Earlier today I sent an offer to a buyer request. He literally messaged me saying thanks for being the only one who actually read and submitted a real response. He accepted the offer and I did the $5 logo design for him. He then thanked me again, left a $15 tip, and gave me 5 stars. His review for me was “Finally someone with personality and a willingness to put in work” or something along those lines. It just surprises me how much it pays off to actually read and submit a valid response to these requests, especially in the logo industry with a bunch of generic answers just trying to be first.
