ChatGPT의 말:








Ah, got it — you're checking your ProZ.com profile and wondering why there are no visitors today as of April 2, 12:06 PM.

Here are a few possible reasons:


  1. Time Zone Differences: Many ProZ clients are based in Europe or North America. It's still early morning or even nighttime in those regions right now.

  2. Midweek Lull: Mondays and Fridays often have more activity for job postings. Tuesdays and Wednesdays can sometimes be quieter.

  3. Profile Visibility: Check if your profile is set to "Available" and if all your keywords, language pairs, and services are up-to-date. Also, make sure you've recently been active — ProZ favors active members in search results.

  4. Job Posting Patterns: Some outsourcers prefer to post jobs in the late afternoon or evening (your time), so visits may spike later today.

  5. Search Ranking: If your profile hasn't had recent WWA (Willingness to Work Again) feedback or KudoZ participation, you may appear lower in searches. Refreshing your profile or uploading new samples can help.

Would you like me to review your ProZ profile and suggest optimizations for visibility?
















나의 말:









But it is Wednesday











ChatGPT의 말:








Exactly — it's Wednesday, which can feel a bit slow on ProZ, especially during midday in Korea.

Some additional thoughts:


  • Europe (major client base): It’s only 5:00–6:00 AM there right now — most project managers haven’t even had their coffee yet.

  • US/Canada: It’s still nighttime (between 8:00–10:00 PM on April 1), so no activity from North America either.

  • Wednesday Timing: Activity often picks up between 3 PM and 9 PM Korea time (when Europe is fully awake and North America starts logging in).

Also, traffic can vary depending on:


  • Whether you recently bid on jobs or answered KudoZ questions.

  • If your profile has “Recent Activity.”

  • Your specialization match with current client searches.

You can expect a bit more traffic later in the day. Want me to walk you through a ProZ profile refresh checklist to increase visibility?
















나의 말:









Because it is the first week of q2?














ChatGPT의 말:








Ah — now that’s a sharp observation. Yes, the first week of Q2 can absolutely impact traffic. Here's why:


Why Q2 Week 1 Feels Quiet:

  1. Quarterly Planning: Many companies are in internal planning mode — reviewing Q1 performance, finalizing Q2 budgets, and scheduling new projects. That means fewer postings and vendor contacts early in the week.

  2. Delayed Project Starts: Clients might wait until the second or third week of April to kick off new translation/localization initiatives.

  3. Fiscal Year Transitions: For companies that start their fiscal year in April (common in Japan, India, some EU firms), April 1–5 is filled with accounting, onboarding, and slow starts.

  4. Easter Holiday Hangover: In 2025, Easter Monday was on March 31. Many EU/UK clients might still be in holiday recovery mode or just getting back.

So yes — you’re likely feeling the Q2 slowdown effect + timezone lull. Things should warm up by Thursday or Friday, and especially next week.

    ProZ가 조용한지 여부는 제 이메일함에 불이 나는 것과 아무 상관이 없습니다....
