This week more than ever, feel free to connect on LinkedIn and drop me a message: *Adrian Probst* :)
sorry for the abrupt ending :D don't know what happened there...
Great work as usual. Your linkedIn profile was actually one of my main inspirations as I was customizing my own one few months ago :)
Thanks for the feedback, Antoine! Glad my profile could be of help :)
Such an underrated channel. Thanks for your genuineness, Adrian! I've been losing sleep watching your videos LOL
Haha thanks so much! But please remember to get enough sleep😅
Dankeschön! war super hilfreich für mein eigenes Profil! :)
Very useful advices, I used them to update my LinkedIn's profile!
Great, thanks, Rita! Glad you found it useful.
Hey found this video very helpful
Thank you so much 😊
When he uploads you know It always very informative and helpful
Thanks a lot 🤗💙
Spanish Subtitles by *Daniel Díaz* :) thank you so much!
Thank you, waiting for the next video about LinkedIn
What else would you like to see/hear? :) will gladly talk about this again.
very useful, thank you very much! ❤❤
Glad it was helpful! Soon it's time for an update, this video is so old :D
Great video! Question: How did you get the direct url to your website (outside of the Contact Info link) to show between the location/contact info and contacts/followers lines on your current LinkedIn profile? I've been trying to add this as well but cannot figure out where you added it to make it appear here. Is this a feature for premium members only or something?
Chinese Subtitles by *Mingzhu Wu* :) thank you so much!
Very clever decision to gently move away from translator to language service provider. Translation will be done more and more by AI. And one day, AI will master it. So it makes a lot of sense to allready now plan how to adapt to it.
Yes, 100% agree. It's definitely time to adapt or be eaten :D
@@Freelanceverse Would you be willing to make a video where you speak more in depth about how AI and technology are influencing your field and how you are adapting? As someone who is considering a career in translating/ editing/other language related services, I’m very curious to hear the perspective of someone currently working in the language services industry.
@@sallykowalski2035 Hi Sally, yes, that is planned for this spring. Just requires quite a lot of research, so it will take some more time to get that video out, but it will come eventually :D -Adrian
Language service provider?
I'm a translator but have occasionally done some writing with several of my articles published in major newspapers. I was wondering how to leverage my proven writing skills to find new translation/editing clients.

Thank you, very useful.
Thanks!
Portuguese Subtitles by *Nathalia Monge* :) thanks so much
You're welcome :)
Hi Adrian, thank you.

I'm an english and arabic fluent speaker, my native language is arabic but i assume I have a decent level in English. I'd like to know if there's a way I can get a translation job without experience nor being a freelancer or something, just thinking about it seriously and not really knowing where to start.
Hi Adrian, great video! Perhaps you've already made one and I just can't find it (sorry if that's the case!), but could you possibly make a video sometime talking about how to advertise yourself as a translator/freelancer, i.e. which name to trade under? I notice that you used 'fringe translations' along with your name on LinkedIn - do you recommend using a business name or your personal name? Hope that makes sense! Thanks :)
Hi Alex, I haven't made a video on that yet, but very good idea! I started with fringe, but then my domain got hacked and I had to restart and decided to trade now under my personal name. I don't think there is a big difference to be honest. Important is just that you buy a domain and make it your email so you don't do business with a hotmail or gmail etc. I haven't noticed any difference when trading under my personal name or a business name. Will plan a video about that for next season :)
Thank you for the explanation, that's really helpful! I look forward to watching the video in the new season 🙂

:) thank you so much
Thank you Adrian for the content. I'm facing a small issue. I'm a translator and I want to benefit from LinkedIn in that. But I'm also working as medical technician and I don't know how to join both career in LinkedIn. Please advice in that matter. Thank you once again
Hi Mohamed, you would work on both careers simultanuously? I would simply add both of them in your LinkedIn. There is not much ordering you can do in a profile. It will just have the standard look. If you plan to specialize as a translator in the medical technology field, then that would be the best link between the two of course.
Hello from New York City! Do you get inbound leads from LinkedIn? Do you do outbound outreach to market your services? Thank you for your informative video.
Yes to both :) I use LinkedIn as my main tool for inbounds and outbounds.
Hi Adrian, How do you add logos/pictures to the experience and education tabs; added the alma mater logo to the edu tab but can still see the gray avatar?
Hi there, the institution or company that you enter has to have a LinkedIn page. When you then add the school or company in one of your experience or education sections, LinkedIn will recognize it and suggest it as an autocomplete option. Then it shows the icon. If your school doesnt have a LinkedIn page, then it won't work I'm afraid.
@@Freelanceverse Appearently, not only does one's alma mater need to have a LinkedIn page (as mine did), but also you need to add it as "new education." It won't work otherwise. (It's not possible to update an existing education "card" to add an avatar/a logo). We don't know why.
Oh interesting, thanks for the tip!
Well, I think we have many things to learn 😅. Especially with recommendations.
I have put down the banner "open to work". I don't know why I put it in the first place 🤔
How is your Hungarian going after 1 year?
Was great to see you yesterday :) hope you have a safe trip back.
Hello Adrian, thank you very much for your content, I'm a new fan of you... I'm ready for translating some of your videos in Arabic language, do you have Amara Team ?
Thanks so much for the support. Please send a quick email to freelanceverse@gmail.com
Iam still a student, so would think it will be a good experience to start working from linkedin, it is My first Time I think l will not find a good one there because of the lack of My experiences, what do you think? What do you recommend for me to do?
I made a video about Permission Paradox, I'd say you check it out, it's exactly about that :)
This is alright for somebody who has already had the ball rolling for a long time... I haven't gotten anything online so what chances do I have when I dont have anything much under 'experience'.. How do I make up for it?.. My LinkedIn has existed for ages and nothing happens.
Hi Tarun, this is when you do volunteering work and add it under work experience after :)
what if the profile is still new ? could it inspire trust when I contact clients ?
It can, yes, but it's important that you actively fill it and post content
what video editore are u using
I'm using Shotcut
@@Freelanceverse thank bruh
Hi, Adrian. Can I get in touch with you for some questions to get started in freelance? Just think it would be easier to contact someone experienced in it.
yes sure :) either write me on LinkedIn or send an email to freelanceverse@gmail.com
@@Freelanceverse hey, Adrian. I’ve just sent u an email with all my questions, I would be really happy if u give a feedback on it)
@@ohmygod_rickey Great, thank you! I'll get back to you tomorrow.
How did you get texts in your banner ?
You can use Canva for that. They have templates for linkedin banners. You can design it however you want. Then you can simply upload it to your linkedin profile :)
Could you please mention the free-linkedin workshops pls
Not sure what workshops you're referring to.
@@Freelanceverse Hi Adrian and thanks a lot for a great channel.
I think that the question was about a LinkedIn workshop that you "took last year" (11m 10s), hopefully something to do with completing a profile and seeking recommendations from your clients.
Italian Subtitles by *Virginia Bechini* :) thanks so much
8:34 what if you've got no education degree ?
Then you don't add one, that's fine.
@@Freelanceverse thanks for your reply
