自己拖延症非常严重,做事又容易放弃,关于翻译这件事并没有很强烈的兴趣,也不擅长,不然毕业后直接找翻译的工作了。之所以还希望能坚持下去纯粹是不想丢了自己唯一的技能了。。。另外,刚好自己现在做跨境商,也需要经常看看国外的网站,有些好内容也会有分享的冲动,所以打算开个贴记录一下,也算是变相地督促自己尝试着坚持一件事情吧
翻译的内容不限,不想给自己设限,可能是跟跨境电商有关的,可能跟自己的兴趣爱好有关,或者是其他新奇好玩的东西,又或者是啥乱七八糟的新闻,whatever
老师说专业的翻译要做到“信达雅”,好吧,我反正不专业,所以碰到翻不来的地方可能还会加点自己的理解,没准就把作者给误解了。所以,能有原文链接的就尽可能附上吧,有兴趣的朋友们看到也能自己直接看,就酱,以下先上一篇在Quora(相当于国际版的知乎)上看到的回答,作者的老婆是Etsy的卖家,这是他对其他卖家的建议:
Etsy店铺经营Tips
1.两个重点
A.有多少人进你的店铺:你的描述和标签影响着客户的流量;并且,也可以通过“更新”按钮使产品在品类页面靠前显示(更新需要付费,但还是由很多卖家使用此方法)。做调查,比如,在搜索框输入“handmade bracelet”时跳出的店铺
B.店铺流量转换率,即购买
2.影响转换率的首要因素是店铺内产品的多样性。你拥有的设计越多,访问你店铺的客户找到他们喜欢的设计的可能性就越大。需要有大量的设计,最好是每个设计有不同的辩题(同一设计但不同的颜色、材质等)
3.影响转换率的第二个因素是唯一性。Etsy上有成千上万的店铺在有限的产品类目里竞争(以时尚珠宝类为最)。你需要变得独一无二甚至有时候用巧妙的技巧吸引客户的注意
4.图片,图片,图片。。。每个产品有大量的图片。产品清晰的图片也可以,但最好产品是佩戴在模特身上的,或有漂亮的背景。当客户第一次进你的店铺,他可能会因为看到一堆东平西凑的图片而离开,注意你的店铺不是产品宣传册而是一个展示厅
5.定格:分配价格,使得有些价格“过高”而有些价格“过低”,然后你的爆款定在目标价。为什么要设置过高的价格?让你的客户看到其他畅销款时对价格不那么敏感,甚至觉得那些价格颇为合理
6.物流:物流时间很重要。如果你是美国之外的卖家但定位美国市场,那么很多买家可能会直接掉过你的产品如果运送时间要2-3周。这种情况下,用英镑来定价,这会告诉买家你只在英国境内销售,如果你定位整个欧盟市场,那么就把货币改成欧元,如果你同时又定位美国市场,那么必须使用美元了
7.店家信用:Etsy用户会关注你已有的销量和产品评价。这是个鸡生蛋蛋生鸡的问题。前50个的销售比接下来的100个要难的多。同时,Etsy平台倾向于成功的店铺
还有更多的策略性技巧,当最终只不过是不同人不同口味。你的店铺越是多样化,越有特色,那你对上客户胃口的可能性也就越大

