What channels do freelance translators usually use to find customers?

Basically, you can choose different channels to find customers according to your work motivation, interest category, work nature and expectations for the future.

If you just want to earn some extra money and have enough ability, you can try to give priority to interpretation.

According to the specific work content and requirements, the income fluctuates greatly, ranging from tens of days to hundreds of hours. Generally speaking, it will be much higher than translation.

But it needs good listening and speaking ability, professional vocabulary and knowledge reserve, as well as memory, reaction ability and physical strength.

As far as translation is concerned, it can be roughly divided into three types:

Business translation

This kind of translation has the best income. English 100 words, small languages can increase by 50 ~ 100 per thousand words. Professional translation can reach several hundred yuan per thousand words.

However, there are also some translation companies that specialize in finding students to do some low-demand part-time jobs, and the salary is generally between 50,000 words and 60,000 words.

Outsourcing cases such as software localization are usually charged on a piece-by-piece basis. What I see on some SOHO websites seems to be mostly ranging from100 to $500.

Because this kind of translation work is usually of certain importance and involves contractual responsibilities, customers generally prefer experienced translators who can guarantee quality and punctuality. Or at least you have a way to prove that you have enough translation skills.

Book translation

This is the lowest income. As far as regular publishing houses are concerned, it generally ranges from 50,000 to 80,000 words. The payment cycle is long, ranging from a few months to a year.

Some informal publishing organizations may find students to do part-time jobs at a price of 30,000 to 50,000 words.
