Hello, Chamber here. Originally, I was going to quit pause translating until after my military service period was finished. However, as some of you may know, I resumed translating - 'As a hobby' this time (without receiving proper payment) But now... it looks like I won't be going to military service for a LONG time (Why? there's a queue, apparently... Military service is compulsory... but you can't go anytime you want. Srsly, wth is this...) So comes my question. Should I translate "seriously" again? (As in, do sponsored chapters, put up cancerous ads, and patreon?) (Setting up patreon and ads is a bother, so I won't do that for the time being). I can handle the workload, sure. (I mean, I once did 24 chapters per week thanks to sponsors...) Also, I'll be needing more editors, one for each series (One Man Army / God of Music), So there will be 2 editors working on 1 series. That is, "IF" I translate seriously again. (Requirement for GoM editor: You have to be in possession of Microsoft word 2016) I know, you're going to say stuff like, "you should decide for yourself, not go with majority vote", but I'd like community feedback anyway. PS. one 'no' vote, is from me... so it doesn't count
If you use WordAds by Wordpress, setting up ads becomes easy: just pushing a button Hopefully, you translate one of the novels I like PS WordAds pays peanuts though and cost $9 per month
Nah; don’t make it into a job that stresses you. Go ahead and get sponsored chapters though; no one says that sponsored chapters MUST be paid up asap! Make your own rules.
The thing is, I screwed up in setting up the website, and now WP wants me to pay in Czech currency.... Yeah I know, I'm not going to do unlimited sponsored chapters this time, just a fixed amount of sponsored chapters per week.
let me thank in advance to the person who will donate $100 and above in one go like in EER translation days
If you can afford to (timewise) please do so... I'm a big fan of GoM. It's one of my reliever novels.
Lets do some math for Chambers speed. 24/7*365.25=1252.3 chapters a year on average is Chambers speed at max assuming for EER this means that from my limited sample that chamber can do 24 chapters of 2400 words avg a week which comes out to 8.2 thousand words a day. a chapter of OMA is roughly 2k words and GoM is 3K words so you should keep current speed and scale your chapter support around your own data for the number of words in EER 5k wrds is limit IMO so that you can still have fun.
Well, i am waiting One Man Army update everyday. So i vote Yes!! Where is your previous editor btw? KKS, he called?
Haha I am worse I got blacklisted by the entire company because of a chargeback. In retrospect only use Automattic products as a last result
