A FEW WORDS ABOUT VIRGINIA
I’m the founder of VTranslations Professional Languages Services Agency in Athens, and I created the first Mentoring Program for translators in Greece in 2016.
Since 2016, I’ve helped hundreds of freelance translators worldwide attract international clients and rapidly build their profitable business through my 1:1 Mentoring Program.
What led me to start mentoring translators?
Too many translators who are good and love their craft fail to develop a thriving business that allows them to do their best work. But I know that financial freedom is possible through freelance translation.

I did not think it was possible, but It happened for me, and in April I reached a 10K month THANKS TO VIRGINIA. Virginia's program is the safest, non-threatening, most authentic introvert-friendly one I saw yet. If you are ready to grow and learn to market your services to your ideal clients, this program will teach you step-by-step how to do that. You will leave with the mindset and a suite of tools to succeed. Yes, it is an investment, but you will leave taking action. Without action, you (and your business!) cannot grow. The group is challenging and encouraging, and one of the best things about this program. And even though the mentoring takes place in a group, the coaching and advice is tailored to your specific situation and goals.
I contacted 2,000 new clients in 2 weeks and was able to get paid projects during the program! I had tried a couple of things to improve my profile and posted things with a certain frequency. I didn't get many results though. However, Virginia has been able to give me some very good suggestions, we had a very creative 1:1 session and the group dynamic was brilliant to hold me accountable and stick to the weekly tasks. After implementing the things we were seeing in the program I immediately started to get some results and have actually been able to find new clients with actual projects while the program was still going on. So I'd definitely recommend it.
In August I reached 10K turnover! Thank you so much, Virginia! Words can't describe how thankful I am. FBTF was extremely useful for my business: not only it boosted my network, but also made me reach many potential clients that I could have never reached in person in a so short period of time! I absolutely recommend it: Virginia is the perfect mentor to show all the details and solve any doubts! A unique experience that has changed my path! Words can't describe how thankful I am.
I had been looking for a comprehensive client acquisition program, more specifically using LinkedIn. I knew that I wanted to grow my business and that it was possible, but I felt like I lacked the tools and knowledge of specific prospecting methods. This is what Virginia offered. I entered the program with no clear path and left with a concrete strategy to follow. Thank you, Virginia!
I reached 10k months! It's worth the investment. Doors will start to open for you as you are guided in a meaningful way by Virginia's amazing mentoring skills and in-depth knowledge of our industry. LinkedIn doesn't seem so scary any more, now, and I realised how useful a tool it will prove to be.
I went for 0 clients to fully booked business owner & project manager in less than 6 months. The FBTF is truly the best thing I could have ever done to start my translation career. I had the opportunity to learn from someone as experienced as Virginia and the rest of the participants. To me, the most valuable thing about the program was how I felt that Virginia really wanted me to succeed. She was always there to help me with whatever I needed and whenever I needed it, and she was always willing to share her own experience and knowledge. Learning from the tips and advice from someone experienced and an expert in marketing for translators like Virginia is priceless.
I have been fully booked since starting the course, and I can't wait to continue implementing the rest of the strategies and growing even more! First, I would just like to say THANK YOU for sharing all your knowledge throughout the whole program. I appreciate every insight and recommendation. I can't believe that only some minimal changes and approaches learned from the course have pushed my business. I am also sure that it has to do with my mindset. I am also happy with the networking process with the rest of our colleagues.
More than three! 1. Lots of input to improve my profile. 2. I was a bit reluctant to pay for Sales Navigator because I have many expenses and not much income, but I can see it is really useful. I hope it pays off soon. 3. Lots of ideas for content that are easier to implement than the ones I usually think of. 4. Learning to use automation tools helps a lot to run the first stage of prospecting automatically, it saves a lot of time. 5. Although I still have to work on it, the importance of changing your mindset.
I highly recommend it because if you implement the strategy and contact a certain number of prospects per day, you will see results.
Virginia has all the necessary skills and passion to help you get where you want, but you need to work hard and be dedicated all along the way.
At a certain point in their professional path, many translators reach a limit, where they have to either continue to chase any odd job, hoping to make ends meet, or scale up and expand their work. Most of us simply don't know how to do that, and this is where Virginia comes in.
She has insightful, hands-on, deeply personalized advice about every step a translator needs to take in order to climb to the next level of their career and forever forget about the insecurities of the freelancer's work, but instead have a steady workflow in areas that they actually enjoy. Virginia's detailed, no-nonsense approach, combined with the ample free materials she shares on her channels, open new horizons and offer an abundance of priceless knowledge for her mentees. I personally couldn't be happier that I was given a chance to receive her guidance and learn how to take the next step in my translator's career.
The support from Virginia was great because, as everything in life there are ups and downs and as a starting out translator you can get quite demotivated but she helped me by emphasising my strengths and professionalism. She also gave lots of tips on how to reply to clients, both agencies and companies. The group support was also amazing because you get to have all the tips and experiences of other translators. Overall, as a starting out translator I really enjoyed the programme; I cannot expect results overnight but at least I have a method to create my own success over time.
If you are fumbling in the dark, you're willing to tackle the market and its challenges but you don’t know where to start or how to value your services, this is the programme you need!
I would definitively recommend it, if they want to get to the next level - to get clear where they are headed, what they actually want and to go for it with a step-by-step process, that helps you along the way.
It gives you the means to revamp or build your professional linkedin profile and to understand how the portal works and how you can contact people and get visible to the world.

✅ Expertise: Highlight what makes you a specialist.
✅ Value: Give them a reason to trust your work.
If clients can’t see what sets you apart, how can they choose you?

You’re a freelance translator or interpreter who wants more direct clients, but:
✓ You’re not sure where to find them or how to approach them without feeling pushy.
✓ Your LinkedIn profile looks fine, but it isn’t bringing you enquiries.
✓ You’ve sent emails and connection requests with little or no response.
✓ You’re wondering whether clients will still pay for human expertise as AI changes the market.
Here’s the question: Are you going to keep waiting for things to change, or change how you find clients?
On November 19, I’m hosting a free 90-minute live masterclass based on the strategies I’ve used in my own translation work for 20 years and shared with hundreds of freelance translators and interpreters.
You’ll discover how to identify direct clients who value human expertise, position yourself as a trusted specialist, and build a practical client-acquisition roadmap for 2027.
You can’t control how AI changes the market. But you can take control of how you find your next direct clients.
