Never go anywhere near the buyer requests. This is a time waste, and only stingy people looking for absurdly low prices for a ton of work use this section. Don’t even think of clicking it. Save yourself sanity and time.

I actually got my 3 orders from BR, although I’ve gotten buyers contact me from seeing my gig being seen from the search

About Buyers Requests. They are a great tool for Buyers, are they useful for Sellers? This is not the issue. You are a professional. You must dedicate yourself to the Buyers and deliver the best result. Of course if the price range is what you deserve considering your skills and talent. Anyway, in the music categories I found many interesting projects, so it is not true that Buyers Requests are useless.

I don’t think anyone deserves to do 20 tracks for $5…

I know there are very strange requests, but there are also interesting projects. Not just in “producers” but also in “session musicians”, “sound design”, “jingles”, “mixing”.

You got me there on the semicolon!

Very useful tips. I guess the grind never gets easy here as well. Apart from trying on BR, I feel we don’t have many options as a new seller.

I have just joined; thank you so much!

Thank you for your post!

For the Buyer Request issue, I definitely understand where you’re coming from, but you can actually find some good buyers when you use discernment. My first buyers and reviews came from Buyer Requests, and they were all easy to work with because I put expectations up front.

As for the semicolon issue, I had not really thought of it being snobbish until now (more poetic and an easy way to avoid run-on sentences), and I’ll definitely keep that in mind. Thank you!

Completely agree!

I check the buyers requests everyday. Sometimes I may send 1 or 2 messages but there can be days or weeks where I don’t send anything.

You just have to be very selective to avoid misconceptions and problems!

exactly, the idea is to send offers if you are sure to do an exceptional job only 😊

Status update: After 193 orders and almost a year on the platform, I finally recieved an order from a buyer request. Sheesh.

7. Be more chill. The most common demographic for Fiverr is young adults. You’re not going to receive orders from businessmen very high up (One of my common buyers literally uses “UwU” and “OwO” in his messages, I know.). You will always get orders from YouTubers, young entrepreneurs, content creators, etc. Don’t be crass or profane , but keep it chilled out. Nobody is going to like you if you use semicolons; semicolons scream sophistication and a stuck-up attitude. Level with the seller, and get a read on how they act and communicate. Mirror that personality, and make it seem like they are talking to themselves, but with talent.

That’s exactly how i got my first order! We became friends actually and he wants to order again. We have same attitude because I am a young person. He uses the common ‘lmao’ ‘lol’ ‘XD’ and a lot of emojis. You have to know the age to be ‘chill’ with them. Some wants professional speaker so make sure to know or recognize the age of the customer before getting too comfortable. By the way i started this gig for fun. Got my first order for a week. Thank you and very helpful thread @the_mad_duck nice choice of name XD

Haha, nice post, i almost never looked at forum before i became level 2 myself, but somehow managed to follow every single step from your text xD

Though im hardly getting any youtubers and such because of my working sphere, im cartographer, so if i was to write such, i would say that you’ll meet tons of nice people who know what they want and ready to pay fair price 😃
