Vantaggi
*ServiceScape's translation services site used to be called LanguageScape. That's when I first started working as a translator there, about six or seven years ago. The site appealed to me because it is mid-size among the different freelance sites. It's not too big that you get lost in the crowd, yet not too small that there is no money to be made. The company has been around for close to two decades, so I feel comfortable with their security and stability. I had a negative experience with a newer site that makes me more cautious about where I work. *Clients choose you so there are no complicated procedures to follow or bidding. The site is efficient for both professionals and clients. I message the clients with instructions on how to use the service if they need any assistance. They can hire me directly from my profile page by clicking on the Hire Me button and they don't need to wait for the site to find a translator who can handle their project. *Some translation services companies have minimums for transactions which can be frustrating for clients who want a less than one page/short document translated. There are no minimums here, so clients aren't deterred and I receive more business. Clients submit projects of all lengths, and the smaller ones do really add up. *Admins reply to my questions quickly by email or live chat which is key for time-sensitive projects or matters. Everything is taken care of by the site so translators don't have to worry about any administrative responsibilities. Overall, I'm pleased with the site and how much money I have earned over last 6-7 years.
Svantaggi
There is more demand for certain languages than others so different translators' earnings will vary.
