Really interesting and many personal questions found answers. For future events, I hope that technical problems will be less important... A great moment

After an initial brief period of technical difficulties with the audio; I thought the presentation was not only well -presented and interesting, but that it also offered a lot of useful and new information, as well. Thanks again for this well-received yearly event, Suzanne: keep up the good work!

Time From To Content
13:06 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All You mean direct clients, Manuela?
13:07 Jun 6, 2014 Manuela Ribecai: 1214732 All I mean the one who'll pay for an ebook...
13:08 Jun 6, 2014 Manuela Ribecai: 1214732 All And, oher then that, what can we do to differentiate our income?
13:08 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All Right
13:09 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All So, offering training could be one.
13:09 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All How about adding service type sto the list of services we offer?
13:10 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All This article could help: http://wiki.proz.com/wiki/index.php/Services
13:11 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Writing does not seem to me to be the most clever way of trying to generate extra income. Too many people who work at too low prices.
13:12 Jun 6, 2014 Manuela Ribecai: 1214732 All Like in translation ;-)
13:12 Jun 6, 2014 starlightaloud: 1624756 All even lower!
13:12 Jun 6, 2014 Lucia Leszinsky: 855539 All True
13:13 Jun 6, 2014 Platon Danilov: 1882079 All Lucia has provided a great list to consider. Does anybody has an experience in any of these services?
13:14 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All "Low" in writing means "no pay". Lots of people are writing for free. Really, wanting to be a writer is one of the worst career moves you could make.
13:14 Jun 6, 2014 Henry Dotterer: 1 All I had to leave some minutes, could you resend the list?
13:15 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All The list is found via the link in Lucia's message.
13:15 Jun 6, 2014 Henry Dotterer: 1 All ok!
13:16 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All By the way, "writing" is NOT in that list.
13:17 Jun 6, 2014 Platon Danilov: 1882079 All But there is Copywritting
13:17 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Typesetting is no-go too. Not because it isn't paid, but normally translators are overqualified for typesetting.
13:17 Jun 6, 2014 Peter Motte: 30753 All Copywriting is only one facet of writing. At the same time it's a rather broad field.
13:18 Jun 6, 2014 starlightaloud: 1624756 All what do you think about offering tour guide services? that's one way of diversification
13:18 Jun 6, 2014 Manuela Ribecai: 1214732 All And, personally, I type enough;-)
13:18 Jun 6, 2014 Manuela Ribecai: 1214732 All and a way to go out and meet people
13:18 Jun 6, 2014 starlightaloud: 1624756 All yes, no typing included :)
13:19 Jun 6, 2014 Manuela Ribecai: 1214732 All but the hourly rate???
