United States
"I've been a member since 2005, Plus member since it started. As it's my only marketing channel I'm quite positive about it. I attended a ProZ.com conference in Eiffel Tower in 2010 and met Henry and other ProZ.com people there. I'll use ProZ.com services for as long as I translate. For me, the most useful function is the Blue Board. All of my clients have come via ProZ.com, both agencies and direct clients, even if not directly via ProZ.com but as recommended by my clients."
Estonia
"I have been a member since 2004 and I renew every year. I have been a member of Professional Plus since the first year. I find it's a good publicity for me and Plus offers many services that are quite useful. I also use the terminology. I never look for jobs on their platform, but I receive many requests from potential outsourcers, almost every day, ready to pay what I ask for. I translate for the French Canada market, which happens to be a very vibrant market that attracts many American, and European companies as well as Asian. Every product that is imported must be translated into French for the Quebec market (not French from France) along with all government texts because there are two official languages in Canada. It’s paradise for translators."
Canada
"About 90% of my clients have come from ProZ.com. I really don’t have a presence there and barely open the page, but the directory works and the right people have contacted me over the years."
United States
"I love all things ProZ.com because ProZ.com keeps on delivering. ProZ.com landed me a few regular and casual clients. ProZ.com is also my pension plan. Earning bucks with the laptop on the balcony of a hotel. Sea-side. Keep up your great work."
Croatia
"I have been working with ProZ.com for many years now and it’s the best network I have had the pleasure to work with."
Mexico
"My fifty thousand word a month assignment has been extended for the whole of July. It's for a very high-profile end client which will be great for attracting future clients. And I love the work. Yesterday I had an email from a new agency, who found me via my ProZ.com profile. This is the third time this year that I've been contacted directly via ProZ.com for work-- and in fact the assignment mentioned above came about in the same way."
United Kingdom
"Thank you! I appreciate all you are doing for us and you are to be "blamed" for me being 25 years in the translation business, and now a full time translator."
Croatia
"90% of my clients in the last 10 years contacted me thanks to ProZ.com membership."
Italy
"In less than a month, I have had more jobs than ever and I have already earned back the membership cost. If you are a quick learner, you will find more work than you can handle in a relatively short time!"

Subscribing to ProZ.com makes
good business sense. Here's how:
- As one freelancer put it, ProZ.com "works automatically as a marketing tool."
-
Your ProZ.com profile never stops working for you...
Even while you’re working, your ProZ.com profile is doing its job. The ProZ.com directory is the largest and most detailed in the industry, and hundreds of outsourcers hire via the directory every day. Profile pages (not job postings) are the most common means for clients and translators to meet. - And that's not all.
ProZ.com is also a global community
The contacts you make with trustworthy colleagues can lead to great things (as well as being a source of new work). Translators have used ProZ.com to connect with fellow professionals, and gone on to create new businesses, translators' organizations, networks, initiatives, services and events, across the Internet and in person, together. Maintaining a presence at the industry's leading crossroads may take you in new directions you never anticipated.
More than 36,000 translators, interpreters and translation companies have endorsed the ProZ.com professional guidelines. A new version of the guidelines has been released. See the professional guidelines here

Continuing professional development resources included in the Plus subscription
Continuing professional development (CPD) is important for any freelancer.
There are a lot of free resources nowadays that you can make use of;
there are also paid options that will help you build and maintain your skills,
but this can add up! The ProZ.com team wants to make what would normally be paid content and training more accessible to members,
so a growing array of resources is included as part of the Plus membership subscription.
The ProZ.com video library houses over a thousand hours of content, all free to Plus subscribers.
And now on-demand courses with certificates of completion are being added regularly to the package included in your Plus subscription.
As a ProZ.com member, you can also bring together in one place all of your CPD activity, have it verified by ProZ.com staff,
and showcase your continuing professional development to potential clients and collaborators as one more indication that you are a serious professional who is consistently improving and getting better at what you have to offer.
Plus subscriber video library: on-demand content on translation, interpreting, business, tech, and more

"In 2023, I began shutting down my freelance translator work. At 77, I am embarking on new challenges, but always related to the linguistic skills that ProZ helped me to hone. I began translating professionally in 1992 and I was one of the first adherents to ProZ.com. I have watched it grow and expand, and it has been a great help to me, especially in the early years in garnering clients that I worked with for nearly two decades in some cases. The KudoZ terminology tools were essential in helping me build my own glossaries for the types of jobs I was involved in. I recall the names of colleagues that I never had the chance to meet in person but with whom I interacted on the KudoZ platform. It has been a truly rewarding experience."