“If passion drives you, let reason hold the reins.”
—Benjamin Franklin
Passion. What a thing.
It’s that adrenaline pump that wakes you up in the middle of the night with a vast idea -- one that will be the next (insert something big here). But here’s the catch: Passion also causes insomnia. It overrides your saner instincts. It is fully absorbing. Passion is chocolate cake: You can’t subsist on it alone. You have to know when to give passion a break.
You have to know when reason should step in.
I admit: I’m not very good at toggling between the two. I’m mostly stuck on passion -- speeding my motorcycle down a winding road, traveling until I’m run ragged, staying in an industry I adore (print magazines!) even as the rest of the world tells me I’m nuts. As an entrepreneur, I know you’re with me: You, too, struggle to balance passion with reason. After all, passion is what got you this far. Now we both have to figure out how to let our saner instincts in, too.
Passion slams the gas; reason steers us safely. Passion throws us out of an airplane; reason pulls the parachute cord. Passion made you launch a business; reason, I suspect, made you pick up this magazine. And in this issue, you’ll find people attempting this balance in real time -- people who are fueled by their passions, who took gigantic risks and now are making it work.
We do this issue every year. Truth be told, I cringe at our annual title: “Young Millionaires.” I love celebrating people for their passions, and so the focus on money just feels...tacky. But you know what? It’s OK. It’s a catchy phrase. (See how I’m embracing reason?) And these young entrepreneurs’ financial strength is only emblematic of their larger success: They have passion and reason. The perfect package.
You’ll meet Connor Franta, a kid who quit college to pursue the insane dream of being a YouTube star and is now plotting an even bigger move. There’s David Choi, who poured all his money into a taco truck, and Tara Reed, who built an app without knowing how to code. And there’s more! The collective horsepower of the next generation of entrepreneurs is always fascinating, and I know you’ll take inspiration no matter what age you are.
But we don’t want to forget the lessons only a seasoned and veteran entrepreneur can tell, which is why we also visit with Roxanne Thurman, the 66-year-old proprietress of Cry Baby Ranch, an iconic cowboy store in downtown Denver. Her wisdom is not only ageless; it’s priceless.
Be inspired. Stay up late planning and plotting. And then, please, get some sleep. You need to be fresh tomorrow.

如果你被激情点燃,理性让你冷静一下
——本杰明.富兰克林
激情,太奇妙了
就像一个能抽出肾上腺素的泵一样让你在半夜因为一个宏大的想法醒过来。可能成为下一个(这里应该插入点什么大事)但这里的重点是,激情也引起失眠。它太有吸引力,让你变得神经兮兮的。但激情就像一块巧克力,你不能仅靠它生活,必须知道什么时候缓一缓停下来。
你得知道理性该出马了。
我承认,我并不擅长在两者之间随意切换。更多情况下,我迷恋激情:在连续的弯路上高速行驶摩托车;一直旅行,直到我精疲力尽,待在我热爱的行业(纸媒!)哪怕全世界告诉我我疯了。作为一个企业家,我知道你跟我一样:挣扎在平衡激情与理性之间。毕竟,是激情成就了现在的你。现在,我们得想办法怎么让我们的理智参与进来。
激情是与瓦斯相撞,理性是掌舵带我们到安全的地方。激情把我们扔出飞机,理性撑开降落伞的绳索。激情让你创业;理性,我想,才是你拿起这份杂志的原因。在这个问题上,你会发现在现实生活中人们企图平衡两者——被激情点燃冒了巨大风险的的人们,现在正在平衡两者
我们每年都在干同样的事。说实话,每次看到我们的年刊标题“年轻的百万富翁”我都感到不安。我喜欢为人们的激情庆祝,所以把注意力放在钱上就觉得......俗气了。但你知道么,这没关系,这是个引人注目的词组。这些年轻企业家的经济实力只是他们更大的成就的象征:他们既有激情又有理性,多好的组合
你会看到Connor Frana,一个为了狂热的梦想从大学辍学的孩子,想成为YouTube明星,现在正计划更大的动作。还有David Choi,把所有的钱都投进了一辆墨西哥卡车,Tara Reed,一个连代码都不会的人创建了一个APP。这样的人还有很多很多!下一代企业家展现出来的力量总是吸引人的,我也知道不管你多大年纪都能从他们身上收获灵感。
但我们也不想忘记只有经验丰富的企业家才能得出的经验教训,这也是为什么我们也要拜访Roxanne Thurman,这个牧场66岁的女主人, 丹佛市中心地标性地牛仔店。她的经验不仅不会过时,更是无价的。
得到启发,熬夜做计划,然后睡一会,你明天需要精神饱满。

