It was at the tender age of seven that Christian Amo the founder of the online
translation service Lingo24.com, put his first plan for making money into practice His
scheme was to buy penny chews and resell them to his schoolmates at £6 per packet
However, the venture came to an abrupt end when one of the mothers in his class found
out about it and deemed it ‘inappropriate’ Amo had to shut down immediately
His next opportunities came during the year he spent abroad in Italy as part of his
French and Italian course at Oxford He had a lot of free time on his hands, so he set up
a website offering translation services with a friend, Jos Shepherd Although they didn’t
make much money, the business gave both an insight into working online That same
year, Amo became financially more solvent when he sold some shares he had purchased
for a huge profit of £15,000
Back in Oxford, Amo finished his degree and decided to have another go at his online
translation idea He asked Shepherd to design a new website in return for a 20% stake in
the business and went on to bring Lingo24.com to clients from his own bedroom The
business was not an instant success due to Amo’s inexperience in Internet marketing
However, he worked hard and learnt fast, earning himself a reputation for speed and
accuracy After 18 months he had enough business to set up an office in New Zealand
so that he could offer clients a proper 24-hour service Soon after that, Amo had another
stroke of luck One of his large clients started spending £500,000 on translations, so he was able to invest in more sophisticated technology This brought in even more business and led to him opening yet more offices in China, Romania, and Panama
Lingo24.com now translates into and out of more than 100 languages, and this year they expect to make £4 million It has 100 full-time employees and more than 3,000 freelance translators The company nowadays is not cut out of the same cloth as the simple website Amo and Shepherd created in Italy, but that experience was invaluable

go with your instincts.’
