HOW TO NEGOTIATE A DECENT RATE (Freelance Translator)
In this week's video, I share my tips on how to be a better negotiator. It's a very daunting and difficult task that you will learn and improve in on the job, but I hope this video gives you a few pointers that will help you.
Disclaimer
Please note that the Auto Translate function by KZread provides translations of very poor quality and I suggest to only use it very sparingly. I always offer people to subtitle the videos into their native language if they want to build up a portfolio. In that case, drop me a message to:

Hello Adrian, thank you very much for this video. It's a good topic.
I also conduct most of my bussines through email, so I can relate. Thanks for the recommendations, they seem pretty useful and I will make sure to try them out!

Thanks SO much for this video, Adrian!! Super helpful for both newbies and more experienced translators! I also love what you said about building that human connection with agencies/ clients... A bit of friendly chit-chat goes a long way in building those relationships and making work life more pleasant for both the translator and the PM/ client :) Thank you!!

Glad you liked it! I really do think so, yes. I feel much more comfortable to ask for favours, also for recommendations or testimonials for example, of clients that I have a good human connection with.

@@Freelanceverse Totally! Thanks for drawing attention to this aspect of the freelancing life :)
Hello, I'm Luis from Brazil and I speak English and I am considering starting translating freelancing, but I don't know how to start. I found your channel yesterday and it seems really good and full of quality content!! I'm still 17 and I don't know how I could start on the industry, as I don't have any certificates or money to buy paid certifications. How should I start? Thank you for your channel it's sincerely really amazing!

Hi Adrian I'm from Nairobi Kenya and I speak English and somali so my question is somali in demand
What about agencies? Ir I raise my rate they start working with those who offer lower rates

Yes that is the case for many agencies, not all though. The ones I work with will rather overlay the extra charge to the end client than focus on profit maximizatiom