Quora问题:写博客很简单,但每天冒出新点子就不那么容易了
回复:我觉得你得先确定主题,然后用营销策略确立你的个人品牌,比如:
1. 身份-你希望自己以什么形式为人所知呢?你最擅长什么?
2. 定位-以下三点供参考
a. 目标受众:你写给谁看?
b. 参考对象:跟你写一样的话题,又能吸引到你的是谁呢?你是否已经在其他社交平台上找到并关注他们了呢?
c. 差异化:为什么你是不同的?为什么别人要来看你的博客?
3. 观点-你打算写什么主题?你怎样让你的内容有趣又吸引人?
4. 宣传-你怎么让别人知道你写了博客呢?你怎么传播你的文字?
以上问题,一旦你能给出让自己都满意的答案,那么就要开始准备尽可能详尽的你想写的话题。推荐访问www.alltop.com,可以在以下标题找到各种不同的类目:工作,健康,文化,科技,兴趣,人物,新闻,地理,运动,我肯定你不愁找不到话题
我建议从以下博客话题入手:
1. 你欣赏的人
2. 你旅行的地方
3. 你的人生哲学
4. 你的影评
5. 从不同的杂志报刊看到的文章及你的见解
6. 对热点新闻的评论
7. 对你读过的书发表观点
8. 你对不同科技的看法
9. 你所在行业的问题,事件,趋势
10. 对有关你感兴趣的话题的博客表达看法

Today, tens of thousands of people are considering starting a home based business, and for good reasons. On average, people can expect to have two and three careers during their work life. Those leaving one career often think about their second or third career move being to their own home. People who have been part of the traditional nine-to-five work force and are on the verge of retiring from that life are thinking of what to do next. The good news: Starting a homebased business is within the reach of almost anyone who wants to take a risk and work hard.
如今,成千上万的人考虑在家创业,当然理由相当充分。一般人在工作生涯中会有两到三份职业。那些从一份职业生涯离开的人会考虑在家里做第二份或第三份职业。曾经过着朝九晚五生活并即将退休的人也会考虑接下来该干些什么。好消息是,几乎每个想冒险又能努力工作的人都可以在家创业。
$1,500 or less to start up
1. ACCOUNTANT
Experience, training or licensing may be needed
Create a flier outlining your services. Before you do that, you need to know what those services will be. Do you want to simply do bookkeeping for a small business? A more involved level of accounting would be do actually work up balance sheets, income statements, and other financial reports on a monthly, quarterly, and/or annual basis, depending on the needs of the business. Other specializations can include tax accounting, a huge area of potential work. Service companies like Due.com assisted freelancers with payments. Many owners don't mind keeping their own day-to-day bookkeeping records but would rather get professional help with their taxes.
10000块或更少的起步资金
会计
可能需要经验,培训和执照
做个宣传页介绍你的服务。在此之前,你自己得知道都是些什么服务。你就只想给个小公司记记账么?更深入的财务参与是根据公司需求制作月度/季度/年度资产负债表和其他收入报表。其他专业性的东西包括税务会计,潜在的工作内容更多。像Due.com这样提供服务的公司会有偿帮助自由职业者。许多物主不介意自己每天记账,但也是希望他们的税务问题能得到更专业的帮助的。

2. BICYCLE REPAIR
修自行车
In many parts of the country, this business tends to be seasonal, but you can find ways around that. Rent a storage unit and offer to store people's bicycles over the winter after you do a tune-up and any needed repairs on them. If you want to cater to the Lance Armstrong wannabes, you can have business all year round. These road race riders are training through snow, sleet and dark of night. Some of them work on their own bicycles, but many of them don't, so you can get their business all year. And if you keep Saturday shop hours, you can be sure you will have a group of enthusiasts coming by to talk all things cycling.
这生意在全国很多地方都是季节性的,但是你总能找出办法。租个仓库单间,做好必要的维修工作后还能提供冬天存车服务。如果你想迎合兰斯·阿姆斯特朗的超级崇拜者,你全年都能有生意。这些赛车车手在下雪天,雨雪天和夜里训练。有些人用自己的车训练,但有些不是,所以你整年都可以做他们的生意。并且如果你周六营业的话,保证有一群热情洋溢的人过来跟你聊自行车的天南地北。

