    The Blog "ALT Insider" has a great article on how to get into translating or checking English texts. James has been freelancing full time for a while now.

    This is not specific to Japan but I would start by getting a profile at proZ and translators cafe. Having your own business card might be helpful as well.

    I saw a website called gengo.com. The pay isn't that good (from what I was told), but can be a place to start.

    Be careful of scams though! I recently have been getting some suspicious "translation requests" by email. It's suspicious because I haven't registered as a translator of any sort anywhere on the Internet. They'll ask for the usual scam stuff "in order to pay you," like your bank account info, address, etc.
