Bitcoin Forum

I recently asked a question, if i could earn bitcoins as a junior member and i was suggested to sell my skills. What are those?. Well, the only skill i have, i think is, i can speak and write 4 languages (german and enlish fluently but not a native speaker)...Does that help?

trying to earn bitcoins is absolutely not a good idea, there is no employer in the world that is capable paying you regularily in "bitcoin" its an unconditional high corporate risk signing such contracts, additionally, for higher yield jobs a huge specialisation is required, which means staying long on a certain position, with bitcoin there is no way to manage something like that, with a central bank or ico there is.

bitocin isnt even used as a currency but as a speculative asset, manipulating the market, and the desperate hopes of those so called, "bulls" in the scammy bull calls in the fancy looking media.

even an online store selling specialised goods, will in the end fail to attract many bitcoin customers, because they are basically in reality almost nonexistent.

its the media and central bank outrage that makes people think there are many potential bitcoin customers out there but its not true, they are very rare.

regards

Those who advise that you sell your skills actually knows what they are talking about and since that is the skill you have come to know you have, there is nothing stopping you from getting additional skill. The one you have currently can also be put into use as you can go for translation jobs for projects  launching and wanting to get the attention of certain audience of the community whose native language is not English, that is where you come in. But to do that, you have to start from somewhere which is not limited to trying to learn the right way its being done by partnering with the people already in the business after which you can start on your own.

Going from there, you can expand into article writing, blog posting in all of the languages you know and thereafter, you can add community management to it since you serve as a liaison between the project and the community. The point I am trying to make is that, the 'only' skill you have can open up several additional skills for you. Just be careful to do it right.

Translation skills are great, especially if you know many languages but using it in this forum will not return you a good income.
Working with projects "ICOs" is a waste of time because they do not care about the quality of translation "Competitors of many translators" and that the payment is by tokens that do not value them in the future.

Learn and translate/write many articles over time you may develop your own blog or work for a famous magazine.
Instead of spending time on ICOs that do not have a future, learning will be your gain if you do not achieve material gain.

So the English and German languages are four languages :P :P :P :P

his biggest mistake is that he wants to be paid in bitcoin this is completely ridiculous as bitcoin isnt a working currency for payments, anymore

That's not exactly true. I'm a freelance web developer / software developer & accept payments through Bitcoin.

As mentioned, translation services are a great aid to many people starting up websites, etc. If you can translate effectively, and work with PMs to get the translations complete in a timely manner, I'd post a thread in the services section offering your skills. Also, look out for posts "looking for translators"

You can also do translation QA, which is "looking through sites to find errors in translations".

jes but a timed contracts with bitcoin is ridiculous, only some freelance works but you will suffer from a high instability, of the market, if you fix yourself on bitcoin, you wont get a very stable supply of contracts, if you demand bitcoin

Then hunt for it. Compete with others.

But as far as the nature of translation works here in the forum (mostly in bounties), the payment is mostly the project tokens and not bitcoin. So the value of it will just be know once it gained liquidity in the market and the worst case, no value at all.

You must accept a fact that there is no easy path in acquiring bitcoins at first unless you will buy it directly. Take it as a challenge and do your homework on other ways to earn bitcoin. Spend time on it if you are really eager to learned and not just focus on your stocked knowledge you currently have.

Your acquired skills can help you a lot as mentioned by our BTCzen before me. Additionally you can try equipping yourself with technical knowledge thats abundant here. And when your already speaking the same language as our technical gurus in this forum, then that could be the start of you earning more btc.

Well, Bitcoin is just another form of money and you are supposed to do the same things that you would do to earn regular money. As you said you have the oratory skills, you can probably try things like freelancing where you can give your voice to numerous projects including but not limited to whiteboard videos, tutorials, dubbing, teaching your skills etc. There is no general answer that will suit everyone and that's the beauty of it. Everyone has some unique skills but not everyone is aware of it. Just recognise the skills and opportunities and try to exploit those opportunities then you will realise that monetization is not a big deal.

In this forum, you can develop some skills that may help you in the future, a trading skill like technical analysis can be developed not only in crypto but can use in stocks as well. creating an article for an ICO will help your writing skill and research skill you will also obtain some knowledge while searching. take this all of this as an experience to learn and develop

I think he/she can easily say like for an example $100 in bitcoin, no matter what is the condition of the market up or down he will still receive $100.


@heroson
you can try to do some translation on some projects here and be cautious on what projects are you going to join.
most of them are paid in tokens but you can easily trade them to bitcoins.

Your language skills will come in handy with the translation of ICO whitepapers and also FAQ pages on Bitcoin websites and also moderating some of the local foreign language sections on this forum. Most people can only speak one language or even two, but they have difficulty writing it.

You can even help "newbies" on this forum to improve their "English", because there are a lot of people struggling with that. <obviously for a small fee>  ::)
 

At least you have 4 languages that you can take advantage of.

But there's too much competition for translators, if I were you I'll explore more with areas that doesn't have too much competition.

And don't just focus with earning through the forum.

You can earn bitcoin in Marketplace -> Services, just post a topic with your translation skills and pricing. You can also check Altcoins -> Bounties to earn altcoins by translating ANN topics and whitepapers. You can exchange the altcoins to bitcoins when the altcoin is listed in exchanges or find a p2p buyer.

Other websites to earn bitcoin are https://xbtfreelancer.com and https://reddit.com/r/jobs4bitcoins

I earn bitcoin as a programmer and it seems possible to earn as a translator as there are many ICOs and crypto websites that request translations.

You can also make a blog in steemit.com and write explanations about crypto, translate crypto news, write guides in multiple languages. You can earn steem (altcoin) if your articles have many views and likes and you can exchange steem to bitcoin in many exchanges including shapeshift.io

English and german "fluently ", you forgot that word. And other two are my mother tongue FYI

Take participate in translation bounties.

Thank you so much , i would love to do that

Usually, it's the combination of skills that brings you higher profit. Just the ability of speaking several languages is not as attractive as if you had, let's say, feel for a language - so you could write decent articles for local communities. Also, talking about crypto sphere - deep insight and narrow focus could be really valuable. Sit down and analyse your stronger sides. And don't forget to stay connected, look for the right people in linkedin and advertise yourself. Good luck!

Then don't demand Bitcoin, just simply offer it as a method of payment. Use markets like this (bitcointalk.org) to gather projects.

Bitcoin doesn't have to be the end all when it comes to freelancing, it can be complementary.

I think using multiple languages is a cool trick.
You can do translations and more.
It is often seen that some ANN posts need to be translated, and here you can make a big difference.

I think that you just should do bounty campaigns it will be much
easier to find a good bounty than an employer that will pay you bitcoins for your "skills".
