Membership is worth the investment and pays for itself quickly.

The investment in membership has consistently paid itself off, both through new clients and perhaps even more importantly access to the Blue Board.

I have acquired 60% of the total number of my clients via ProZ.com. The site is extremely efficient and is visited by serious outsourcers. Therefore, I will stay with the site!

I have been working as a translator for a number of years and have been using ProZ.com as an aid on numerous occasions. I came to the point of considering myself completely hooked on it. It made my life easier when in desperate need of immediate consultation. It is easy to use and gives you immediate response when certain translation-related issues arise and need to be promptly addressed. It gives me the opportunity to interrelate with others that are in the same field and exchange ideas and ask questions to a panel of experts which in most occasions give me real-time feedback. ProZ.com can also be considered an excellent channel for getting to know potential clients and establish new working relationships that may significantly increase your chances of consolidating new contracts. It’s a great place to share your knowhow with others while at the same time benefiting yourself from the experience of others. This site is a must for anyone who intends pursuing this line of profession.

I was able to become a full-time freelance translator with clients met through ProZ.com. It was the start to my new life and I haven't looked back since!

I have been a paying member for about 9 months. During that time I have met more than new 10 clients, most of them paying really well and usually on time.

When I started freelancing almost ten years ago, I used a variety of methods to reach out to potential clients. I placed an ad in the local yellow pages (no lead whatsoever), I sent out hundreds of emails to translation agencies (this landed me a couple of jobs), but by far the most efficient way of promotion was using the features that are available on ProZ.com.

I have had a lot more profitable work since I joined ProZ.com last year,
and can pick and choose my jobs now, which is a great luxury.

I think the invoicing tool is about as perfect as it can be. Great job!

I *LOVE* your site - it has been invaluable as a professional tool! ...Just wish I'd discovered it years ago!

ProZ.com membership is powerful, sound and simply the best.

ProZ.com has helped me build my translation business... I now have more work than I can handle.

It's definitely worth it. I've been a registered user at ProZ.com since 2002, but only started getting jobs through the site after becoming a member. The membership fee paid back after the first order.

The membership helped me launch my professional career. I began receiving job offers through my profile from outsourcers from both Poland and abroad. In my case, the fee paid off in the very first month of being a full member. Being a paying member doesn't automatically make you a better translator, but it certainly gives you more opportunities.

I have grown with ProZ.com and I am really very happy with my membership. This is the only reason why I have paid for my membership years in advance and I intend to do so in the coming years. I am fully convinced that ProZ.com will grow even more and that there will come a time when it will expand to every nook and cranny of the world. Amen.

ProZ.com has acted as my guide. With my ProZ.com membership, I'm a happy, fully-fledged freelancer and I can safely say that I wouldn't be where I am today without the knowledge that I have gained from the site or the friendly community support network. Thank you!

ProZ.com has been a fantastic asset. I really appreciate being able to contact other professionals for advice when translating difficult terms. I have also increased my client base. Thank you so very much!

The KudoZ section has become a regular part of my daily working routine. I can always count on it for useful information and interesting linguistic and cultural tidbits, as well as insights into my colleagues backgrounds and thought processes.

This is simply the best, most comprehensive support network and best moderated web site I could wish for as a translator.

ProZ.com is an essential tool for translators and interpreters. For me, it is a virtual work and marketplace. Forums, Powwows, conferences and group buys add a very beneficial social component without which many translators would feel very lost and alone in today's market.

What I like most at ProZ.com is the relationship between the ProZ.com staff and us, the members. I felt that, while other sites are only after the money, you really care about us and about the way you can help us. This is very important.

ProZ.com is a new higher level society and new way of thinking for translators!

ProZ.com has been a valuable resource,such as allowing me to organize a powwow which allowed for new contacts, which have encouraged to the valuable translator relation information that is presented. And most of all in the KudoZ which has allowed me to
broaden my language skills, again thank you!

This past year has been great. I woke up one morning deciding to go back to translating full time but I was not 100% sure that my decision was the right one. I left my "safe" English teaching job and recontacted my old clients. It didn't take long and I was soon back on track. Thanks to ProZ I have made contacts with new agencies around the world. I have met colleagues worldwide and found new friends... Words are my passion and this is the ideal job for me with growing children who love to see me around. My small office at home is not a lonely place at all and may I say I have never been happier. Thanks

Our common experiences as translators, the sharing of worries, doubts, questions in our forums regarding ONE TOPIC: TRANSLATION, all this has already created a warm, welcoming and caring community,
complete with powwows and special personal friendships.

Thanks for creating an inspiring place for us.

I am really glad this web site exists!

Become a ProZ.com member (the membership fee will definitely pay off), answer KudoZ questions, get some WWA and don't forget to fill out your profile completely.

I appreciate the high standard of the site structure and the quality of jobs offered. Thanks for this opportunity!

I have been aware of ProZ.com for a long time, but it never occurred to me to join until recently! Now that I have joined, I wish that I had done so years ago!

Die Mitgliedschaftkosten sind ihr Geld wert und machen sich schnell bezahlt.

It's nice to be here, one of the highly respected communities in translation business. I am looking forward to making valuable contributions.

I am proud that I am with ProZ.com from the very beginning. A grandiose idea of one gifted visionary Henry of Syracuse to melt together the language lovers from all over the world had settled in my heart forever. It is an exquisite pleasure and refined delight. Long Live ProZ!

Personalmente estoy muy contenta con el servicio de ProZ.com y al contribuir pienso que colaboro en la existencia y desarrollo del sitio para beneficio de toda la comunidad de traductores. ProZ.com es todo un mundo, muy interesante y de gran ayuda. Me parece que es el mundillo más movido de todos los que hasta ahora conozco, en especial sus foros. ¡¡¡No dudes es escarbar dentro de sus páginas!!!

Je ne peux pas dire dans quelle proportion mon CA a augmenté suite à mon adhésion car j'ai pratiquement démarré mon activité freelance il y quelques années grâce à Proz. Ou alors il faut dire de 0 à 100% ! car mes premiers clients, je les ai trouvés sur Proz. Ma cotisation était payée (largement) dès mon premier contrat.

As an old song used to say, more or less, "Jeepers, creepers... where�d ya get them... 'ideas'"? These new features are simply fantastic and they work beautifully. My platinum membership is worth every dollar.

La membresía profesional, entre otras cosas, te da acceso inmediato a notificaciones de trabajo y acceso al Blue Board, un registro muy útil en el que los compañeros dejamos indicaciones sobre la fiabilidad de las agencias. Te salvará de disgustos con malos clientes.

ProZ.com is a terrific resource for anyone working with languages. It is great to meet other people working in the same field and to have access to glossaries and other useful information. Above all, for us at Shamrock, we have been able to win jobs in other countries, about which, without ProZ, we would never otherwise have known.

I think the site is very helpful to translators and I would like to spread the word around, so that every translator could benefit from the high quality of the site and also have the opportunity to share many doubts with other translators.

Thanks ProZ.com! I've managed to get two or three jobs via ProZ.com so I thought it was time you made an honest member of me! Regards, Nick

I joined Proz to have greater contact with the translation community at large. I decided to organize a Powwow and was pleasantly surprised to receive a job offer as well as an opportunity to collaborate in writing for a Web page from two invitees. Talk about unexpected benefits!
