I TRANSLATED ON FIVERR FOR A WEEK AND MADE $___! (Freelance Translator)

[@adrifairdroid4287]

Such a concrete example and so insightful. Id love to see more on what you can do as a translator or other type of freelancer on these types of platforms, and if there are any more tips&tricks to follow for success on these sites!

[@Freelanceverse]

Thanks so much for the positive comment :) will make more videos on the topic for sure

[@mohammedabdallah8154]

It would be absolutely amazing if you make a video about the different types of files a translator faces and how to deal with them and the types of files that need CAT tools for example.

[@deelovesmusic5608]

I'm so happy to have come across your channel! I have decided to embark on this path and want to start translating from English to Spanish and vise-versa and from Italian and French to either English or Spanish. So I think I will actually do what you invite us to do: to translate your video for practice! Thank you :)

This website should have the option to report sellers for devaluating jobs. I wanted to try background removal, usually prices start in $5 US dollars for 15-20 images. Today I saw someone offering 100 images for the same low price and he's got more than a thousand votes. Idiots like that ruin it for everyone else. Also, they're giving away their time for such a low price

[@Freelanceverse]

:(

[@JoelTheAlien]

These are people that normally have a very devalued coin like Venezuela or India and yeah it ruins it definitely for people like us that earn in dollars (I'm from Ecuador) and besides my country is a third world country imagine when people want to pay me $5 (and the 20% discount for each Fiverr sales ruins it even more so $4) Horrible in every way! But I made my way to the top and I'm a level two seller now! n.n and I charge very nice amounts for my knowledge

Hi Adrian, I discovered your channel when looking for resources for freelance translators on KZbin. I've watched a few and they are very helpful! For people like me, who just started out in the field and still have a lot to learn, your channel almost covers every aspect of the job, with knowledgeable insights, tips and best of all, your videos are quick to the point, so I don't feel overwhelmed by information and the steps are easy to follow. So I just want to say a Big thank you for you spending valuable time building a valuable information/resource hub for translators around the world. If I ask you questions here, would you be able to email me the answer, or everything will be seen as public comments? Again thank you, I've subscribed and will check out more of your videos!

Hi Chris, no it was suspended shortly after because I didn't use it enough.

[@tombomb00s]

This was very informative and helpful. To put the prices into perspective though, where I live there are MANY digital nomad types doing this sort of work where rent is about 300 euro a month and other costs are trivial. I imagine setting low prices might seem like a race to the bottom for those living in developed countries, but for those of us who have chosen cheap tropical paradises it means a guaranteed comfortable standard of living.

[@Freelanceverse]

Hi Thomas, yes, absolutely, location matters a lot. Still though, people tend to be happy and settle for very little money just because "they don't need more where they live". In my opinion, this shouldn't be the goal of a professional career. By saying this, you basically allow the client to dump prices which harms the whole market. What's wrong with charging more even than you actually need ;) It's not only a race to the bottom for people in developed countries, if we all keep a nice standard and don't work for peanuts, we all live better.

Based on this video was 3 years I would like to know how was feever before, and how it is today in 2024. However, I have a question, after you first sell on Feveer, how many time you had to wait for getting the pay from Feever and how you get that in your local money?

[@Freelanceverse]

Honestly, I worked this one week on Fiverr 3 years ago and then never again lol! So I can't really tell you how it has evolved. I never even received the money that I made in this week, because you need to receive a certain amount to reach the treshhold for payment. I definitely wouldn't recommend working on there.

[@Freelanceverse]

Yes put writing and education and then just put 1 year experience as you're in your first year now. As for certificates, since you probably don't have any expertise yet in another domain (assuming based on your age), I'd suggest you take an online course first, doesn't have to be long and in detail, it's more for the certificate. Maybe check coursera or udemy. Pick one with a good title and then add this for your certification.

[@Freelanceverse]

Hi, thanks so much for your comment. Yes, of course, you can always try. When the client is really not happy, it is possible that he or she will request the money back and give you a negative rating. Once you receive a negative rating, it will be very tough to find new clients.