3. BOAT CLEANING
Experience, training or licensing may be needed
Boats that are hauled out of the water for the winter or even just for mid-season repairs will need the hull cleaned. And depending on the type of boat, it is a good time to give a major cleaning everything else too--the decks, the sleeping quarters, the head, and the holds. Start by approaching homes that have a boat sitting in the yard. Or you could market your services to the marina to contract you to do the boat cleaning it offers to customers.
3. 洗船
可能需要经验,培训或执照
那些冬天从水里拖出来的船或只是季中维修的船会需要清洗船壳。除此之外,这也是个大清洗的好机,甲板,睡眠区,船头和船舱,当然要视不同类型的船而定。你可以从那些庭院里放着船的家庭入手,或者到有提供洗船服务的船舶停靠港推销你的服务,让他们与你签合同。
4. BUSINESS PLAN SERVICE
Has expansion possibilities
Offer a soup-to-nuts business plan, including market research, the business plan narrative and the financial statements. Plan your fee around the main one that the client will want and offer the others as add-on services. You can give clients an electronic file and allow them to take it from there, or you can keep the business plan on file and offer the service of tweaking it whenever necessary. Have business plan samples to show clients--and make sure to include your own!
4. 商务计划服务
具有扩展的可能性
提供一个详尽的商务计划,包括市场调查,商务计划陈述和财务报表。预算主要集中在客户感兴趣的项目,其他的就作为附加服务。你可以给客户一份电子文档让他们自行获取,或者你也可以存档,任何必要情况下做小小的改进。给客户看商务计划样本——一切记你自己的也要在里面!
Tips:
everything from soup to nuts
Everything是所有东西的意思。Soup是指喝的汤,nuts是指乾果,如花生、核桃等。从字面上来翻译,everything from soup to nuts它的意思就是:从汤到乾果,什么都有。作为俗语,它的意思也就是:什么都有,但并不一定是指吃的东西。那末,soup to nuts是指什么呢? 大约一百年以前,美国人每顿饭吃的东西种类要比现在多的多。那时候,到一家高级饭馆去吃一顿饭就可能有七八道菜。首先是喝汤,在正餐前还要吃一点鲜蚝,然后是鱼、鸡等几种肉做的菜,还有蔬菜,糕饼,最后还有奶酪,水果和一碗乾果。Soup to nuts就是从这儿来的。可是,像这种吃法早就过时了。美国人现在非常注意不要吃太多脂肪和含胆固醇很高的食品。然而,everything from soup to nuts这个俗语至今还很流行,但是它已经不是指食品,而是什么都有的意思。

5. CHIMNEY SWEEP
清理壁炉
Learning to be a chimney sweep may mean nothing more than apprenticing with someone already in the business. By becoming a chimney expert, you can combine a chimney sweep business with a chimney inspection service--covering more than just whether or not the chimney needs cleaning but whether the chimney is in good working order or in need of repair.
成为壁炉清洁员不过意味着成为已经在这个领域里人的学徒。成为一个壁炉专家,你可以把壁炉清洁和壁炉检查服务结合起来——不局限于只是查看壁炉是否需要打扫,还要确认壁炉是否在正常运转状态中或是否需要维修
6. CLEANING SERVICE
打扫服务
There are many directions you can take this business. If you want to work during hours when no one else does, you can focus on office clients. You can focus on retail businesses and keep your customers clumped into one or two blocks. Restaurants are in great need of daily thorough cleaning and can be a great source of steady clients. Perhaps you would be more interested in house cleaning. Many times with cleaning services you don't have to spend lots of money on advertising or marketing because your customers will come by word of mouth.
你有很多渠道可以找到这个业务。如果你想在其他人都不工作的时候工作,那就把客户集中在办公室员工里。你可以主攻零售行业,把你的客户集中在一两个街区里。餐馆对每天的彻底清扫的需求非常大,或许也能成为你稳定客户的来源。或许你对家庭清扫更感兴趣。你不用为多次的清扫服务打广告或推广花很多钱,因为你的客户就会口口相传了。

