You forgot Fifth, manage to grab a PSL this autumn 😉

And good luck with earthquake avoidance, there was a small one when I was in Japan years ago and it´s pretty alarming really even if small, as you go into ‘will there be more?-mode’ for a while.

@ mario I think one of those streaming video spammers had a website named Screaming Streaming Downloads. I was going crazy at the time when staff was struggling to get them blocked and they used S-S-D.com in their posts, so I think at the time I had it added to the filter in desperation. I thought it would block the SSD.com URL from displaying. Anyway, since then I’ve tried to get them to remove some of the things that got messed up from that (words like East and Zone were also inadvertently added) but so far I guess they haven’t had time to reset the filter.

Sorry about that (to everyone.) I was mostly just trying to keep people away from the URL’s that had malware all over them. Now we deal with the consequences, but at least not the spam! 🙂

Oh that´s nice, and must be great for your mother that she can spend more time with you because of that book and all, and she must be so happy that you finally married after all that time! lol

i think a lot of us have that “learning for new gigs” thing going on. I’m doing that too, and working on some of the fears on making gig videos with my own VO to be more personable. Heck, I might get really crazy and be on camera. But, I’ll need better skills and equipment too… Sigh…

I used to have Audible for road trips and I loved it. I admit, though, I can’t use it unless I’m doing something else like driving, doing housework, exercising, etc. I fall asleep if I’m laying down or just sitting and listening. I’d rather just read on my Kindle. I hope you have fun with it!

I second your IMPORTANT NOTE. If people do it to me (without a good enough reason) they are likely to get reported for spam or a custom quote back from me.

I will polish my skills at pro level so that I could get richer and make my clients more happier. The more you make your client happy, there are more chances to get more business and get more richer than before. 🙂

Hi Emmaki! My plan is to continue doing my dog videos. I have a Youtube channel now. I don´t monetize my channel yet, but I am getting more subscribers slowly. I will keep doing this in 2017, it is fun to make videos with my dogs. I don´t have a big plan 🙂

You are right, and it happens I am not the type of getting revenge person when someone hurts me, maybe because I am just lazy, LOL. I remember though, I once helped my brother to catch a guy who scammed him (my brother has a business and that guy ordered a big amount from my brother and didn´t want to pay and he never showed up, never picked up when called from my brother´s private and business number). Long story short, good thing was that guy also has a business (another business). So, my brother asked me to help out. I called up the guy´s number from my number, I pretended that I was going to order from him, we met up in a restaurant to talk about the details, and then my brother came with his friends, and then I left. Nothing violent happened, they were just talking and making sure that the guy would pay my brother asap as he promised my brother. Yes, that guy paid my brother, on the same day. Seriously, I don´t like scammers (especially when it is my family who gets scammed), I even don´t like it more when good people get scammed.

Testing. Since my reply to OP wouldn´t appear, I am trying it here (sorry Mario :-P). I don´t have a big plan for 2017. I will just continue my dog Youtube channel (the stars are my own dogs) and keep on making videos. I am enjoying it 🙂 I will travel here and there sometimes. But overall, I don´t have a big plan.

OK. Now my own plans for 2017 would be to:

  1. Take my Fiverr hustle to the next level (by improving my existing gigs, creating new gigs, crazily marketing my gigs, giving my clients even better quality…doing all it takes to make more sales)
  2. Improve my writing skills and maybe write a small book or two
  3. Seriously update my programming skills
  4. Become a bad ass - or at least a better - domain name investor
  5. Learn at least two new skills which are moneymakers
  6. Read, read and learn as much as I can
  7. Do any other useful thing(s) which I may have forgotten to add

Thing is, I hope I will be able to accomplish at least 80% of what I have written here. Sometimes its easier said than done you know.

GL guys…!

My goal for 2017 is to figure out what I want Fiverr to do for me. I started a few months ago with the aim of seeing what’s possible here, and perhaps getting some extra spending money. I have a steady trickle of orders at this point, and I also have a separate career, which I have no intention of quitting (most days, anyway). Right now, my Fiverr income basically just covers my bad habit of eating lunch out all the time downtown, plus a little extra. Do I want it to be more than that? If so, I need to figure out a) what my strategy is and b) how to organize my time so it doesn’t take over my life.

I also have a few erotica e-books published on Amazon, and I think I could do pretty well there if I published regularly, but it’s a time consuming process with questionable payoff. Again, I need to consider where I want to invest my time, and if these money-making ventures are taking time away from more fulfilling personal hobbies and projects. Of course, with everything in the US in such turmoil right now, it seems worthwhile to have a few different sources of income.

So, broadly, my goal for 2017 is to figure out what my goals actually are, and then draw up plans for them.

It’s a huge difference between movies in a delivery format and movies in a editing format. I have to work in Avid DNxHD and as it is a feature film a 1TB dedicated for the project isn’t that much.

Posted

Sorry if I can’t go into too much detail here. First I lived in a photo studio and now I’m living in a film studio with tons of equipment and green screen.
Going into too much detail would be out of the scope of this post and too off-topic.

I send you a PM with the website of the movie.

Actually I rejoined Fiverr because I needed a RODE microphone and a decent audio recorder. By accident I developed a ‘business’ where I now can my living from, while working on my movie project.
It’s funny when I think about it.

Posted

It is 🙂 My thought to join was let me try for 2 or 3 months and see if I can pay for a few coffees or my music subscription with it, turned out I could drink a lot of coffee with what I made up to now. Incidentally I just read the amazon reviews on two Rode mics, they are rather mixed, you are/were happy with yours?

Posted

Yes haha, the falling asleep was my main worry up to now, I can keep up reading for a while after I´m already tired and still ‘really’ read what my eyes scan, but not sure how well it will go with listening.

It´s really annoying, even if your post isn´t the OP but ‘just’ a comment, I don´t feel like making a new thread just for that actually.
I do have some quick reply with ‘All tipps I could ever give you are already on the forum and academy pages <link>’, but I tend to be too friendly with my replies, and alas, usually that´s no good, too many people are too insensitive to sense the ‘go away’, if you don´t scream it at them literally.

I have had some pretty crazy entrepreneurial ideas in 2016. I’ve lost a lot of money. My biggest accomplishment is starting my home daycare. Right now I’m not licensed, and that’s fine, but I think I’d like to jump through the hoops and get licensed for 2017. I’m just happy I’m finally making profit somewhere with all my big ideas!

I love making crafts. I have my Etsy site going and of course Fiverr. I just need to learn more about marketing and maybe my dreams of having a small side business in addition to my daycare will one day pay off. Maybe 2017 will be the year things finally take off.

Hi everyone! I’m new to Fiverr and the Fiverr forums and was thrilled to come across this discussion. 🙂

I think my biggest goal, while of course hoping that I’ll be successful on Fiverr, is to ignite the passion I once had for graphic designing. When I was younger, I loved the idea of putting images and colors together. I thought I wanted to be graphic designer one day but unfortunately, I guess the competitiveness of the graphic design industry made me turn my head a different way thinking that I would not be able to compete with all the higher talent out there.

Now that I’ve graduated college and started a 9-5 job, something just seemed missing. I wanted to do something I enjoyed and thought the best way would be graphic designing as a hobby. I have looked at various other e-freelancing websites out there and they only discouraged me more to see all the talent out there. Knowing I do not have the educational background has also really discouraged me from ever returning back to graphic design.

But here I am! While I am no where near as talented as the others I have seen, I thought I would give it a try. Whether I am successful or not, Fiverr has lit a small fire underneath me, motivating me to expand my skills so that I can offer it as gigs (which looking at the posts above me is something that is motivation all of us) 🙂
