offlinehelpers Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Many thanks! I was afraid there was some Fiverr rule prohibiting this.Nope - I asked CS about this a while ago, and so long as the buyer okays it to be in your live portfolio, you’re good to go. As i say, some might ask you to remove it from third party websites, which I’ve done in the past. Good luck! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The work belongs to the buyer the minute you take their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woofy31 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Also, keep in mind that some buyers explicitly mention their license terms and usage restrictions on their gig pages, so you might want to look at gig descriptions carefully in such cases.

Is it hard to spot?It’s a little checkbox I believe which you can check or uncheck depending on whether you want the work to be shown in the seller’s portfolio.It’s the only way portfolio items are added, sellers can’t add items themselves, so it must be pretty visible.

My question is if Fiverr had any rules that would prohibit me from using work on any third party portfolio site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miroslavglavic Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 when someone commissions you to do a work, they own the work. not you.If @offlinehelpers was working for Disney, ANYTHING done while employed at Disney, even if he/she/it draws an arrow on a napkin at home, that arrow belongs to Disney.

uncarved Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 So why is Fiverr pushing the live portfolio then? I’m sure as a buyer you must look for it too?because it helps people see the work that the seller is actually turning in and not the three photos that they (more than likely) took off the internet.

Sellers can’t add to the portfolio themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newsmike Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Many thanks! I was afraid there was some Fiverr rule prohibiting this.Many thanks! I was afraid there was some Fiverr rule prohibiting this.When someone does something amazing with my stuff, I ask them if I can add it to my demo reel. You need permission at that point.If they allow live portfolio that is one thing. If you want to use elsewhere you need to ask. They now own the rights to that work, because you now own the rights to their money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