7. COMPUTER REPAIR
Experience, training or licensing may be needed
电脑维修
可能需要经验,培训或执照
Study the main types of software that system users will want--word processing, photo manipulation software, mail merge, spreadsheet, design and especially security software. Investigate all the components--monitor types in all their varieties; keyboards, from wired to ergonomic to wireless; mouse types; as well as peripheral components like printers and scanners. Become completely familiar with all the ISPs (internet service providers) available in the market area you plan to cover. Establish yourself as the guru who can meet the needs of the personal computer user, the small business or a larger corporation.
研究系统使用者可能会需要的主流软件:办公室软件,图片处理软件,邮箱客户端,电子制表软件,设计尤其是安全软件。调查每个配件——不同的主机类型;键盘,从有线到符合人体工程学到无线;同样还有外部设备比如打印机和扫描机。要完全熟悉你计划覆盖的市场中已有的互联网服务提供商。建立个人形象,你是专家,你能满足个人用户,小商家或一个大企业的需求。
8. CONSULTANT
Has expansion possibilities
顾问
具有拓展的可能性
To be a consultant, you need to have an expertise in something so you can market yourself as an advisor to others looking to work in that area. Perhaps you managed several large warehouses in your career with a drugstore company, you did all the marketing for many years for a large shoe manufacturer or you set up a chain of beauty supply shops or take-out restaurants. You can use this experience to help others do similar things without making the same mistakes that you made along the way.
想成为一个顾问,你必须在某个领域是个专家,这样你才能向这个领域里有需求的人营销自己,成为他们的顾问。或许在你的职业生涯中你为一个医药公司经营过几个大型仓库,你好几年为一家大鞋子制造商策划所有的营销活动,或者你办过一个连锁美容用品店或一家外卖餐馆。你可以用这经验去帮助那些做同样事情的人,使他们不用范你曾经犯过的错误

9. DOG WALKING
Experience, training, or licensing may be needed
遛狗
可能需要经验,培训或执照
Dog walkers take pooches out for their daily constitutional one or more times a day, either individually or in small groups. In some cities across the United States, like New York, dog walking alone can be a booming business. But it's actually more common for dog walkers to offer additional services, including playing with and feeding pets, bringing in newspapers and mail, and turning lights on and off.
遛狗员把狗狗带出去进行每天的保健性散货或多次散步,要么是一个人,要么跟一小伙人一起。美国的一些城市中比如纽约,单独遛狗可以说是个朝阳产业。但对于遛狗员而言更普遍的是提供额外服务,包括和狗狗玩耍,喂食,取报纸邮件和开关灯。
10. EBAY ASSISTANT
eBay助理
Do you have items lurking around your household that you could sell on eBay? Figure out your asking price and decide whether to auction it or put it in your eBay store. Then decide if you want a minimum bid and how long you want the auction to last. You will want to establish a PayPal account to use for transactions. The eBay website provides all the information you need to know to get up and running with an eBay business. Chatbots are offering creative new ways to help businesses with these functions.
你家四周是否有什么可以在eBay上卖的东西?算下你的报价,决定是进行拍卖还是把它放到你的eBay店铺里。然后决定下你是否想定个最低投标以及你想让这个拍卖持续多久?你会需要一个贝宝账户用于交易。eBay网上有所有你起步和经营eBay业务所需的资料。Chatbots会根据这些功能提供有创意的新方法来帮助业务。

12. ELECTRONICS REPAIR
Has expansion possibilities
电子产品维修
有拓展可能性
This business is similar to the computer repair business, but you will take on all sorts of electronic equipment besides just computers. With smaller electronics, you will need to be prepared to have customers bring their repair projects to you, as you would have difficulty recovering the cost of driving around picking up broken equipment and returning it. You may also want to encourage people to give you their old electronics so you can use them for parts.
这个业务跟电脑维修差不多,但是除了电脑,你还要了解其他所有电子设备。因为电子产品比较小,你就需要客户自己把他们需要维修的东西带来给你,不然你开车四处去取坏掉的机器又送回去的路费成本就太高了。或许你也可以鼓励人们把他们的旧电子产品送给你,那你就可以用它们做配件用了。
13. EVENT PLANNING
Has expansion possibilities
活动策划
有拓展可能性
One of the first things you need to do is visit every potential event location with which you plan to work. Work with the marketing manager to tour each site and learn what is available at each location. Start a database that will allow you to sort venues by varying features--the number of people each site holds, if there is AV equipment available on site, will you need to arrange for rental chairs, etc. Then when you are beginning to plan an event with a client, you can find out what the key parameters are for the event and easily pull up the three or four sites that meet the basic criteria. and engagement parties, etc.
你第一件要做的事就是到每一个有可能举办活动并且你计划去工作的地方拜访。去每个地方都跟市场经理沟通下,了解下每个地方有什么。建个数据库会帮你区分出会场的变体:每个地方能容纳多少人,是否有视听设备,你是否要准备可租赁的椅子等等。然后当你要跟一个客户开始计划时,你就会明白组织一场活动的关键因素是什么,并且轻而易举地在三四个符合基本条件的地方办活动,或组织订婚派对

