Question on blog May 10, 2021

Hi I’ve some 500 word blog posts to translate into English and am wondering what price to quote.
Any advice. The language is professional and will require some research.
Thanks

Ask yourself two questions: May 10, 2021

How long will it take you to translate each article (including research time, of course)? And how much do you want to earn per hour?

Answer these two questions and you will arrive at your rate – no matter whether you want to charge by word, by the hour, or by blog post.

And don't be too modest. Digital marketing agencies usually pay a lot better than translation agencies. Be realistic but don't undersell yourself.
