5. Online Translator
Many of us can speak at least 2 different languages, and it’s a shame when that talent is not put to a good use.
Working as an online translator opens a lot of possibilities for work-at-home jobs, such as interpretation, online tutoring, bilingual call centers, translation jobs and much, much more.
A large number of translation jobs are done by freelancers. Nonetheless, some companies still tend to hire home-based translators as full-time employees.
Experience in similar jobs is not mandatory, but it is highly recommended. If you have no experience at all, then you should actually start working for next to nothing or for free and have your documents proofread so that you can learn how to actually translate before you try doing it professionally.
Also, the language combination is very important – you may be able to charge more for a language that is more in demand, or need to be more competitive if you have a common language combination.
In case you are wondering “how does someone actually price their translations,” read on. There are several methods of charging for your work as a translator. There is the charge-by-the-word version, or you can set a price on one hour of your work – it’s all up to you.
