    So You Want to Hire a Writer - Should You ask for Samples?

    in Tips from Buyers

    Posted

    Very, very interesting post. Here is what I think.

    Sellers Who Give Samples, Don’t Care about Copyright or Client Confidentiality

    This is partially true. Some writers might be just starting out and do it just because they wouldn’t know any better. I think that would be fine to learn and grow in writing.

    What would NOT be fine is a seasoned writer who goes in and shares work from big companies, not having the right to do so.

    Also, although I do not recommend sharing previous work done for other clients, some clients do not end up really using what you’ve done (not because you’ve done a bad job but because they were unsure about their business ideas) so sharing some things wouldn’t be the end of the world.

    That said, I agree with you that it should not be done and that other methods should be used.

    “there are thousands of writers on Fiverr, your loss.”

    These are people who do not understand the value of human-vetted work. They think people on Fiverr are machines ready to churn through twenty articles in three days. The loss is on them for thinking about business and people this way.

    you can mitigate risks involved with purchases by looking at seller reviews. You can also send sellers a message to ask if they would be happy to work on your project.

    I find that a good brand image is the best indicator of quality on Fiverr. If a writer has 1000 reviews, but recycles the same “cutesy”, non-professional picture throughout their profile, I think of them as bulk writers, which is mostly the case. That doesn’t mean that they provide bad quality, it just means that they operate in a way which is not custom fit or specialized, which is generally not what a business would want. Maybe a small, non-savvy one, but definitely not big ones.

    But everyone can create samples FOR the purpose of sharing them with their clients. I don’t think it’s that hard to create 5 or so articles on the niches you cover to showcase your style, that you can publish on your blog to avoid stealing from clients.

    I mean, if you have to work that much for it, it’s much better to create a blog. It also shows expertise in areas other than writing.

    Overall, great topic guys. I learned a few things.

    Hello, there is no official way to link your website to Fiverr. You can do that on the Fiverr forums, but not on Fiverr itself. Fiverr only allows a handful of links to be placed on your gigs, which you can see here:

    The following URLs may be used in your profile or Gig description:

    Note: If you use a URL in your Gig, which is not in the above list, your Gig may be denied. Repetitive violations may also cause an account to be restricted.

    Do NOT link to your own website on Fiverr. That is an easy to way to get a warning from Fiverr themselves.

    Kind regards,

    Arrigo
