  1. Hi Abrar, your link doesn't work, so I can't offer advice there. But let's dive into what you told us so far: You do Data Entry, Lead Generation, Virtual Assistant and Marketing. Those are very diverse offerings (except marketing and lead gen, which to many people are the same thing). Let's break it down 1 by 1: Data Entry is a dying industry (or already dead, depending on who you ask). Artificial intelligence can now do this for free. It is also very mindless and requires no skill, meaning it's a race to the bottom on price against anyone competent enough to use the internet. This is why you aren't seeing any orders for this service. Virtual Assisting is a specialized job that many other people have made their entire careers. It sounds like English is not your first language, and communication is absolutely critical in this field, so I assume that if you're trying to find an English-speaking customer, this will be a struggle too. Lead gen and marketing is a very complex field that encompasses many different fields within it. Concepts like social media marketing, SEO, copywriting, UX, sales funnels, web design, cold emailing, video production, CRM setup, and other stuff are all within this industry. Saying you do lead generation and marketing are simply too broad. It's like opening a restaurant that specializes in "food." Nobody is going to want to visit your restaurant because they don't know which niche you're an expert in, so they have no idea if you're a fit for them or if you can even help. Hope this has been helpful. If you get a better link for your profile I'll check that out too.
  2. Hi Fiverr. I live in a house with several roommates. We all use the same WiFi. One of my roommates is interested in creating an account and becoming a freelancer. Since we are using the same WiFi, will this set off some flags? And more broadly, I am wondering about something else in the same area. Say I go to Starbucks to get some Fiverr work done. Someone else at Starbucks also happens to be using Fiverr, obviously on the same WiFi as well. Will this cause me problems? What about using Fiverr via WiFi on my phone, will this cause the same problems? Should I try not to use Fiverr in public? Should I go on airplane mode before I enter Starbucks? Thanks.
  3. It's a scam. Why would someone think you would be a good fit for this job? They are just getting your hopes up. Also you can find someone to do these very easy tasks for like $5-$10 an hour no problem. They don't even say the name of their business lol.
  4. This is 100% a scam. Don't violate the terms of service for this guy. When in doubt, listen to your gut, it is a scam.
  5. I've been on Fiverr since 2015 and I liked to think I was too smart to get scammed. I still think that, and still haven't been, but here's a scam I've been approached with twice now and I fear he will be successful with one of you guys, so let me protect you. Both times I've been approached with this, the guy has conveyed they he represents "HYPD Publishing," so if you see that, you can be 99.9% sure this is a scam. Then the guy goes on to ask for a "chat-to-chat" interview in order to come off as a legitimate business. Then there's some very random seeming interview questions where he'll ask if "you're a team player" and "tell me about a time where you were a good listener." The whole interview takes about 15 minutes. Of course, after some delays it turns out I "passed the interview" and then proceeds to "onboard" me to his company. He then asked to pay me via check, which is a huge violation of Fiverr terms. From here he'll try to get you on s***e or Whatsapp, again violating the terms of service. He says he wants to pay for certain pieces of software "required for the job" and he said he will send me a digital check. He then tries to start collecting banking information under the guise of sending this check. To receive a check in the real world, you don't need to know someone's bank, or routing number, or email address. You just need the person's name. So don't fall for this. His English is not the best, but if you speak English as a second or third language you may not notice. Beware!