14. EXPERT WITNESS SERVICE
Experience, training or licensing may be needed
专业证人服务
可能需要经验培训或执照
One way to make money in this field is by being an expert witness yourself. If you have an expertise that could be useful in legal cases, you can market yourself to attorneys to act as an expert witness. Another way to be active in the expert witness field is to play a sort of matchmaker, matching attorneys up with expert witnesses for their cases--either for the defense or for the prosecution. Expert witnesses for big money cases can be expected to fly anywhere to testify. There's no reason your database of witnesses can't be from all parts of the country.
在这个领域赚钱的方式之一是你自己成为一个专业证人。如果你有某种专业技能可以在司法诉讼中使用,那就可以向律师营销自己作为他们的专业证人。另外一种活跃在专业证人领域的方式就是成为中间人,替被告或控方把律师和专业证人匹配起来。大案子的专业证人有需要飞到各地做证明。没有理由你证词的数据不能来自于全国各地。
15. FINANCIAL PLANNER
Experience, training or licensing may be needed
理财规划师
可能需要经验,培训或执照
To start, you should go through the certification process so that you can label yourself a CFP (Certified Financial Planner). Your certificate shows that you have expertise and credibility, and this differentiation will help people choose you as their financial planner.
一开始你应该要经过认证你才能给自己贴上注册理财规划师的标签。你的证书表面你有专业技能并且可信任。这种差异化会帮助人们选你作为他们的理财规划师
16. FLEA MARKET
Has expansion possibilities
跳蚤市场
具有拓展的可能性
People love to spend weekends rummaging through tables full of other people's unwanted items, looking for treasures. Make sure to change your layout and put new stuff out for sale often. You want people to come back time and again to see what's new. You don't even have to have that much new stuff to make things look new. Just moving an item from a table to the top of a bookshelf might get it noticed, even though the item has been in your inventory since you first started having sales.
人们喜欢花周末的时间在桌子上翻找别人不要的东西,找好东西。确保改变下你的布局,经常把新东西拿出来卖。你想要让人们经常回来看看有什么新东西。你甚至不需要有那么多的新东西让这一切看起来很新,只需要把一个东西从桌子上移到书架顶上就可以让人注意到,尽管从你第一次开始销售的时候这个东西已经在你的存货清单里了。
Tips
FINANCIAL PLANNER:理财规划师
rummage through:在...中翻找

