gina_riley2 Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Little advice for newbie buyers:There are many talented sellers on 5r. There are some with hundreds or even thousands of excellent reviews to back them up. Then there are the newbies with zero or perhaps a few reviews just waiting for the chance to prove they are the “Top Dog” - in a sea of thousands of sellers in the same nitch.Not all new sellers are created the same. Some are professionals from the day job or previous career and truly are EXPERTS in what they do. Being a freelancer on 5r means there is no overhead and it’s a cost saving for them.These newbie sellers could be:A new mom taking a break from the corporate world orA retiree who needs or wants few extra cash without having to go back to the officeSomeone unable to work outside the home due to an illness or physical conditionThey have exceptional abilities and you may very well be getting work that is worth hundreds or even thousands for fraction of the cost.I hired a newbie photoshop expert with zero reviews who gave me the “WOW” factor!I worked with two newbie manuscript editors who gave me work that was equal to corporate professionals - simply because they were.I’ve worked with newbie article writer who gave me writings that far surpassed many others I’ve worked with in the past.On and on and on . . .You may be the next buyer to find that 💍 or hidden gem on 5r. So, go ahead and give that newbie with zero reviews a chance. Make sure he/she has a genuine profile picture, great gig pictures, well written description - and take the plunge.You take the time to research and find the right seller and you too can get thousands of dollars of work for hundreds.Oh, when you do find that awesome new seller - take the time to give them a well written review (5 stars, of course) and if you can, give them a nice gratuity for the awesome work you got for pennies on the dollar elewhere! 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nikavoice Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Great post, Gina! 🙃Just like :shopping:. I don’t mind giving the new shop owner in the strip mall a chance to take my money 💰 I’ve had great experience working with new sellers. They treated me fairly and their professionalism was on point.

They treated me fairly and their professionalism was on point.I’ve been sitting in my comfort zone for too long. I’m hiring the tried and true sellers from My Favorites section.I’ve been trekking out to the newbie section. 5r seems to be tweaking and showing a bunch of new sellers on the first page.I still buy mostly from my regular sellers but when I have time, I like to see if I can add another newbie to my “Regular” seller list! ❤️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I want to hire someone to do jobs for me, I look for newbies with quality work. I have only employed 2 or 3, but I never have bee disappointed.

Those two are indeed very talented young men.I’ve hired braden - under his old and this new account! He does fantastic work. I mean grown up, great support, professional type!I looked at youssef’s gig several times. Today, I got excited at his gig but then he had a disclaimer (because I am one of those people who actually read the seller’s gig description - and try not to order by mistake) that I can’t hire him.

I was always curious about the artist. In the back of my mind, I really thought it was @woofy31 but I guess I was wrong. The dinosaur is cool! Wait… what about the young guy who created the lovely Eoinna image lol? 🤭I ❤️ Looking back, I’m so grateful for the things they’ve taught and shown me.

youssefkamel Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 That’s such a wonderful post to grab attention to new sellers!Honestly, I never thought to get out of my comfort zone and hire a new seller before. I always went for either those sellers I know from the forum or the ones with a good-enough review.But with this post coming at the right time, I’m going to actually take the move & start searching for the hidden talents between new sellers.🔍@gina_riley2 Finally someone who actually reads the gig description! 😄 I had to add this disclaimer from the several users contacting me thinking it’s a WP gig. Anyway, even after adding the disclaimer, they still do that.

bradencollins10 Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 How am I just getting a chance to sit down and thank you for this now?! Thank you so much, Gina, for getting this point across. It seems that some people just skip right to the “experienced” sellers who have the shiny badges, and yes, some of these sellers do have a lot more experience than some of us younger or less branded sellers here on Fiverr, but definitely not all. I have actually worked for a TRS in the past who bought my work and sold it as their own (I didn’t mind one bit, a sale’s a sale).I actually ordered my Gig Images from a new seller who had one or two reviews the first time I worked for him and I would shout him out, but I don’t think he’s active on the forum. He was super helpful and his service was both extremely fast and high quality. He was nothing but positive the whole time we worked together and I’m currently going to go back and order more. His work and style of people and objects just spoke to me. I love to check back in on his account and see how he’s doing every once in awhile because he deserves the best. Sometimes working with a New Seller can really change your perspective of a transaction 😁. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
