Fiverr seems to have lots of potential.
Wanted to ask you for your favorite fiverr gigs that helped you with your campaigns
Other than translation I've used fiverr for copywriting & sounds.
Please do share!
It may be me and my perfectionism issue, but
I always found Fiverr to be a waste of time
Ditto what dario said.
Fiverr - You get what you pay for...
Mostly translation services.
What I do is I send a piece of text (+- 500 words) to 2 different translators. After they send it back to me, I have them review each others work without them actually knowing each other.
This means the 2 variations have been reviewed by native speakers, so not to shaby if you ask me.
So that makes it 20 bucks for 500 words (0,04cent per word) for 2 text variations (2 different ways of saying the same thing).
5 bucks for a translation + 5 bucks for a review times 2
Extra tip:
-If you send out text for translation, always write each sentence down in a seperate row in excel with a number next to the sentence.
-Next give the translator the instruction to keep the sentences seperated in rows with the same number next to the translation.
This gives you the possibility to later change the order of the sentences when testing copy, or create entire new variatons of the copy by mixing and matching, and the text will still make sense.
Another great Fiverr resource are professional voice-overs and testimonial videos. You'll pay a fraction of the price for voice-overs and the videos on Fiverr.
Thanks for sharing dotcom and achrafha ! The translation tips are especially great!
Fiverr does have some remarkably good voice-over talent for the price. For some reason, female voiceover artists are particularly affordable on there, and I've found some very talented people.
Is it better than Voices.com? Depends. Voices.com lets you audition, so if you need something very specific it's probably better going there.
But if you just need some generic voiceover or you're not too picky about style, Fiverr can be a real bargain.
Don't rule it out for graphic design, either. There are some very talented designers on there if you're realistic about what you want. I don't usually just buy one gig for something like that - instead, I'll buy four, and out of those, usually one will be good. Still works out 5x cheaper than Elance and 10x cheaper than 99designs (where the quality can be truly godawful sometimes).
I use Fiverr for translations, probably not a very professional choice though.
