andreaswop Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Hi all!I have been following the “Buyer Requests” tab on Fiverr for a while, and I have sent COUNTLESS offers.Has anyone actually had success in scoring a gig from Buyer Requests? I’m starting to feel like it’s all spam! I haven’t even received replies to offers or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miiila Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Yes, a few really good ones even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
power_design Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Yes, I have a good number of orders coming from BR. I generally only send BR when I’m free and there is no work to do.Lately I prefer strolling around the forum instead of the BR section though.

rebekahgillian Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Yes. I didn’t send a single buyers request in my first month on this website because I was getting by with orders from people directly, and there weren’t any relevant results to the area my gig was in, anyway.However, I was worried I was going to be left without work, and a request came up that I thought I’d be able to complete came up, so I decided to bid on it. I’m in talks with them now and it looks like it’ll go ahead!Some fields are more competitive than others, though, and it would, I imagine, depend upon the reviews you already have. Don’t give up; I’m sure something will come along that will suit you, and the buyer, just fine shortly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to realize that in BR, you are COMPETING for the job. You don’t deserve any jobs or responses from buyers, you EARN them by presenting well-written offers that provide the service that the buyer needs to solve their problems.Most new sellers fail miserably in BR, because they don’t look at it as competition – they merely expect that orders will come their way just because they want them. But that’s not how competition works. If you want to be successful in the BR section, assume that everyone else applying for a buyer’s job is better than you are. Then, find a way to be better than those others that are better than you.If you don’t present yourself as the the best available seller, with the right skills, the most well-written offer, the best service-appropriate price, and the most helpful buyer solution, then you’re just not going to win the job.Stop expecting responses, and start earning them. 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never offer on those that want the world for $5. I only make offers on those that provide a reasonable amount of pay for the work for which they are looking. I have even made an offer higher than the buyer’s stated budget, and even so, I have received the bid. I have done this by doing what @jonbaas promotes in this paragraph. 🧐If you don’t present yourself as the the best available seller, with the right skills, the most well-written offer, the best service-appropriate price, and the most helpful buyer solution, then you’re just not going to win the job.
