    About the Webinar and Speaker

    Molly's back! After the great success of last year's subtitling webinar, the NYCT is proud to host a new webinar you cannot miss.

    If you are a freelancer, it means just that: You are free to work with whomever you want on your own terms. But that also means you have to be prepared to deal with crises and mitigate risk on your own. 

    During the Covid-19 pandemic, Molly’s tourism-focused translation business went from surging to flatlining in a matter of days. She took the opportunity to diversify her services and dive head first into a new specialization: subtitling. One year later, her first subtitled film debuted on Netflix. Now, post-pandemic, her business is a bit more “crisis-proof” than it was before. She has a diversified business and efficient marketing plan that better protects her from the ups and downs of freelance life. 

    This webinar will guide you on how to change your mindset, diversify your business, and create a marketing plan so you can better mitigate risk for your freelance business. 

    Using her recent experience as a base, instructor Molly Yurick will:  

    -Talk about changing your mindset: How to be free freelancers 

    Explain risk mitigation and why it’s especially important for freelancers 

    Outline how you can diversify your business, including a list of specific ideas for how you can diversify and where you can find new clients 

    -Teach you how to create and maintain a simple marketing plan
