the time...

I even inform them about the phone numbers or e-mail addresses of some of my competitors! I am not afraid to lose a client.

Besides, there are Websites like freelancer.com upwork.com guru.com verbalize.com translatorscafe.com proz.com mytranslation.com mytranslation.net

By the way, perhaps   mytranslation.net   is not so good: At http://translationethics.blogspot.com/p/blacklist-m.html a translator wrote: "Furthermore, I would like to confirm the comments about MyTranslation.net. I cancelled my account after one day - the rates are the lowest of all agencies (0.04 - 0.05 EUR per source word), yet the translator takes care of all the administrative tasks, dealing directly with clients as if they were indeed, direct clients! Normally, this is the work of Project Managers. Not a good deal. Many thanks once again for your valuable Translation Blog."

BEWARE OF SCAMS:

You can read some blacklists at:

I have adopted the above-mentioned policy of changing prices based upon the philosophy and ideas of futurologist and social scientist Alvin Toffler (New York City, 1928- ). In his 1990 book Powershift, he says that state-of-the-art technology is accelerating the pace of business, human relationships, etcetera.

And, I can keep remembering that prices of cucumbers, potatoes, melons, strawberries, commodities, shares, oil!, etcetera, keep going up and down all of the time...

La Chacha Micaila

In English:

The Chacha* Micaila

*Chacha is an apheresis of "muchacha" (girl).
*Chacha es una aféresis de "muchacha".

(La Muchacha Micaela)

The girl [called] Micaela

by Antonio Guzmán-Aguilera (1894-1958)
  
My house, little mother of my soul
what for do I want it anymore?,
if the dove has flown from the nest
if I miss the warmth of her body,
if her canaries have been dying
because of jaundice
if the calabur trees
no longer drop their seasonal fruits
and the bluebells and the poppies
have fallen so hard
that anyone who will visit me
steps on petals.

And it was me who saw her,
very decayed
with [her] black eyes
plunged into dark purple rings
under her eyes, and then
such groans,
such dizziness
that supposedly were vertigos
the doctor said.

May our Lady bless me!
Only by remembering it,
I suffer much chill
I choke at my chest,
and made my hands and feet,
like the clappers of electric bells.
That little by little she was dying!
she coughed and coughed
and poor she cried silently.
  
—Do not cry, Micaila,
by all of the saints in heaven,
I told her when I saw her weeping
and when saying that, I wept myself.

—Indeed you will get well
with the jumbles the doctor has given to you
do not be distrustful about medicines
that they took me out of the cursed hell.

Go ahead my Chacha! [my Girl!]
I want to see your brunette face,
like two coals
sparkling, your pretty little eyes.

Oh! I almost forgot to tell you that
the godfather Chencho brought
a woman's shawl warped from a yarn ball,
for when you get well
and on the trotter horse, the blackish one,
I have thought that by then we the two cute ones
go one Saturday to see him.

Do you want it?, and on Sunday we will eagerly
eat chilli gravy with sesame sauce,
and barbecue,
and the broiled meat,
and when it get dark,
we will step back
by the plain below,
as one follows the brow of the hill.
Micaila!, do not cry
and I gave her a kiss.

She smiled
an instant, but
watched me with great sadness,
as if the shadow of presentiment
flooded her eyes with tears
which she after shed in silence.

The day of her death,
her ashen face was scary.
  
—Well then, what happens to you, Chacha?
—I do not know what I have,
but I know I will go, and it will be forever.

—I will go running, if you want,
to search for the doctor,
do you want me to, little brunette?

—Ultimately, what for?, better be here in peace,

I finally want to talk to you, Chacho,
before I got drown in remorse.
Sit and listen; I wanted to tell you
about it since long ago
and at the mere [hour],
no, because I felt ashamed.

Because one is a woman!, Chacho, damn!,
and fear supposedly does not walk on a donkey
but now what does it matter, my black one.
if your Chacha is already going to die
it does not matter that you know my horrible secret.

About six years ago, sure you remember when
our lords invited us to the branding of cattle.

—Indeed I remember!;
was not it that Sunday
I went out gored by a
blackish bull near the bars,
in the Green Ranch (Rancho Verde)
of Mister John (señor Juan)?

