Three Ways to Sell Translation Services

Zinn Hub gives you three — use one, two, or all three. Each one draws on the same translation skills, so a single body of work feeds three income streams.

ZinnsGig-style

List fixed-price translation packages by word count or document type — a 1,000-word article, a set of product descriptions, a contract, a website page. Buyers purchase at checkout, and if you have connected your own Stripe or PayPal account they pay you directly, with no payout run to wait for.

Micro Zinns$5–$20 tasters

Offer small fixed-price jobs at $5, $10, $15 or $20 — a single certificate, a menu, one page of app strings, a short subtitle file. A low-risk way for a new buyer to test your ear for their language, and a fast way to build a review history.

One skill set the translation work you already do
On Zinn Hub fixed-price Zinns, project bids & $5–$20 tasters

Same translation skills. Three earning paths.

Translation Services You Can Sell & Earn From

Every specialism below can be sold as a Zinn, offered as a Micro Zinn, bid on through Projects, or showcased on your Freelancer Directory profile.

Why Sell Translation Services on Zinn Hub?

Built for translators and localisers who want more than one route to a paying client — on a platform that is itself read in 45 languages.

Three Ways to Sell

Not just gigs. List translation Zinns, bid on Projects with free proposals, get hired from the Freelancer Directory, and offer Micro Zinns from $5. Three income streams, one account.

0% on Your First $500

0% commission on your first $500, then tiered rates that fall as you sell — as low as 7% on Agency Zinner. The full ladder, and both membership tiers, are published on the pricing page.

Get Paid at Checkout

Connect your own Stripe or PayPal account and buyers pay you directly at checkout, with no payout run to wait for. Prefer the safety net? Sell as a Platform Protected Zinner and Zinn Hub holds the payment until the order completes.

Buyers Pay No Platform Fee

Buyers pay no platform fee — the price they see is the price they pay. Nothing is added at checkout, so the number in your listing is the whole conversation.

Micro Zinns From $5

Micro Zinns are fixed-price services at $5, $10, $15 or $20. For translation they work especially well: one certificate, one menu or one page of app strings is a clean, scoped unit a buyer can order without a conversation. Browse $5 Micro Zinns to see how other Zinners scope them.

Your Brand, Your Storefront

Every Zinner gets a branded storefront — logo, banner, bio, portfolio and credentials — not a row in a list. Browse the Zinner directory to see how other sellers present their work.

45 Languages, 59 Currencies

Zinn Hub is available in 45 site languages, and there are 12 further languages you can be messaged in. Prices are stored and charged in USD, with an approximate equivalent shown in any of 59 display currencies.

Refunds Go to the Zinn Wallet

If an order is refunded, the money is credited to the buyer’s Zinn Wallet in full, in USD. There is no refund-to-card flow, and refunds are never taken in a currency other than the one the order was charged in.

Free Setup Help & Migration

Three guided wizards — Store Setup, Payment Setup and Zinn Creation — build your storefront, connect how you get paid and publish your first listing in about 15 minutes. Already selling elsewhere? The free Import My Services tool rebuilds an existing listing, or a whole profile, into ready-to-review Zinns.

Built into every Zinner account
Buyer Insights — know your buyers before you sell

Every Zinner gets Buyer Insights — a profile on the buyer behind an order, covering trust score, order history, spending patterns, rejection behaviour, refund rate and the requirements they submitted on past orders.

For translation work, where a buyer’s idea of “a quick check” can become a full retranslation, that history is worth reading before you accept. You can also leave yourself private notes on a buyer for next time.

How to Start Selling Translation Services

Three guided wizards get you selling in about 15 minutes. No upfront cost and no approval queue.

Store Setup Wizard

Sign up free on the Zinner registration page. The Store Setup Wizard builds your branded storefront — logo, banner, bio, language pairs, specialisms and sample work — so buyers can see what you translate and how well before they ever message you.

Payment Setup Wizard

Connect your own Stripe or PayPal account and buyers pay you directly at checkout, with no payout run to wait for. Prefer platform-protected payments instead? Zinn Hub holds the payment until the order completes and pays you from the payout queue.

Zinn Creation Wizard

Build your first listing with packages, pricing and delivery times — or start with a Micro Zinn from $5. Then switch on Projects bidding and publish your Freelancer Directory profile.

What Translation Work Typically Pays

Freelance translation is usually priced per word, per minute of audio or per document. These are indicative ranges from the wider freelance market, to help you set a starting price.

$0.03 – $0.08
Per word — General
Articles, product copy and everyday business documents
$0.08 – $0.15
Per word — Specialist
Legal, medical, technical and financial material
$0.15+

Sworn and certified work, transcreation and rare language pairs

These are typical market ranges for freelance translation, not Zinn Hub earnings and not a guarantee. What you can charge varies by language pair, subject matter and experience — you set your own prices, and every price on Zinn Hub is in USD. See the pricing page for how commission works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nothing upfront. Commission is 0% on your first $500, then tiered rates that fall as you sell — as low as 7% on Agency Zinner. The published ladder is: 0% up to $500 in lifetime sales; 20% to $2,500; 15% to $10,000; 13% to $15,000; 10% to $20,000; and 8% above $20,000. Two paid memberships replace the ladder with a flat rate — Pro Zinner at $25 a month is a flat 8%, and Agency Zinner at $50 a month is a flat 7%. Full detail is on the pricing page.

It depends which payment mode you choose in the Payment Setup Wizard. Zinners who connect their own Stripe or PayPal account are paid directly at checkout — the buyer pays your merchant account and there is no payout queue. Zinners on platform-protected payments are paid from the Zinn Hub payout run once the order completes; that run goes out weekly, on a Friday.

A Zinn is your own fixed-price listing that buyers purchase at checkout. A Project is posted by a buyer, and you submit a free proposal for it. A Micro Zinn is a small fixed-price task at $5, $10, $15 or $20. You can run all three from one account, and a Freelancer Directory profile lets buyers hire you directly on top.

Yes. Zinners are verified with government-issued photo ID and evidence of their skills and past work. Zinn Hub does not verify your country of residence, and there is no country or location filter in search — buyers find you by category, skill and the work in your portfolio.

Yes, and it is free. Paste an existing listing, or your whole public profile, into the Import My Services tool in your Zinner dashboard and it rebuilds it as ready-to-review Zinns — title, description, packages, FAQs and up to 10 of your reviews word for word. You preview and confirm before anything is submitted.

Yes. List it as its own package and be explicit about what the buyer receives — which authority or professional body your certification is recognised by, whether a signed statement or stamp is included, whether a scan or a posted hard copy is provided, and the turnaround. Certified work is bought on precision, so a package that spells out the deliverable converts far better than a general translation listing.

Zinn Hub is available in 45 site languages, and there are 12 further languages you can be messaged in — 57 in total for communication. All prices are stored and charged in USD; buyers can see an approximate equivalent in any of 59 display currencies. Buyers can pay with cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, bank transfer or 200+ cryptocurrencies.

Refunds are credited to the buyer’s Zinn Wallet in full, in USD — there is no refund-to-card flow. If you sell in platform-protected mode, Zinn Hub holds the payment until the order completes, so a dispute is settled before the money moves. A clear package scope and a written brief are still your best protection.
