Home Based Translation Service
Starting a business can be done without a big startup expense. One home based business you could probably start is a translation service. If you know one or more foreign languages, then you could start becoming a freelance translator.
You only need a computer, a modem, a fax machine, a phone and several dictionaires to start your business. Signup in freelance websites such as elance or search for “freelance” to get other sites where you could offer your services.
Most of the translation companies start small, and most are still running it in their homes. Check this out.
Full-time freelancers earned an average income of $51,848 in 1998, according to the ATA; part-timers earned $17,748. Those who have their own agencies can earn considerably more because they can charge clients higher rates-especially if they’re translating Asian languages, which are in high demand. But agency owners must then deal with the challenges of marketing and building a client list. - Pamela Rohland - Entrepreneur.com
The internet really changed the world. Even a small operation from some basement can have clients from different countries.
