  1. How else do we grow? By finding ways to overcome the challenges of being a new seller, without placing the responsibility for your success on other people. It’s not up to the buyers to give new sellers the benefit of the doubt. It’s up to the sellers to make the sale, despite not having reviews to back up their work. I did it. I started with no reviews. I think I’ve had success on Fiverr because I don’t fall into that victim mindset, blaming buyers for not buying for me. Anyone who takes responsibility for their own success will have success.
  2. That’s the way of business, I’m afraid. Everyone has to start at the bottom and find ways to break into the market. I don’t feel bad for choosing an experienced seller.
  3. I did look at the content of the reviews, but I was more impressed with the fact that they had many more positive reviews than negative ones. The few negative ones she had were upset that she used a stock image, when it literally said she would do that in the gig description, so I realized they were just the types of buyers no one could please. I was actually skeptical of gigs with no negative reviews at all. Which worries me now that I’m a seller, because I don’t have any negative reviews yet! I worry it makes me look fake, because that was my thoughts when I didn’t see any negative reviews.
  4. I started on Fiverr as a buyer. I bought book covers here. I remember I was put off by super low prices. I thought that if anyone was selling graphic design skills for so cheap then they must not be very good. I looked for lots of reviews. I didn’t know anything about the badges, so I ignored those. I remember being pulled in by the seller’s name. It was short and catchy and told me exactly what they did. I don’t want to call them out (even though they’re awesome!) so I’ll just say it was "Pro[insertsomething related to book covers]) I liked that they had a professional gig video. I’d never hired anyone over the internet and was worried about scammers. Being able to see her face and hear her talk did a lot to make me trust that this was a legit person. I feel like scammers would be as anonymous as possible. They had packages that clearly outlined exactly what was included and lots of gig extras. It looked really professional to me. They had lots of great reviews and only a few negative ones. They’d been on fiverr for a decent amount of time. I think those are all of the reasons that I picked that seller to work with.
