Distinguish yourself through participation

（Edited by freelance Chinese translator li – English to Chinese or Chinese to English translation services）

In order to stand out at ProZ.com, you must participate in ways that make it possible to recognize your unique skills.

Contribute to KudoZ in your areas of expertise

In your KudoZ dashboard, subscribe to receive notification of KudoZ questions in your specific niche. Note that the volume of KudoZ questions can be quite large if you do not target carefully. At first, try subscribing only to "PRO" questions in your "specialty" fields in your top working language pairs.

Try to participate in answering a few KudoZ questions per week in your areas of expertise. Suggest answers, and comment on the answers of others. Over time, you will not only earn points and accumulate a body of sample work that helps to showcase your skills; you will also get to know the other experts in the field.

Publish online articles in your field

Share your expertise by publishing online articles in the areas in which you have special knowledge. People will contact you to discuss, or when they need help and/or your services.

Publish a personal glossary in your field

Publish a glossary of your own in your field. Make it available to the general public.

Participate in other ways that interest you

There are a number of other ways to participate in the ProZ.com community. Review the available ProZ.com services, and experiment with those that interest you.

Try participating in discussion forums that appeal to you, or attending (or proposing) a ProZ.com powwow in your area. You may wish to form a translation team, or participate in translator group buying. Look around and experiment, and participate in ways that work for you.