17. GOLF COACH
Experience, training or licensing may be needed
高尔夫球教练
可能需要经验,培训或执照
Let the local public courses know about your coaching business. Cultivate relationships with the staff and encourage them to recommend you as a coach. Another place to look for customers is the corporate world. Golfing is a game that business people use to develop relationships outside the office. You do need to be a better than average golfer to develop a reputation as a golf coach. You also need to be a good teacher, know how to be motivational and be willing to work with many different types of people.
让本地的公开课负责人知道你从事培训业务。跟里面的员工处好关系,鼓励他们推荐你作为教练。另一个找客户的地方在公司企业。高尔夫是商务人士在工作之余用来建立关系的活动。你要有比一般人更好的水平才能建立起作为一个教练的名声。同时,你也得是个好老师,知道如何去激励学员,愿意和不同的人工作。
18. HOME ENERGY AUDITOR
Experience, training or licensing may be needed
家庭能源检查
可能需要经验,培训或执照
All homeowners are always on the lookout for ways to save on their utility bills. You can come to their aid by providing them with an audit of their house and giving them a breakdown of how they could accomplish real savings in heating, cooling and electrical use. You can go one step further and do the implementation and installation of some of your suggestions in their home yourself. Do a complete appliance audit, with efficiency ratings and calculations based on the age of the appliance. And don't forget the water heater!
所有的屋主都一直想要找到减少他们用电器账单的途径。你可以帮助他们,给他们的房子提供一次审核,细分他们如何能在取暖,制冷和电源使用上获得实质上的成本缩减。你还可以进一步,亲自在他们家里安装你建议的产品。根据电器的使用年限精确计算做一个完整的设备审核。当然不要忘记热水器!
19. HOME INSPECTION
Experience, training or licensing may be needed
验房
可能需要经验,培训或执照
In order to be successful, you will want to establish contacts with real estate agents who can recommend your services to customers. The home inspection field is one where you will need to do constant updating of your education and knowledge. New products are constantly coming out on the market--if you only know about decks made of wood, you will not know how to inspect and assess the new materials on the market, such as composites that are made to look like real wood. Also keep apprised of all safety updates of materials and issues with things like off-gassing, carbon monoxide production, and other chemical precautions.
想成功的话,你会想和房地产中介取得联系,他们可以把你的服务推荐给客户。验房领域需要你不断地更新自己的教育和知识背景。市场上不断出现新产品,如果你只知道屋顶是木头做的,你就没办法检验和评估市场上出现的新产品,比如看上去像真实木头的复合材料。同时,要了解所有安全性材料的更新,还有像废气,一氧化碳的排放,以及其他化学物质的预防等事情
Tips
apprise:通知,告诉
keep apprised of
off gassing:废气排放

20. HOUSEHOLD ORGANIZER
Has expansion possibilities
房子整理
具有拓展可能性
You can choose either to do the organizing work or to come in to a home and consult on the things the homeowner could do to better organize. Have a portfolio of different organizational scenarios in different rooms in the home and talk with the homeowner about the style he or she likes. Create checklists and questionnaires to understand how the family uses the home. Are the kids wildly busy with after-school activities? Or are they usually home after school and want access to their toys? Do they share rooms? All of these things will help you tailor an organizing plan and become the family hero.
你可以选择做组织工作或进到一户人家做顾问告诉他们如何更好的整理。准备一个文件夹,内有各种不同房间整理的情景介绍,跟房子的主人聊聊他或她喜欢的风格。准备下清单和问卷去了解这个家庭是如何使用他们的家的。他们的孩子是否有疯狂的课后活动?或者他们是否放学回家后直接想找他们的玩具?他们分享房间么?所有这些都将帮助你制定出一份整理计划成为这个家庭的英雄。
From Import/Export to Solar Energy
从进出口到太阳能
21. IMPORT/EXPORT SPECIALIST
进出口专家
Experience, training or licensing may be needed
可能需要经验,培训或执照
If you don't already have work experience with importing and/or exporting, you will have a longer learning curve. You can start by learning the basics and hosting educational sessions to teach others what they need to know to get started in import/export. That alone would probably gain you your first couple of clients. If you keep going with educational seminars and expand your reach to outside your immediate region, you could probably develop a sufficient and ongoing customer base very quickly, but be careful not to outpace your learning curve!
如果你还不具备进出口的工作经验,那你有更长的一段路要走。你可以通过打基础开始,并且举行一些培训讲习会教其他人进入进出口行业要了解些什么。仅此一件就可能让你获得第一批客户们。如果你坚持做培训讲习班并且拓展到你触手可及的领域之外,你可能会很快地就发展出足够的并不断增多的客户,但要小心不要超过你自己的学习节奏!

Market your talents to building contractors. People purchasing new homes can often be overwhelmed with the choices and possibilities in home decorating. Design some questionnaires for each major element and each major room in the house. Find out how the homeowner will use the home--are there children? Pets? Does the woman of the house wear high heels? Do the home's residents neglect to remove shoes? How will each room be used? Where might task lighting and ambient lighting be most appropriate?
想建筑承包商营销你的才华。买新房的人总是会被家装的各种选择和可能性淹没。为房子的每个主要房间的主要元素设计一些问卷。找出屋主会如何使用这个家——有孩子么?有宠物么?女主人是否穿高跟鞋?住在房子里的人是否忽略鞋子的摆放?每个房间如何使用呢?哪里装工作照明哪里装环境灯光最合适呢?
Tips:
task lighting:工作照明