—The same one,
I saw that you have remembered it;
well then, you there have that
just at the time of knowing about it,
from the big house
through the door I ran,
and at the bars I found Don Antonio,
that eldest son of Don Pedro,
who was then mayor of the town.

I asked him about you,
your wound, your whereabouts,
and he told me that on a stretcher
they pulled you to the doctor's house
and that if I wanted,
he would take me on the rump
at the same point
I accepted, what the hell was nothing!,
to let you die like a dog.

Nobody saw us leaving the bars
and in a heartbeat
we arrived to the paddock,
and galloping we climbed
the slope of the hill,
and when we were going down
by the canyon of the Christ
so deep and so black,
Antonio began with his things,
with his flattering compliments;
that I was a May rose
that my eyes were nocturnal luminaries.

At all of this I was silent; as a fool he stood
and told me that you were poor:
all in all, a rancher;
he instead owned a big farm
with many bags of pesos;
that I [should] leave you
and we [he and me] would leave
to Mexico, or to Uruapan, or to Queretaro.

I got really gallant and told him,
although poor, my blackish one
gave me much to brag
and walk daily with the short skirt
very bespangled
and every week with a new shawl.

—Well then, if not for love, by force,
he said, scratching his nag,
and without further he squeezed my waist
and stained my mouth with a kiss.

Never had he did that, I felt the blood
blinded my eyes, and the fury my bosom;
I took the cutlass from the saddle,
and by his back, I sank it into his neck.
He fell forward with a horrific scream,
and rolled bouncing to the bottom of the gorge...

No one knew anything;
when they found him all undone [destroyed]
guided by the pure stench of the ravine,
the judges said,
it had supposedly been a suicide
for not known loves and other entanglements,

I was silent... my mouth
but now, well then, tell me,
what for anymore my blackish one?

She remained as static;
perhaps she prayed when dying,
for the dead one.

I hugged her, crying,
I kissed her in silence,
and little by little,
she was dying [before me]...

My hut is cursed...
if you want it, mother,
well I will leave it to you,
if you like, set it on fire;

If you do not want it, sell it;
I'll return to the ranks, my mom,
to fight for the country I'll return;
if I a bullet happens to break me,
it will not matter!,
after all, in the world,
for those of us who suffer death in the soul,
living or dying is the same.
  
My house, dear mother of the soul
without her, what for do I want it anymore?




Antonio Guzmán-Aguilera was an important personage, journalist, writer, screenwriter, musician, painter and poet, known in the film environment of our country [Mexico] as Guz Águila. He was born in San Miguel del Mezquital, today Miguel Auza, in the Mexican State of Zacatecas, on March 21, 1894 and died in Mexico City on June 5, 1958.

When he was about six years old he changed along with his family to dwell in the city of Durango, and six years later to Mexico City, where his father died a few years later.

In 1920 he began his career as a journalist in a Mexico City newspaper called El Universal Ilustrado, as a theater critic, alternating that activity with the ones of writer and composer of revues.

A few years later he entered the film industry as a writer, participating in several highly successful films; for example, La Llorona (The Weeper), Soy charro de Rancho Grande (I am a charro* from a Big Ranch), Aguila o sol (Heads or tails), Así se quiere en Jalisco (So they love each other in Jalisco), Soy charro de levita (I am a charro in a frock-coat), among many others.

La Chacha Micaila

por Antonio Guzmán-Aguilera (1894-1958).
  
Mi casa, magresita del alma
ya pa' qué la quero
si se jue la paloma del nido
si me falta el calor de su cuerpo
si ya sus canarios
de tiricia se han ido muriendo
si los capulines
ya no sueltan sus frutos del tiempo
y las campanillas, las adormideras
si han cáido tan recio
que cualquiera que va a visitarme
pisa sobre pétalos.

Y yo que la vide, dialtiro decáida
con los ojos negros
zambutidos en unas ojeras
moradas, y a luego
los tales quejidos;
los tales mareos
que dizque eran váidos
al decir del médico.

¡Válgame la Virgen!
Ya no más de acordarme, padezco
mucho escalofrío
y me hogo del pecho,
y se me hacen manos y pieses
como los badajos de los timbres létricos.
¡Qué poco a poquito se me jue muriendo!
tosía y tosía
y lloraba la probe en silencio.

