I think it’s important to understand how a YouTube channel makes money in order to understand our role as translators and how we facilitate their growth and income. They also tend to start growing faster at this point so they’re hungrier for more. I would personally recommend looking for larger channels, those with between 100,000 and 500,000 channels are good options because that’s usually where they start receiving more offers for sponsorships and affiliate deals. When they trust you, they’ll come to you for paid help. We hear that a lot, but what it means is that we want to be a benefit for those around us, to make their lives easier. Talk to them, learn about them, and subtlety offer your services – like in your forum signature. You could even offer a discount to all the channels in the MCN and become their preferred translator – thousands of clients! Again, all of this is intended to build relationships with your clients. Another option is to create your own channel and join a Multi-Channel Network (MCN) so that you can have access to creator forums. I personally joined a few Facebook groups and find a project or two a week, but they’re small channels with small budgets. Now, for smaller channels, the best bet is to find them and talk to them as a group. They’ll say yes, but it’s a good idea to ask. You can sometimes put a little snippet at the end of the video or description saying something like “Spanish translation provided by Triston Goodwin ” – just make sure it’s ok with the channel owner first. What normally happens on YouTube when someone translates one of your videos is that you receive a notification saying, “this person just translated your subtitles” and they ask you to confirm the translation before it goes live. Here’s another reply to a question about how to find paid work translating on YouTube that turned into a long response (can you tell that get paid per word?).
