Question
bioeditorx
Hello everyone 😊
I'm seeking insights from more experienced freelancers here regarding an issue from the topic: clients suggesting significantly reduced rates for services.
I'm a newcomer to this platform, and to build ratings and some trust with potential clients, I'm initially offering lower rates than most of the well-established users. So far, I haven't received any orders, except for the usual spam messages. Today, I had my first serious inquiry from a potential client. However, they proposed an exceptionally low rate and an extremely tight deadline. I declined the proposed terms because I know that to deliver high-quality work to the client, I would need to invest many, many hours of work. Even though I lack any ratings or experience on Fiverr at the moment, I believe my services deserve fair compensation.
Now, to the point, I'm concerned about this situation and would like to hear about your experiences. Is this kind of underpricing common on this platform? Are clients often prioritizing lower rates over service quality?
