Work as a freelance translator and create your
own career!

  corporate company, make your own mark as a
  freelance translator. Decide when you wish to
  work, how much you want to work. Use your
  Portuguese Translation skills to your benefit.

• Translation is an interesting job. It is not
  necessary that you have to be a part of a
  corporate organization in order to make your
  mark. You can work as a freelancer as well. The
  world of freelancing is slowly but surely gaining
  momentum. You can work as per your convenience
  and comfort. Today we will be discussing, the
  different benefits of working as a freelance
  translator.

Flexible to the core

• The first thing that will come to your mind
  the moment you think of freelance jobs is the
  flexibility it offers. You are free to work
  anytime you work. There is no one to monitor you
  or pressurize you to work. You will be told what
  the client is looking for and the deadline within
  which the work needs to be submitted. Once you
  get this information, you can work as per your
  comfort. You can finish off the work within a day
  and ask more volume of work or you can take your
  time and complete the work. It is entirely up to
  you as to how you will work. As long as you are
  delivering the work within the deadline, the
  client is happy.

You are your own boss

• Another interesting factor about freelance
  translating jobs is that you can decide on the
  volume of work. If you dont want to work too
  much in a particular month and have planned a
  vacation, then just inform your clients the dates
  on which you will not be available. Once you
  return, contact them again and start working as
  per the schedule.

5
No fixed remuneration you decide what you want?

• You get to decide what your remuneration will
  be. You can earn 5000 a month or 50000 a month.
  It depends on the kind of project that you have
  selected, the volume of work and the rate that
  you are charging for your translation work. The
  rate generally varies depending on the language
  on which you are translating.

Portuguese Translation has a different rate,
while Spanish translation has a different rate
and so on.

• Certification enhances your potential
• Try to get a certificate on the language on
  which you are offering translation services.
  There are many courses out there from which you
  can take your pick. The certificate acts as an
  added advantage that you are offering skilled
  translation services. In fact you can also
  increase the rate charged for each project on the
  basis of your translation certificate.

• So what are you waiting for? Instead of
  working for 9 to 5 in a corporate organization,
  be your own boss and work as much as you like. In
  the long run, you can set up your own company as
  well.
