the question is, how do you get clients on fiverr? there's thousands of people all trying to do the same thing, so getting noticed seems almost impossible. i'm looking to transition from live playing to production, but it just seems futile to even put up a profile on there. what works? good reviews? a great portfolio? both of those, i guess...what else?
Great question, I’m in the same situation. I put in a ton of time and energy with the profile account set up, but I found I can’t compete at all with the guys charging $25 for mixing and mastering. That’s not worth waking up for, to spend hours editing and mixing a song for $25.
@@citytonightproductions are you competing with those guys though? if it was me, i'd avoid those guys. too cheap. i know if you want something decent, then you'll need to pay decent money. the question of what to charge is a difficult one to tackle, because it's as much about "perceived value" as it is "actual value". my wife, who is also a creative, wrestles with this issue all the time, but she has formulae to help her work out the "actual value" of her work. she knows some people who sold more when they raised their prices, because their "perceived value" went up. i think you need to charge what you're worth, otherwise it's just a race to the bottom. you won't do better by charging less, i guarantee it!
@@Simeon_Harris I fully agree and not competing with them at all. I know my worth and value and what I can deliver to clients. My prices seem to fit more in the middle to slightly higher than the Middle pricing wise. I just find there’s so many engineers and producers on there, how does one stand out? I’ve tried tweaking the profile endlessly, changing services offered. Everything under the sun. The real trick I would like to know is how do we direct traffic to our profile page, seems to be the hardest part.
Do the courses and get verified, That's my goal this year before I move out of the USA to Brazil for a few years, Then I can try and work from home and local studios while I learn Portuguese
I wish the video dove more into the business side of things. How his first month on Fiverrr was, how he changed his selling approach to get more clients, did he pay for promoted Fiverr placements, how many hours does he spend on average per song vs how much he gets paid, etc. The questions were more-so about him and his background, they don't really help fellow engineers or producers get insight into improving their business and making more money doing what they love in a practical or real way. Definitely respect the man and wish him the best going forward!
That is fair. We put this video together very last minute and didn't expect it to blow up, lol. Watch this video if you're interested in a more detailed breakdown of how to be successful on Fiverr: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZS-vdacQ-80.html Generally speaking, we're pretty open about everything so feel free to post any questions you may have and I'll do my best to answer them in a future video.
I'm a pro engineer with over 25 years experience and a great portfolio. My mixes got around 15 million listens in 2023. I made a fiver account a few years ago and still haven't gotten one gig. What's missing here???
this should have been titled a guide to being human, cause all the points he makes generally are super informative and reassuring (in work and general life aspects). i really hope for more of Taylor and Cory in front of the camera together. i feel like Taylor had a natural flow, dope video. awesome content, lets go boys!!
Wel the fact that he's Canadian helps. Lol. They are just nicer. Good for him though. This has become a huge industry. Crazy how 15-20 years ago you had to pay big $ just to cut a decent demo. I have a small bedroom studio and I'm making money on Spotify. It's crazy man.
people complain about proper orientation of studio monitors, This guy made 80k doing what he loves with Ns10's on their sides.........Just goes to show sometimes it's preference
Fairly certain these speakers were designed to work both ways. You gotta remember the ns10s were HIFI speakers meant for home use when they were introduced.
