uk1000 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 You could create more gigs related to the other skills you mention in your profile.Also there were a couple of apostrophes missing in the gig video.Also in the current gig I’d be careful of copyright in terms of lyrics/video.

Also the lyrics which you show in the video will be copyrighted to them I assume (or at least, if it’s someone else’s song eg. from a famous group, it’s likely to be copyrighted and probably can’t be used without permission).Also, if i’m not supposed to use these videos then how am i supposed to show my work to the clients?I suppose you could make up some lyrics or have some made up and use video sources you create/have the rights to use to create the gig video with.Creating other gigs with other skills from your profile might be more profitable or increase profits (if done as well as your current gig) and have less copyright issues.i was recently told on this forum that ranking shouldn’t be my top concern, contacting and understanding the buyers should beI’d be careful about contacting past buyers too, in case any flag it as spam if it’s not about a current order they have or if it’s not about a request they’ve recently made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the first thing you say in your profile is “I am a SOFTWARE Engineer”. Something related to that could be quite profitable for a gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
