Would like to know if a rate of $0.02 is, as I think, low; it is an ongoing project, so maybe since it is large- to start with 100K(whatever that means) and project will probably for 2 years.

100K means 100,000 words. With an average of 2500 words per day, it would take 40 full days of work. 40 business days is 8 weeks, in other words, 2 months. $0.02 per word would bring us to $2000. What do you think of getting $2000 as a payment for 2 month of full-time work? (With no benefits, no insurance, and remember, it is gross payment, you have to pay taxes on it.)
Hmmm?

Let's imagine
Nov 28, 2012
that current monthly salary of a teacher is something like 2000 currency units. Let's imagine that you are a teacher.
Would you accept the offer to work in some school for 500 currency units monthly based on the promise that you will be employed for 30 years?

Way too low rate
Nov 28, 2012
I think this is really too low, even for a very easy source text!
In my opinion, the problem is that it is a huge project, so basically you won't be available for weeks because of this underpaid project, and if an other agency/customer contacts you, you would lose a good offer (or at least a better offer than this one) and therefore lose a lot of money in the end.

extremely low rate
Nov 29, 2012
Is this a translation project? IF so the rate is VERY low. I would not even think about accepting it.
If it is for proofreading then yes, I have heard that it is a common rate for simple proofreading projects.
