[A Poll for everyone! How did you learn English and what's your relationship with languages?]

I never found Duolingo as an useful resource. When I started to learn German, I found myself knowing vocabulary but having no idea of how to build a sentence to use it 😂 Duolingo is fine for vocabulary but nothing else. It's just my opinion, of course.

[A Poll for everyone! How did you learn English and what's your relationship with languages?]

Being in need is the best teacher you can have for almost everything. In my case, playing videogames only in English since I was a child helped a lot, because if I wanted to play them I needed to understand dialogues, descriptions, etc. Also, speaking with people who didn't speak Spanish was helpful. I used to participate in forums and webpages like Deviantart (aaah... the good times) and I found myself lacking the skills to comunicate as well as I do in my native language. So, once again, one hand on the computer and another one on the dictionary 😂 

 

Having fun and being motivated is a must. If you take it as a game, then learning will be easier. 

[Music for work]

I have different music lists on spotify depending on the mood I need. Sometimes I am too anxious for any reason, so here I go with celtic or chill out music. Sometimes, I need a bit of enery, so I use my heavy metal or postpunk list. But, to be honest, music is mainly for a good walk or doing stuff out of home. At work, I prefer podcasts and radio. I am madly in love of podcasts, I even colaborate on one. I can spend 6 hours listening to a group of people analyzing and talking about a netflix serie and feeling surrounded by some kind of friendly company while working. 

(In case you have a fav podcast to share, I'm all ears XD)

[This is my only employment, and it just started. How can I increase my gig impression and clicks so that I may get more orders on Fiver?]

I see your attachment and I am disappointed, because lots of clicks on your gig but never a single sell generated. every 5 clicks equal 1 sell it's a ratio. So don't focus on impression and click, focus on your gig description and your service. if knock on a buyer, try to convince him/her and try to show your skills.

I saw on my first gig (well, I'm new here, this is my second day) 40 previews, only 2 clicks, 0 sells. Is it normal? Where can I see an article talking about rations and all? There are a lot of information on fiverr and I am still getting used to it, there's a lot to read 😂 (though it's super funny and interesting to do) Thanks!

Well, if it's working for you, then it's great! But you should be careful about these👇 kind of buyers who will lower your gig rank (or something like that)

 

 I hope soon you'll start getting the real worth of your art 🌸

 

Ugh, that's a bit scary though I'm afraid you are right. By now, I can only cross my fingers. Thanks a lot for your help 😁

[Is it a good strategy to start cheap]

From what I read before joining, the recomendation was starting cheap, yes, and increase prices little by little. I don't know if that's best, but it seems it's something common in Fiverr, like some kind of unspoken rule. 

 

In my case, my first gig is something easy. This way I feel fair charging a lower price for this service.
