How long do you dedicate to each order for $5?

[thisisrealnifty]

Just wondering just how much time everyone spends on the production of a finished $5 gig. I generally spend up to 15 mins…

Using 2 3D mouse to create logo… So like 10min 🙂

For my most active gig… 2 hours.

mine takes 15-30 minutes some even 1 hour. Depends on the complexity of it but I really try to average it out to 15 mins per icon. so thats $16/hr which is a good amount in my country =)

It really depends. I challenge myself and try to finish them within 30 minutes to an hour, and if I can finish them in less than 30 minutes I would dance around. :)) I tend to get really OCD about my work and that really drives up the time so I’ve been working on working more efficiently overall. 😃

More or less like an 15-50 minutes sometimes longer. Anyway it’s inconsistent.

I do translation english to french, so it took me around 3 hours, depend of the complexity of the document. I don’t use software so i have to read the document, to translate it, and look for the word i don’t know (i had to translate sci-fi book, kind of crazy word).

I will be very happy to do my gig in 30 minutes 😕

For my traffic gigs, 30s-2m. Takes maintenance time every week though to improve the service and keep things running.

4 min Max that’s $1 buck min for my time and that’s cheap far as im concerned

Time is money . If a gig takes you longer then make sure you get payed for your

time.

For my main gig about 30 seconds to a minute

Quite often over an hour so I’v decided to reduce my wording down a little or offer the same quality service with a gig extra. But I don’t think people really want to pay the extra so I might have to offer 500 word or so, I just don’t wanna rush articles to much as I like to give quality deliveries

[ghostblogger]

I do not keep track, if I wanted to be paid by the hour, I would find a job where I punch the clock. Some articles I write simply take longer than others do. It doesn’t matter to me how long it takes it only matters how many I get.



Once you start telling your buyers by advertising on here that it only takes a few minutes to complete a gig they may start to feel they are being shortchanged. In my opinion of course

[kickoff3pm]

That mostly depends on the client. Most my gigs take about 2mins but if the client is not happy or just want to make a change it could be hours spread over days proberbly 🙂

It really depends. If it’s something simple like a phone tree recording, not very long. And that’s after giving the buyer several recordings. What usually takes the longest is when there are foreign names – or projects that are 20+ minutes of reading. A voiceover project for me generally takes 5-15 minutes. http://fiverr.com/kiffinyjean/record-and-produce-a-30-secord-commercial

20-40 mins for clean outline sketch, that’s why I charge more for coloring etc, it tooks 1-2 hours , or 3-4 hours if buyer asks for a complicated illustration. 😑

[lparziale]

Depends on the gig and extras ordered but on average 15-20 min.
