joannart Posted April 9, 2017 Share Posted April 9, 2017 Hello Alessandra!I took a look at your gig description. It looks good, and you are on the right track. The only issue I had while reading it was that it got a little broken up at points.“My specializations include literary translations (do you have that e-book out there and want to reach more people? Here I am!), blog posts, journal articles, costumer support emails, handbooks and manuals.”^This part specifically. I had to re-read it to make sure you hadn’t listed only one ‘specializations’Here is how I would fix it:“My specializations include literary translations, e-books, blog posts, journal articles, costumer support emails, handbooks and manuals. Translations that I offer can help you reach more people!”Last part can use a little work too:“I’d love to hear from you, if you have questions don’t hesitate!”“Do not hesitate to message me about any questions you may have. I look forward to hearing from you!”I would also adjust the bullets for time length on how many words you can translate. Such as:"-700 words in only 24 HOURS!-5k words in 3 days!-10k words in just a week!(Message me for options for texts above 10k words.)"It’s all up to you if you listen to my advice or not. That’s just my two cents. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
