Hi, everyone! Quick question: do you use your Fiverr work as a portfolio when looking for a job?

[diegofarts]

Hi, so far I've only managed to get two jobs here on Fiverr. Which is pretty frustrating considering how long I've had the account here.

HI @diegofarts, first of all, terrific name!

Also, yeah, I had a slow start too and the platform had gone through several changes since 2021 and has made getting a gig specially difficult for new sellers. But you already have two jobs done so don't give up!

Do you have the option to receive briefs turned on?

Hi @kio_pendragon!

I think is a good idea to use Fiverr as a portfolio if you want to work with your clients through the platform. But as a personal portfolio I particulary have my own website for that.

That way I divide my traffic and have each thing for its own purpose.

Depending on what you do, artstation is a great choice for a portfolio.

Well known, good interface. Accepted by everyone. 

I wouldnt use my fiverr as portfolio. It has prices on it, display options are bad for an outsider. And your gallery may contain some works you wouldn't want to show.
