📖 The Hustle
YouTubers and video creators want international audiences but need subtitles in multiple languages. Use AI to generate translated subtitles with proper timing, then review for accuracy and readability. Charge $5-15 per minute of translated video. AI generates the subtitle files; you clean up timing and cultural references.
🚀 First Step
Download a 3-minute YouTube video, generate translated subtitles in Portuguese using AI tools, clean up the timing, and list this on Fiverr at $8 per minute.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Keep subtitle text short enough to read on screen with proper character limits per line for readability
- Use AI to adapt jokes, idioms, and cultural references rather than translating them literally
- Offer SRT, VTT, and ASS subtitle formats to support different platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, and Netflix
