Shouldn't you supposed to set availability on profile ?
So new client's can't message.29 minutes ago, uk1000 said:Like was said, you could have gone to unavailable mode or paused a gig if you weren't available.
Though if there was another reason that you didn't want to do his project (eg. if there might be a copyright/trademark reason or technical reason) you could have let him know that so might have reacted differently. eg. an Iron Man video that was not a parody might have been a copyright/trademark problem.
I like to decide on a per-project basis, sometimes I can squeeze in smaller projects that fit my schedule, this seemed like a project I didn't have time for.

I believe that you were too biased.
The client was clearly an admirer of birds, and he merely tried to inform you that a hawk flew off in his area. He just made a spelling error.
Now, not only did you miss out on making the big monies but also, the opportunity to watch a glorious hawk in flight.
I think you're right, in fact he was getting increasingly enthusiastic about it:

My condoleances. From your post I can tell he was a kind and inspiring man. Indeed, we should take time for ourselves and enjoy the moment, especially us freelancers (who tend to sometimes get tangled up in all these projects and deadlines).
I wish you and your family strength to cope with the terrible loss!-

I always disliked the forced 'I will...' format. I understand they wanted to create some unity in the various offerings on Fiverr but it adds unnecessary fluff. I think it's much better to just describe the service outright, like:
Logo design for SMB
Voice over
Video editing for social media
etc.-

As an individual seller you can offer shorter communication times; in agencies or larger companies, clients are often connected to a project manager who then has to relay feedback to the design team. Efficiency and speed are your strengths because you're more flexible than a large company.
Larger companies have more overhead, leading to relatively high prices for smaller projects. Individual freelancers -hopefully- have fewer business expenses, so you'll probably win over the smaller clients by competing on price.
You may not always be able to beat them for the bigger, high-end clients, because you lack the manpower and versatility, but you will be able to generate a steady revenue in your niche with returning, smaller clients.-

Not software, but check out The Animators Survival Kit by Richard Williams
This book teaches you the basic principles of animation. Understanding the basics of animation is much more important than the software.-

I rather have fiat currency at the moment, I can always buy crypto with USD if I want to.
Until there is good regulation in the crypto sphere, and there is protection in place against scammers, money laundering and tax evasion, I don't expect crypto as payment method anytime soon.-

You have consider everything to analise something, for example, but reality still…
I am from a third world country, and $5 is kind a good money here.
A new seller have to low your offer, because a buyer will not buy something from a non rating new seller, if the seller has a 5.0 rating at least. Of course, some buyer will buy something from a new seller, i am not generalizing that, but you must have a good reputation after all.
So then, not always a composer is charging $5 because he is does not know the time which takes to compose something and his hard work.
But that’s what I said, either a seller is from a third world country (where cost of living is lower) or pricing themselves lower in order to get that first 5* rating.

Well if I ever need an animator…I know who to ask and will expect to be charged accordingly 🙂
You’re welcome anytime!
I just checked your profile and I noticed you actually have a Pro Verified badge. That hopefully should attract clients who don’t expect $5 prices. So I don’t think you have a lot to fear from cheaper sellers.

Thanks for your replies (wow - that was quick!) I completely agree with you both @cc_animation and @teachernita . The trouble is, are there people on Fiverr who do actually pay proper, sustainable prices? I guess may be time will tell (unless anyone on here can save me the time lol!)

Some are, but regular buyers might have gotten used to the relatively lower prices compared to ‘normal’ freelance rates.
Your mileage may vary so it’s worth a shot, if you’re looking to expand your clientele and income stream. For me it offers a nice side income. (And I don’t have $5 gigs 😉 )

On Fiverr you’re competing with sellers from third world countries, hobbyists or beginning freelancers who don’t know how to value themselves.
Some deliberately undersell themselves in order to get gigs and reviews, knowing full well that $5 is unsustainable.I’d stick to your own pricing. There are buyers looking for quality and who are willing to pay normal prices.

Hi,
I’ve started on Fiverr this month and created some gigs.
Some may be more in demand than others, but in the meantime I was wondering what I could do to optimize my gigs and improve click-through rates? Suggestions are welcome, thanks!Profile: https://www.fiverr.com/cc_animation
Also, there are very few buyer requests in my categories (less than 5 on average), is that normal?

Zoom Meeting

Is there a way to get a shareable link before joining/starting a meeting (in case another person wants to join in on the call)? I don't see a way to share the call invitation, only a Join button for the client.
