  1. So you are suggesting sending spam to former buyers? That is a great way to get his account blocked.
  2. OK, just got my first brief, and remembered this thread that @frank_d started. It came in as flexible/flexible and I can't understand how in the world I should have been able to help him. I just sent a standard offer for a VO of 150 words at $125, and he cancelled it right away. Appears that it was another VO actor trying to get work from me. This feature is really poorly thought out.
  3. Punishing powerless citizens of countries for the actions of their leaders is a new and very scary trend in the world.
  4. So while politicians wage war, Fiverr restricts the earning potential of powerless citizens to provide for their families? Punishing a graphic artist in Moscow means nothing to Putin and is merely virtue signaling. Starving the citizens of warring countries is immoral on either side. Families need to eat. That's what Fiverr should be concerned about.
  5. Yeah, me too. Whenever there is a war, I almost always root for the humans.
  6. #1 is an epidemic all over the English speaking world. It seems no one can say "Button" any longer, it is almost always "Buh-inn."
  7. Accents can be fun to fool around with. I just find it amazing that anyone would buy a VO from someone faking it, when they could for example get a great American accent from an actual American, or hire an actual Brit instead of someone doing their Daphne impression from Frasier.
  8. You can always tell. My category is full of people who claim to be able to do either UK or American Voice Overs, and they are generally terrible at both. Either their fake American sounds like a surfer dude, or their fake UK sounds like Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins. Authenticity is rare indeed.
  9. Yabla is very good for immersion, and to practice, I'd recommend iTalki for live practice once you get rolling.
  10. You are calling me names, but you have no argument. You have no idea how happy that makes me. If you want to get under my skin, you gotta dismantle my argument/logic. Your opinion of me means nothing to me, which makes your personal attacks super dumb.
  11. Actually, samples are usually discouraged here. It is a sure fire way to get ripped off as a seller. Asking for samples is the sign of an amateur or dishonest buyer and providing them is the sign of a noob seller who will regret it. Better to save yourself the trouble and just hire a L2, TRS or PRO seller. Simple.
  12. Only about 5 red flags on that scammer. Funny pitch, "Let me underpay you now so you can prove your skills, and then I will reward you by underpaying you on an ongoing basis." Morons.
  13. I understand why you want to make that claim, but please tell us about how you surveyed the millions of new sellers and determined their work quality and honesty. Or is this simply extracted from your nether region for the sake of making a sale?
  14. No one needs to give you anything. "You have to work to succeed...Owner of a Lonely Heart."
  15. You really need to learn how Fiverr works. The forum is for fun, it has NOTHING to do with "ranking" your gig, or making sales. So you can relax and spam less.
  16. In which direction must he go ahead to "rank" gig? Instagram
  17. I'm hopeful that if they have spent time to code dark mode for the app that they will also make it available for the website on PC.
  18. What about them? We all started as a new seller with no sales, at zero. We all had to slug it out taking slimy "buyer requests", and selling at prices that it is illegal to pay someone in any civilized country. The difference is that, unlike you, I did all that and did not complain, or expect others to prop me up. How about the rising talents work hard to propel themselves as we all did, instead of expecting others to do it for them? Again, I'll ask, why do you take others to task for not helping you, instead of taking scammers and spammers to task for making new sellers a bet not worth taking? As to whether I am selfish, please don't judge me. At least I did my own work, my own promotion and my own path. I did not whine for someone to make it easy for me. If you have no sales, look in the mirror.
  19. Now dark mode for the desktop website version would be a true...
  20. No she's right. Unfortunately there has been a literal flood of scammers and spammers from a very specific geographic location who steal from other sellers gigs, lie about their qualifications and then steal from buyers. Until a pay wall for sellers, or some other form of verification and vetting is put in place, we must assume that most new sellers are too risky, and should be avoided. Your disapproval should not be aimed a buyer who has been burned, and is now, therefore very cautious. You should be disappointed in the scammers from that certain location who are ruining it for all new sellers. I have not seen you take any of them to task here in the forums. Our advice remains, filter and purchase only from TRS/PRO or Level 2 sellers with over 200 5 star reviews.
  21. No, this is great blessing upon your gigs from Fiber Totem. Instagram!
  22. Dark Mode is finally here! Pray for me.
  23. That's not how Fiverr was designed to work, did you not understand the platform when you joined? It is "on demand." If you want to be romanced try www.eharmony.com
  24. Correct, most dietary supplements don't have an algorithm, but Fiverr does.
