thank you so much, @Kesha 🥰😊

many thanks 😊 Yes, I use Cubase Pro 13 and keep it updated year after year because it's absolutely worth it. Each year brings even more incredible features, and I truly adore it—it's exceptional. I've been following it since its beginnings as software for the Atari ST computer in the late '80s. Later, it expanded to other platforms like Macintosh and PC. Now, on the PC, it's performing at its best, and I'm very pleased with Cubase on this platform. I have 64GBs of ram 😉

I was featured in 'Remixed' on Fiverr, where a select group of professional composers were invited to remix tracks, and I joined in with my remix, showcasing my talent—naturally incorporating orchestral sounds. It was an incredible experience, especially because I was the only one to take such an approach. Here's the video and the specific moment where I make my appearance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTZgvRjUM44&t=548s My best topics:

all wonderful hobbies!! thanks for the fantastic posts! 😊 I forgot to add that in the past I liked also to paint miniatures, exactly medieval lead miniatures. Depending the miniature, I used first a white spray (or a black spray with monsters) as base, then I used my brush with different colors. I'm not an expert, but it just relaxed me. I should start again painting miniatures 😊

hello, yes, you need months to obtain the first orders. the portfolio is very important, add examples so to show what you can do, to the customers.

hello, it took months for me as well, consider that there are many reaching those goals, but only the best of the best are chosen, I don't know exactly the stats for this, but probably a very small percentage. You have to focus and continue to bring quality and improve your stats.

Yes, consider that remote working will become more important in the next months, for different reasons (maybe also the pandemic situation). I believe that sooner or later this evolution of the jobs marketplace was destined to appear. It's linked also to new technologies, internet speed and multimedia companies needs. We have the honour to be in this wonderful transition moment 😊

exactly, I mean the risk is that the "let's try" philosophy attracts amateurs, ruining the marketplace and the reputation of specific roles. It's an open market but when you destroy the composers role (as example) giving your customers crap and they begin to think that it's fault of the entire category that works remotely, then it's a big problem.

very nice! 😊

this is very interesting. Indeed top stars are given not considering an absolute meter, but the satisfaction of the customer. as example in my field "music and audio" I received top stars for simple jobs, because they were exactly what the customers needed (they considered them "perfect") while in my demos I've got more complex sequences refused "as demos" by the same customers. In my field all is very subjective, so the real meter is the customer satisfaction.

yes I think more options should be opened so to have more data to match, but anyway I'm sure briefs will improve. I'm very positive in this way. It would be cool if we could receive in the next months briefs every day. I'm sure also more customers are needed.

I'm sure briefs will improve in the next months. It's a new service, it needs time to fine tune.

Ok, this is something easy but that many don't know: how to use the Top Keywords tool! This tool lets you find the 10 Top Keywords used to reach one of your GIGs, considering the impressions, clicks, orders etc etc There's a lot that can be studied, but the most important thing probably, is that you need: 1) to use those keywords inside the title of your GIG, to increase the impressions 2) doing the same for the tags, BUT (important), to have the best effect you must include (in the tags) keywords not used in the title, so to have a broader effect!

Yes, interesting topic. I give you an example: you know, graphic artists relax themselves listening to music, so what a musician like myself could do to relax? doing graphics! yes as hobby I work with graphics, 3d but I also like to paint.

as example in music and audio, a customer could ask you to sign an NDA. Unfortunately you must sign it, otherwise the customer will cancel the order. If not sure what to do, if signing or not, you can ask the Customer Service for some help.

really? I never noticed this, at least not in "music and audio". usually I received orders at the beginning and at the end of the month, not exactly with differences in quantity.

well, yes, it's more a generosity act, probably, but I would like to know how other musicians think of this 😀

ok it's all something automatic depending the stats. nothing can be done, except improving the stats.

2023 will be an impressive year for anyone of us, believe me 😊 remote working is solid, and it will improve and gain visibility in the jobs marketplace. This means Fiverr will be stronger and stronger! and we will have more options, features, and opportunities 😉

impressions go down fast if the stats are not good. there is nothing to study, think or complain 🙂 but there is a solution: improve the stats! means show your skills and talent, be constant with quality and reply fast to customers and your stats will improve.

actually staying online, if you don't have good stats, customers constanly sending you messages and requests etc etc is totally useless. BUT ok, this is something I'm known in the forum, and 90% disagree with me. I sleep just few hours and try to reply the most I can to customers worldwide and in different time zones. But it's something I've always done as freelancer, so it's not something specific for Fiverr.

I think that briefs are based on keywords, gig titles, and descriptions. I could be wrong of course 🙂

I like your smile 🙂 it's a good thing, a nice presentation and a very nice picture 😉

well, no secret, it's all in the profiles. In my case I'm a member since 2018 with 300+ orders. Initially it's difficult, you have to prove yourself, be constant in quality, professional work, timing. but if you continue to prove your talent, and improve your skills, day by day... 😉

you have to make a proposal to the customer, something attractive, with a decent (correct) price for that specific product, and at the same time explaining why he should choose you and not another one.
