The Idea
A hub to connect professional document translators and phone interpreters to their customers, providing a complete billing and technology infrastructure. The main difference between this service and other existing services is that translators and phone interpreters will set their own rates. This could allow the customer to find much better rates compared to systems such as http://languageline.com, which charges a flat rate of $3.95/min. The pricing will have a fixed "system fee" of something like 15 cents/min which will be the main revenue source of the company. The interpreter fee will go directly from the customer to the interpreter. Any long distance fees will be added without any markup, but the customer will be encouraged to use VoIP to avoid paying those. The system will also have an affiliate program, where part of the system fee will get paid out to the affiliate that referred the customer.
I thought of this idea when I was...
