As a translator, it can be tough convincing new agencies to take you on. Follow this video for tips to improve your response rate when pitching to agencies.
There are still firms out there that pay well, but you have to dig a little harder to find them. Are you currently finding this issue with European agencies?
@@markhemming This issue is everywhere. Specially when they figure you are based in Southeast Asia. Instead of paying more because we deal with rare languages, they mean to pay less as they suppose we need less money to live on. It is very common to receive offers of $0.015 - $0.030 to translate and less than that to do MTPE.
Thank you!
Do what you like... they will hire the one taking $ 0.015 per word.
