Seven Qualities of a Successful Fiverr

[Guest usaseoservices]

1. Work Ethic
   
   
   
   When no one is looking, do you still work as hard? It may sound amazing – a job where you are your own boss. The only rules you have to follow are deadlines. This is the allure of freelance work. However, it can quickly become a freelancer’s downfall. Poor time management skills and a lackluster work ethic will corrode the quality of your work. Thus making the dream job a nightmare.
   
   
   
   It is easy to imagine oneself doing the hard work, much harder to actually do it. Not every job will fill you with excitement, you need to have the drive to overcome daily obstacles and meet your goals.
   
   
2. Drive
   
   
   
   Similar to work ethic, drive is a key facet of quality freelance work. The drive to meet your goals is essential. This means goals both big and small. The day-to-day goals of finishing or starting a project as well as the long-term financial goals you may have set for yourself. Staying driven will help keep you on the top of your profession, searching for more opportunities.
   
   
   
3. Confidence
   
   
   
   Confidence will help you sell yourself. That is what is really essential here. It will influence the quality and frequency of your work. The confident freelancer speaks comfortably about their skills and experience. Employers will naturally have more faith in the confident freelancer than someone equally as skilled but unable to speak freely about it. It helps to have some experience in sales, but one can also learn a lot from salesmanship books.
   
   
   
4. Curiosity
   
   
   
   A skilled freelancer chooses the variety of freelance work over the monotony of a single employer. That is because freelancers are inherently curious about the world, the way things are and the way they could be. Curiosity is an important attribute, as it will allow for a wider variety of projects and work to interest you.
   
   
   
5. Passion
   
   
   
   Whatever talent or skill you are offering, if it is not a genuine passion, you will have a hard time sitting down and getting to and through the work. Not all freelance gigs are equal. You will have the tedious tasks haunt you no matter what your profession. And simple passion for something will not translate into paychecks. The trick of successful freelancing is to find where your passion converges with a need in the economy. No matter how small that may seem, start there, passionately, and work outwards.
   
   
   
6. Being a Good Listener
   
   
   
   Freelance work draws people in with the idea of not having a boss. This is only true to an extent. You do have a boss, they just change often. The client has certain desires and expectations, hence them hiring you. It is important to hear what they are saying and to do as they ask, not as you think best. Unless you are being paid for consulting work, your boss is the client you take on. Being a good listener will help you be a good freelancer, because you will be doing the job right the first time around.
   
   
   
7. Reliability
   
   
   
   Freelance work can be hard to find. It can be impossible to find if you prove unreliable. Reliability is the building block of your freelance career. Get a job, be professional and submit quality work in a timely fashion and you will get another job. Whether it is through the same employer or another via word of mouth, a reliable freelancer will grow a reputation and a following of employers willing to support you.
   
   
   
   If you are headed into the freelance world, make sure you have these seven qualities before diving headfirst. If you are looking to hire a freelancer, may these attributes helpfully guide your decisions

If you don’t write something yourself, it is always best to credit your sources instead of passing off stolen content as your own. Copying others is rude at best and at worst, illegal. Especially when you take the content from staff members of the site you are on. So, here is the actual credit for what you posted:

The link you put in your post makes your post spam in addition to plagiarism.

Reply to @fonthaunt: Well said indeed. Do you think the OP will acknowledge this and give proper credit, or remain silent and continue spamming? In those lines, I read “It is easy to imagine oneself doing the hard work, much harder to actually do it…”, the OP should have probably read and applied what was clearly indicated. I guess some tips work only on others. I second that this post is all about linking to a gig and should be viewed as spam.

Reply to @elvisinstacute: To be honored by any family member of Elvis is a cat-lover’s dream. 😉 By the way, when the upload problem is fixed (hopefully someday) a video of Elvis I’ve been saving will be well utlized! I’ll try to remember to send you a link.

Reply to @norrsken_marc: If this is a typical one, they will either claim outrageous injustice and say they are the author of the outside info, or they will quietly disappear having been caught. I think it is rare they even read what they are pasting in.



The spam has become so prevalent it is silly, especially during dark hours in North America. It is left up to the regular forum visitors to say something. Thanks for your help!

Reply to @fonthaunt: And luckily, since I don’t think many buyers scour the forum looking for this kind of “content marketing” (if you can even really call it that), it hopefully doesn’t really have that much effect on the marketplace. It just clutters up the forum–which is annoying, but at least the attempt at marketing fails. Silver linings, amiright?
