limsenza Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Let's start thread, how the brief is helping seller to get more buyer in contact & improve the sales ratio by compare to the "Buyer request"! 18 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickieito Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 Just now, corsogr said: I've noticed that briefs are more well payed. I agree! I receive 10-15x more on each brief order than the buyer request orders that I received. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ozan_erdi Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I havent recieve a single brief which was useful to me. All of them are other sellers and people who just writes "I NEED 2D" and leave it there. That feature is non-existent for me. 11 3 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melanielm Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Most of the briefs I get request services I do not provide OR they are sellers looking for work. I'm training the system (hopefully) to work better for me. I have received two orders from the Briefs system so far. They went smoothly with no issues. 13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiespencer Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Like @melanielm, I have had two good orders through briefs, but mostly they are for services I do not offer or are spam. I do enjoy reporting the spam, though. 🤭 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buyer briefs are just not providing proposals that even get close to the services I offer. 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosin_babs Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I haven't even seen a single brief since it came into picture. My recent orders were from returning buyers 13 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrygrantvo Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 They just need to go ahead and change the name to 'Buyer Vaguely Worded Message About This Thing I'm Kicking The Tires On And Just Want To See How Expensive It Will Be To Have Done' because that's how most of them read. Calling it a 'brief' sort of implies that it's a clear, concise, and organized outline of what they need done and why they need it, which these never seem to be. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiverr needs to tighten up the requirements the buyer inputs. For example, I have had requests for proofreading, copyediting, book formatting, illustrations, and publishing to Kindle in one brief, and I only offer two of those services. 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had a couple of requests for logo design. I offer book blurbs, and I've received a total of one (1) brief that mentions book blurbs, but that buyer also wanted the book written, the cover designed, and a bunch of other things, all within the same request. 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that some of that falls on Fiverr, in not giving specific options in the brief definition process for the buyer to choose the service they're looking for. It appears that the only criterion they need to choose for my services is "writer" and no further specification. I think Fiverr has set this process in automated motion, and doesn't appear to be making any effort to refine the process. So I get many of the same briefs as @vickiespencerjust mentioned, as well as "translate this from Spanish, Russian," and a host of other languages I don't speak. The list of briefs I get that aren't remotely close to the services I provide goes on and on.

zeus777 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) So far it's doing nothing for me, I think I get a good number of messages but I delete them without even checking the contents. I offer translation (Japanese/English) and all the briefs I receive are languages I don't understand. I guess the Fiverr system just focused on the "translation" part and not the actual languages. I DO check the briefs eeeeeevery now and then just for the heck of it, but nope, none of them were for me so far. It's oddly impressive though, how wrong they are each time!!😅 Edited January 14 by zeus777 14 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vickiespencer Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Surprise, surprise! At last, today, I finally got a brief that was a match. It was for proofreading and copy editing, which is exactly the service I provide! 13 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeus777 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Well after @vickiespencer's success with the brief, I actually clicked/checked the message I received this morning. I thought maybe, juuuuuuuuust maybe someone is looking for a Japanese translator... but the brief was about someone looking for a Spanish translator. Darn in, I just wasted 2 seconds of my precious time! 7 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very positive in this way. It would be cool if we could receive in the next months briefs every day. I'm sure also more customers are needed. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today I received a brief from a buyer looking for someone to do their homework! 😱 At first, I was not happy. But then I thought, well if that student had requested someone to do their homework in Buyer Requests, they would have had several offers to do so. However, now that the briefs go to more qualified sellers, perhaps students will not find anyone to help them cheat. 🤨 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