—No llores, Micaila,
por toítos los santos del cielo
decíale al verla llorando
y al decirlo, lloraba yo mesmo.

—Si te pondrás güena,
con los revoltijos qui ti ha dado el médico
no sías disconfiada con las medecinas
que a mí me sacaron del maldito infierno.

¡Ándale, mi Chacha!,
quero ver tu rostro trigueño,
como dos tizones
achispados, tus lindos ojuelos.

¡Ah!, se me olvidaba decirte que trujo
un rebozo de bola
mi compadre Chencho,
pa' cuando te alivies
y en el cuaco trotón, en el prieto,
he pensado pa' entonces que vayamos
los dos riales un sábado a verlo.

¿Queres?, y el domingo le entraremos
al mole muy recio,
y a la barbacoa,
y a los asaderos.
y en cuanto Dios escurezca,
al paso golvemos
por el llano, abajo,
a según se sigue la falda de cerro.
¡Micaila!, no llores,
y le daba un beso.

Ella se sonreía
un instante, pero
me miraba con una tristeza,
como si la sombra del presentimiento
le preñara los ojos de llanto,
que después derramaba en silencio.

El día de su muerte,
su rostro cenizo me dio mucho miedo.
 
—¿Pos qué tienes, Chacha?
—No sé lo que tengo,
pero sé que me voy y es para siempre.

—Correré, si queres por el siñor médico,
¿queres, trigueñita?
—¿Ya pa' qué?, mejor tate sosiego.

Quero hablarte por último Chacho,
antes de que me hoguen los remordimientos.

Asiéntate y oye; yo quise decírtelo
dende hace mucho tiempo
y a la mera, no, pos yo me ciscaba.

¡Cómo uno es mujer! Chacho, ¡qué caray!,
y el miedo dizque no anda en burro,
pero ahora qué li hace, mi negro,
si ya se te muere tu Chacha
qué li hace que sepas mi horrible secreto.

Hace unos seis años, siguro ¿recuerdas
que nos invitaron a los herraderos
los siñores amos?

—Vaya si me acuerdo;
¿no jue aquel domingo
que salí cornao por un toro prieto,
cerca de las trancas, en el Rancho Verde
del ñor Juan?

—El mesmo,
ya vide que ti has acordado;
pos áhi tienes nomás que al saberlo,
de la casa grande
por la puerta mesma me salí corriendo,
y en las trancas jallé a don Antonio,
aquel hijo mayor de don Pedro,
que era entonces alcalde del pueblo.

Preguntele al punto
por ti, por tu herida, por tu paradero,
y me dijo que en una camilla
te jalaron pa' casa del médico
y que si quería me llevaba en ancas,
en el punto mesmo
aceté, ¡qué caray!, no era cosa
de dejarte morir como un perro.

No nos vido salir de las trancas
naiden, y llegando de un bote al potrero,
y a galope tendido trepamos
la cuesta del cerro,
y al bajar la barranca del Cristo,
tan honda y tan negra,
don Antonio empezó con sus cosas,
con sus chicoleos;
que si yo era una rosa de mayo
que si eran mis ojos nocturnos luceros.

Yo a todo esto callaba;
él se puso muy necio
y me dijo que tú eras probe:
total, un ranchero;
que él, en cambio, era dueño de hacienda
con muchas talegas de pesos;
que te abandonara
y nos juéramos pa' México,
o pa' los Uruapas o pa' los Querétaros.

Yo me puse muy gira y le dije
qui aunque probe, me daba mi prieto
pa' presumir mucho
y andar diariamente con el zagalejo
muy lentejueliao
y cada semana con rebozo nuevo.

—Pos si no por amor, por fuerza,
me dijo, rayando su penco,
y sin más me apretó la cintura
y mi boca manchó con un beso.

Nunca lo hubiera hecho, sentí que la sangre
cegaba mis ojos, y el furor mi seno;
saqué del arzón el machete,
y por las espaldas, lo jundí en su cuello.

Cayó pa' delante con un grito horrendo.
y rodó rebotando hasta el jondo
del desfiladero...

