Low-hanging fruit: Adjacent income streams for T&Is

Session will run from 2pm - 4pm BST

This workshop is designed to help translators and interpreters increase revenue potential while remaining connected to the work, values, and expertise that matter most to them.

Did you know that many translators today have more than one income stream – and that this is surprisingly easy to achieve? You don’t need to work nights, start up an exhausting “Saturday side hustle,” or change your identity as a language professional to start boosting your income. Instead, all you need is an honest inventory of your marketable skills and passions, a simple way to monetise them, and the courage to take the first step. This workshop covers a range of adjacent income streams you can start building immediately.

Why this webinar is relevant and timely

As AI and technology continues to reshape the language industry, many translators and interpreters are facing declining sales and increased competition. This workshop offers practical strategies to help you adapt, strengthen your business, and increase income, without abandoning the profession.

Description of workshop content

Rather than overwhelming you with endless ideas, this workshop focuses on real-world examples of language professionals who have successfully expanded into adjacent income streams. The session will explore the strategies behind these success stories and how you can adapt similar approaches to your own skills, interests, and professional goals. 

The session also provides dedicated space for brainstorming and developing practical income-stream ideas in a supportive, guided environment.

• Gain a clear understanding of which adjacent income streams are proving successful in 2026
