What’s your best Fiverr Advice?

[mehboobahmed6821]

Always tried to follow two steps

1 : client is always right

2: if client is ever wrong , re-read rule 1

it gives much stress sometimes but I forget that stress when I see the happy ending and a satisfied client.

If the client is wrong wouldn't it be better to politely show & say that they are wrong (not saying "you are wrong" but another way)? eg. if they ask for something and something about what they ask for would mean lots more work but they say "oh it won't require x to be done" you could show them exactly why x would need to be done, why it would take a lot longer to do that task and maybe if quoting a price, why it could cost more.

It's surely best to be honest if the buyer is making incorrect statements, with proof to back up the actual truth.

Patience and hard work.

DO NOT CAUSE ANY FRICTION WITH THE CLIENTS.

They hire you to “take the pain away”. They have a problem and, you are hired to solve it. So, avoid causing the client any type of suffering after they hire you.

I choose my words very carefully. This may seem odd but, it goes down to an existential level. Think about it.

 

As for the rest, I agree with the people above.

dotu_art literally half-assed anything i told him of my commission and every time i had to make him re-do something because he had done it incorrectly, if that isn't friction then i am Santa Claus

 

in the end he cancelled the order, i was the one who had started the order, and the avatar he was making was nearly done too

Best Advice! 👏

Be a great listener. Begin every project by taking the time to fully understand the clients vision.

[lee_petrovich]

Never expect to get more orders by setting a meager price. There are some toxic buyers, because they are very greedy(including Fiverr Select buyers), expecting to provide services worth dozens of dollars for just five dollars, and then they make all sorts of false promises to you, such as saying there will be more orders in the future, you will become famous, or they are big companies, only looking to exploit you and make you meet their unreasonable expectations.

To keep the client satisfied by any means. Update yourself from time to time.

[tanzil_hasan]

Optimize titles, use quality visuals, and get positive reviews.

[teamandromeda]

Don´t underestimate spending time on promoting your gigs (plan in that time or set around 60 or 70/month aside for it), next to that, deliver at least 6 hrs before the deadline, in this way you stay higher in the visibility. Goodluck everyone!

This is so important, yes. And it´s good to refer to it in things previously discussed, for example, on tuesday you said this and this, according to research unfortunately it is not possible (show facts) and that is why I cannot meet your expectations (e.g.) and then give alternatives or solutions to then still complete or to cancel the order.

100% agree with this and a lesson a lot of us have learned - especially over the last few months. Deliver quality on Fiverr - most definitely but I think diversification in terms of where one is building one's business is critical

[priyank_mod]

Unintentionally, I end up 'disowning' my own work after 6 months!!

 

As and when if I need to refer to a not-so-recent previous order, my expression goes like...
