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???
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: th-cam.com/video/ZS-vdacQ-80/w-d-xo.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.
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.

@@corknakovastein why do you come here to Brazil?
what is taylor profile in fiverr?
Drum recordings would be ok if you have a drum kit permanently set up somewhere. You need a lot of space for that though.
That was great, thanks for sharing!
Yall keep up the good work..dont mind these impatient irritated people
Good for him
im proud of my friend
60 hour weeks though? 😅😅😅
Help me
This sounded like a biography... Doesn't really answer how he made Fiverr money.. am I missing something?
watch this for details: th-cam.com/video/ZS-vdacQ-80/w-d-xo.html

Hell yeah, I made $40 from my girlfriend on Fiverr in 2023... I feel like no one sees my Fiverr, it's so saturated.
lmao
It doesn't tell us anything about how he earn the income.
bro literally have 12 reviews on fiver ? so how he made $81,434
that is not correct
How much do you charge per project? Seems like most people charge $20 for a few minute composition. Seems insane
$300-$1000ish@@lukesimas

Huge congrats to Taylor for these earnings!! Can relate to learning from Cory and also being happy when the leafs win!

So where are Taylor’s links? You should post them
Sounds like such a lovely working relationship you guys have. Hard to find. Hold on to that!
Great story! I much prefer getting live drum recorded, but yep it comes at a price. I have used Reuben Alexander a few times.
Taylor Produced two songs for me, did a great job. He also mixed and mastered one of the songs, turned out great.
Taylor?...Taylor from high school!?...
Ya'll sharing sweaters now? Ned Flanders Studios
no dude, it's the studio uniform
That outro LOL I really liked the look inside your guys dynamic. Interesting video!
hell yeah fellas
$81,434 Canadian?
That’s a pretty good anual revenue if it’s USD
shhhhhhhh
Ahhhh…… there’s the “ruse” 🤑
…. still pretty impressive 🤘🏽
I need a 'Cory' :)
This is awesome!
Go LEAFS GO!
LFG
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
They're upright though.
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.
Wow! Tyler is the best!!
After 5 Seconds of hesitation The Man became a natural right away. Extremely charismatic talking abilities. Give the man a TV show and a mic.
be careful what you wish for
