Selling AI Localization Services
Stop competing with a free API. Productise audits, terminology assets, tiering frameworks and QA retainers, and sell accountability for multilingual output.
Businesses have discovered they can machine-translate anything for almost nothing, and also that they cannot tell whether the output is safe to publish. That gap is the product. This course turns it into a service line you can invoice: a catalogue of nine productised services from the paid content audit that opens the door, through terminology asset builds and tiering frameworks, to the QA retainer that makes you part of their operation. You will learn the discovery questions that qualify a client and demonstrate expertise, how to price away from per-word so your income is not tied to volume machines made free, the AI-specific contract terms on process disclosure and data handling, and how to prove value with a log of the incidents your checks caught.
