I know this will confuse clients even more, but I would like to see the following options added to the job posting template in the Writing & Translation category (in addition to the "hourly" and "fixed-price" options):
- per-page price,
- per-word price,
the reason being that I am getting fed up with having to field questions from clients advertising for "$10-25 hourly" who then turn up to ask for my per-word price.
Most clients are incapable of looking up average words per minute translated or minimum wages in a country, so I think we should help them declare outright what they are willing to pay.
