📖 The Hustle
Translating marketing copy is harder than regular translation because slogans, humor, and emotional appeals do not cross cultures. Use AI for the first draft, then creatively adapt the copy for each market. Charge $0.10-0.20 per word for marketing localization. AI provides the foundation; your cultural knowledge makes the copy sell.
🚀 First Step
Find an English ad campaign, re-create it for the Mexican market using AI translation plus cultural adaptation, and list transcreation services on Fiverr at $0.12 per word.
🔑 Keys to Success
- Use AI to research cultural taboos, color meanings, and symbols in the target market before adapting copy
- Adapt not just words but also imagery references, humor styles, and emotional triggers for each culture
- Build a portfolio showing side-by-side comparisons of original copy and culturally adapted versions