Naiden supo nada;
cuando lo jallaron todito dishecho
guiados por el puro jedor del barranco,
los jueces dijeron,
quesque jue un suicidio
por no sé qué amores y demás enredos.

Yo me estuve callada la boca
pero ahora, pues dime, ¿ya pa' qué, mi prieto?

Se quedó como estática; acaso
rezaba al morir, por el muerto.

La abracé llorando,
la besé en silencio,
y poco a poquito,
se me jue muriendo.

Mi jacal tá maldito...
si lo queres, madre,
pos áhi te lo dejo,
si te cuadra quémalo;
no lo queres, véndelo;
yo me güelvo a las filas, mi mamá,
a peliar por la patria me güelvo;
si me quebra una bala, ¡qué li hace!,
al cabo en el mundo,
pa' los que sufrimos la muerte en el alma,
vivir o morir es lo mesmo.

Mi cantón, magresita del alma,
¿sin ella ya pa' que lo quero?...

PDB Combos, or "Pseudo-Databases Combos"


——————————————————–——
████████COME█████ON!██████████
——————–——————————————


PDB Combos, or "Pseudo-Databases Combos" 

Pseudo-databases are different from fake databases. Fake databases are real databases with fake / false data. I will be calling "pseudo-databases" to files with real data, but they will have only the look or resemblance of a database.

However, in an underlying layer, computers will be managing / operating / re-arranging, real databases.


At the bottom, I have written something about a loosely-related-to-this-stuff  "SECRET".

An open and free project has been started. It can be copied, replicated, partially or totally mirrored in other websites, modified, re-indexed, re-arranged, renamed, filtered, shortened, enlarged, manipulated, et cetera, "echoed" anytime, everywhere, by anyone; id est, anyone can build his/her own "PDB Combo".

Absolutely NO copyright.

It has to do with the building of several or many REAL databases by "brewing" a combo of pseudo-databases composed of several items,

(1) being one of them, an adaptation of the idea and concept coined by computer scientists Eric Freeman and David Gelernter (1955- ) —the last one, a non-fatal victim of Ted Kaczynski (1940- ), a.k.a. "the Unabomber"—, who like to think about the future of important sections of the web as Lifestreams. They launched their project-proposal at Yale University (New Haven, CT 06520), in the mid-1990s: ... a chronological-ordered stream of documents that funcions as a diary of your electronic life...

http://cs-www.cs.yale.edu/homes/freeman/lifestreams.html#origin


http://old.sigchi.org/bulletin/1996.1/fertig.html

SIGCHI (in the above line) stands for Special Interest Group on Computer-Human Interaction.


(2) another element can be the inclusion of YOUR OWN Webtiger's mark —WTM— (not an obligation, of course, but highly recommendable) in all of your websites (or almost all of your websites), webpages, blogs, texts, documents, writings, posts, messages, Facebook wall, videos, images, photographs, links software, et cetera... even in your tweets.


beta3625169410

beta3625169410 

My personal Webtiger's mark (WTM) is beta3625169410 (a string of characters formed by the name of the second letter of the Greek alphabet, and seven numbers squared, in inverted order). 

A Webtiger's mark is a string of unique characters.

—You can find many of my writings and some images/pictures, by typing in the search box of Google this: beta3625169410; then, you would be able to follow the links. 

I invite you to create a unique mark, your personal Webtiger's mark, so the public/readers will be identifying more easily your  websites, webpages, blogs, texts, documents, writings, posts, messages, Facebook walls, videos, images, photographs, links software, et cetera... even your tweets... except, of course, those files, albums... you want to keep confidential, semihidden, or revealed only to a few.

My personal mark would be the "smell" of my urine if I were a tiger which marks territories by urinating on trees. 

Tigers are known for marking their respective territories by urinating on trees. 

(Please click on the below image in order to enlarge it.)




You can copy these paragraphs (with slight [or major] modifications for the convenience of you and for the benefit of your readers, friends, acquaintances, customers, et cetera) and the above image, which shows a urinating Web tiger, and paste them in some or all of your websites.

Or you can create another image...

... and, what will your Webtiger's mark be?

