Continuing the discussion from How Fiverr's Search Algorithm Works:

I hate to be the one to tell you this: you’re being scammed. Don’t give away your work for free.

I see a lot of advice that encourages the freelance tropes - the idea that we’re all workaholic night owls, perpetually hunched over keyboards, waiting at the beck and call of potential clients. Never log out… Always be agreeable to clients… Give free samples or mock ups… Answer right away… If you needed an experienced professional to give you permission, in plain words, here it is: it’s okay to be a human being.

Hi! I have checked your profile and I don’t understand why your customer think you’re someone who can only remove the background, as there’s no gig about that! :woman_shrugging:t2:

By the way, never send your customer a demo or a sample until they have placed an order, it’s like giving away free work. Maybe if you have a portfolio you can show them that, but never send samples for free.
