uk1000 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 You need to click on “publish” on a gig for it to become active and seen by others (after it’s been checked by Fiverr first). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nicelyput Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 please share your gig linkIt is live now. I have followed the other guys advice but I have done all it says, all is left s to watch a video, I have been watching it buffer for 4 minutes after the third attempt.

uk1000 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Maybe adjust the revisions in the packages. Currently someone can get 5 free revisions on the basic ($10) package, but if they pay $100 they only get 1 revision. Normally the premium package has at least the number of revisions as the basic package I think.edit: Also the tag “copying” - maybe change that. eg. to copywriting . 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am really frustrated trying to watch this video the other guy sent me. Just buffering non stopAre there any other sites better suited to someone at entry level like me you think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just buffering non stopAre there any other sites better suited to someone at entry level like me you think?It works for me in Chrome. Maybe try another browser if it still doesn’t work. You could also try refreshing the page (Ctrl F5) if it doesn’t work. I assume you’ve pressed the “play” button on the bottom left of the video frame after pressing the play button in the middle of the video frame. If there’s still a problem eg. buffering you could try lowering the resolution of the video by clicking on the icon in the bottom right of the video frame. You could run a speed test on your connection - if there’s an issue (if very slow connection which it isn’t normally) maybe resetting your router might help.You could also try the free “learn from Fiverr” course about freelancing for tips.I don’t think we’re allowed to suggest other freelancing sites, though I’m not sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though yours does say “cheaper than the rest” in the title. I don’t think there are others who do 3000 words for $10. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invest your time, read the forum, watch videos, google how to set up your own business or what mindset you need to have for setting up your own business and freelancing.It’s all in your hands and being new is no excuse. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicelyput Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 I cannot delete this as much as I have tried. I do not wish to continue with it. I would rather shut myself down that be ego-fodder for keyboard-kaisers masquerading as help.Apologies to those who actually helped.I went to all videos but they did not work, so I came here and the sorts of comments like the one above are what I get.No one talks to me like that in the flesh so I will not accept it online either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