Let us say that you know a Peter R. Sands; well, the WTM of Peter could be peterrsands19881110%#. He was born on the Tenth day of November, 1988, et cetera. This WTM would be similar in its uniqueness to the "smell" of a tiger's "urine" in the cyber jungle.

There are many ways to create a WTM.

So, the idea goes on like this: if you type Peter's WTM in the search box of Google, peterrsands19881110%#, and his documents, videos, et cetera, should appear in the first links shown to you by the search engine.

If in the future, Webtigers' marks (WTM's) do not perform as expected/are not useful, they can be discarded, thrown into the electronic waste basket or tossed into the sea...

Of course the above phrases have been typed in order to "prove" that a WTM can be useful to quickly find websites, webpages, images, works, et cetera, created by the owner of such WTM.

(3) PLUS a juxtaposition of COLUMNS and ROWS filled with answers to some of the seven questions asked by Latin rhetorician Marcus Fabius Quintilianus (Calahorra, Spain, c. 30-?, c. 100) in his famous hexameter: Quis, quid, ubi, quibus auxiliis, cur, quomodo, quando?, namely, Who, what, where, by what means, why, how (in what way), when?

In Latin Rethoric, these questions are called circumstances, and their respective answers are considered fundamental in information-gathering, journalism, history, criminal investigation, et cetera; they constitute a formula for knowing the complete story of a subject.

Now, one of the main reasons for calling those grid-like renderings of COLUMNS and ROWS, pseudo-databases and not databases, is that they, in fact, will be shown as the results or renderings or "visual aspects" of REAL databases, but without the "paraphernalia" or heavy weight in terms of megabytes, gigabytes, terabytes, of REAL databases, which can be manipulated, re-arranged, re-indexed, et cetera, in multiple ways, by using database software, Base (OpenOffice), Microsoft Access, or Calc* (the spreadsheet software by OpenOffice), Excel,* or even SQL.

*Strictly speaking, these programs do not constitute database management software, but they can be used as such. Also, they are more user-friendly.

A chronologically indexed database would answer to the "WHEN" part of the hexameter, and that procedure can be paired or equaled with the idea or scientists Freeman and Gelertner, "a time-oriented stream of documents..."

The keyword in Freeman and Gelernter's idea is the chronological order ("WHEN") but in fact, your REAL databases can be indexed in a number of ways, exempli gratia, according to the data of each and all of the columns in each database. So, in the end you can have a set of results, as many as the number of columns each one of your databases has.

As far as I can tell, I have found that one of the most user-friendly and best programs to manage small or short databases, is Excel, though it is not exactly a database manager.

However, Excel is limited by the maximum number of rows a listing can contain: 65,536.

Databases can be alphabetically indexed according to the data entered in each of several COLUMNS, by subordinating the columns of your choice.

But, if you apply exclusively the idea of scientists Freeman and Gelernter, of a time-oriented stream of documents, you can easily avoid the use of databases, Excel, et cetera, and just keep adding new data (by typing, copying and pasting, et cetera) to your lifestream, to your ROWS and COLUMNS. —That's the great advantage of Freeman&Gelernter's idea.

Obviously, that idea and its application has its pros and cons.

(4) PLUS a collection of the first 50 words only, of each website, not all of them, a different work than the actions of Googlebots, which download entire webpages of websites, to index the word these webpages contain...

This will be that way (first 50 words only), as a measure to not overcharge REAL databases, which should be lighter.

An example of the rendering of a REAL database query, shown in the form of a pseudo-database, would look like this:

Chronol.       Personage

When you do not know the exact date of a deed, you can type/use two zeroes for the day, and also two zeroes for the month, if you only know the year. Also, if you do not know the year, you can write something like this 11780000? (circa 1178). For years before Christ (B.C.) or before common era (BCE), you should write a minus (-) sign before the number, v.g., -4296.

The point or "node" is that companies such as:

yahoo.com, bing.com, ask.com, cuil.com.co, www.hotbot.com, google.com, kosmix.com, hakia.com, lexxe.com, answers.com/bb, wolframalpha.com, deeppeep.org, clusty.com, http://blindsearch.fejus.com, duckduckgo.com, yauba, hunch.com, oneriot, scoopler, powerset, et cetera, 

keep their databases concealed. Yes, it is their right, they have invested a lot of money to create software, gather information, download it, index it, keep it stored, et cetera, but we, the general public, can do something about that.

Is this a proposal for a Google killer? Absolutely not, instead, we could play the role of "remoras that swim along with sharks", taking advantage of search engines.


(5) PLUS a virtual Web phantom.

(6) PLUS a virtual chip that will connect some or all of your websites among each other, and also to ... ?

I have forgotten the last part of this idea. Hope to recall it at a later time... ññ

While scientists do not create a software or a metasoftware which automatically indexes data and info, and send them from the millions of websites to a general repository, we should continue using the services of the major search engines.

It seems that such parasoftware or panacean (cure-all) software or "accelerator" is still faraway, so meanwhile, perhaps it would be necessary to apply a revolutionary method, like the one that was applied, in other field, by Norweigan explorer Roald Amundsen, who took along with his team —besides a food invented by North American indians, called Pemmican (fat and protein)— a strange kind of food: a living, running food: 27 of the 45 remaining sled dogs, which he and his team killed for food, December, 1911, in a place they called The Butchers' Shop, at 85º 36', close to the South Pole.

If we aim to create "enzymes" specific for certain "substrates", maybe we will be speaking of a thematic indexation of the web, represented in the fifth column headed by the word "BRANCH" in the above, six-column example, while Freeman and Gelernter focuse on a chronogical-ordered stream, the "WHEN" (first) column.

Sure, there already is an Open Directory Project at http://www.dmoz.org/ but its possibilities of editing and adding articles are restricted.

Now, please let me share the promised "SECRET" with you:

It has to do with YouTube.

Nowadays, YouTube is growing by several terabytes a day. 

Videos are so heavy, that the YouTube bandwidth usage is of many petabytes per month.

Starting in 2010 and continuing to the present, Alexa ranked YouTube as the third most visited website on the internet, behind Google and Facebook.

On March 21, 2013, the number of unique users visiting YouTube every month reached one billion; more than 33 millions per day. 

It is estimated that 108,000 hours of new videos are uploaded to the site every day.

Some industry commentators speculate that YouTube is losing several million dollars a day.

That being said...


It does not matter, YouTube can be used as a great, "very liquid" and faster vehicle for the expansion and divulgation of your ideas, promotions, business, et cetera, which can be known fastly and easily by others, as the Googlebots or "spiders" give preference to crawling and indexing their sibling websites, id est, YouTube, blogger/blogspot...

So, here are the good news: you can upload a fifteen-to-thirty-second video —it can be a real video, showing for example, a fish swimming in a fish bowl, complemented/accompanied by a fragment of a Bach or Mozart sonata (less than 15 seconds long, and repeat that part if necessary, so you will not violate © Copyright),

[...]

or a pseudo-video made up of grey, blue, violet or whatever color squares drawn in Paint with a few phrases or sentences typed on them, and assembled as a "video" by using the program called Windows Movie Maker or a similar one.

[...]

or a real video recorded by yourself, which can be recorded with your webcam or your cellular phone camera, for example, let us say, at 10:00 p.m., in the most complete darkness of your office/living room/studio/bedroom, you can light an incense stick, point your lit LED (light-emitting diode) lamp/lintern towards the ascending smoke, and let the camera record that, then you can edit, mix, add your favorite classical or por music as the soundtrack, et cetera.

Now, once you have composed/arranged your video or "video", HERE comes the MOST IMPORTANT part: 

You will have to type the info, promotional phrases, announcements, et cetera, about your business/idea/project inside the "Description" of the video, below the Heading, you will become a WORDCASTER, your words, your message, shall have to be revealed, spread in the DESCRIPTION section of the video or "video" you will be uploading (which is not so important, in this case).

Please hark onto me, do not hesitate, go dare and do things quick, dirty and fast; do not wait for the perfect product/market/time, ignore the naysayers...

Start with a catchy phrase, so readers will want to open the text by clicking on the line which reads "Show More", and keep scrolling down the text by using their mouse... and reading...

In the Description section, maybe you will not be able to spell out some complete URL's, such as www.anywebsite.com but you can type them as, triple w DOT anywebsite DOT c o m  OR w w w DOT anywebsite DOT  c o m      et cetera.
