[What's Your Talent / Passion?]

Cool shots Stefan.

I like playing the guitar, taking pictures of everyday life and writing treatments for imaginary sitcoms.

Thank you Frank. Great passions you have. The writing seems really interesting!

Chess is something I picked up during lockdown and have become addicted.

It’s a great way to build your strategy skills. I learnt how to play chess only during lockdown as I was curious about it after watching “Queen’s Gambit”

Those photos are awesome! Usually, I just play the piano, do puzzles, and walk outside if I have a moment.

Thank you! I see that many of you can play an instrument. I’ve always wanted to learn but sometimes time just flies. Did you begin learning when you were a child or there is always a chance to be able to learn how to play an instrument?

Being that you’re interested, I’d like to share a passage from one of our travels:

It was nice of you to share this. When I have time, I love reading and I love writing too. However, it’s just a way to free my thoughts and I rarely have shown anything to anyone.

I like the style of your writing and how the story engages with the readers and makes you think about it.

I was 14 when I started learning, and I’ve only played it for four years. I’m already at an advanced piano playing level, so yes, you can definitely play even if you’re older. Especially if you’re not aiming to become a professional player, you can start at any age. It’s very rewarding!

[Okay SELLERS, let's talk about private reviews]

Hmm. The wording of two of the private feedback questions heavily lean towards certain responses and retracts from others.

The “How would you rate the overall quality” question really shouldn’t have “Perfect” as the top rating, as perfection is virtually impossible to achieve, and should have something more realistic like “Very Good,” “Wonderful,” “Excellent,” etc.

And the “How closely did this delivery meet your expectations” question should have a “Nearly As Expected” as option 4, “As Expected” as the top normal option, and "Exceeded Expectations as a bonus sort of 6 out of 5.

With the current wording, if a seller completes an order as expected and does a very good (but not “perfect”) job, they would receive a 4/5 and another 4/5. And we all know that, unfortunately, anything under 5 stars has some sort of detrimental impact tied along with it.

Also, I don’t like how generic the private reviews are… the buyer isn’t able to provide a reason why they rated the way they did.

[Is it possible to refund half of the money back to the buyer?]

So - and pardon me for not understanding it - why would anyone order 24 illustrations and then just decide they don’t like it. Did they know your style beforehand?

I feel that they might be either scamming you (to get back some of their money but still use your illustrations) or they haven’t even checked your samples (or of course, without seeing what you have done for them, what you provided did not match up 100%. It’s hard to say without seeing both sides.)

I’d try to see where they come from (you’ve already done your job twice) and possibly contact support if it gets bad. Would definitely worry about them using your work AND getting some of their money back. (But it could be anything of course.)

Yes, I agree; few legitimate buyers would immediately start off with a long-term project.

[Welcome & Intros 🎤]

Hello,
I’m a classical pianist and composer. Although I am waiting until I’m a little more confident on Fiverr/have access to better recording equipment to post any music gigs, I have been passionate about classical music for a long time.
The story behind my discovery of piano is a bit lengthy, but I’ll try to keep it short. Even though I have always loved classical music since I watched an orchestra on television at 6, I had special needs that restricted me from being able to learn to play. I finally was able to start music at 14 (after working really hard, my special needs have been compensated for), but something didn’t click as I tried to do more pop-based genres. Fortunately, some videos reintroduced me to classical music, and I have made some surprising progress. I am at RCM Level 8 after 4 years (including starting at 14), and I am working on Chopin’s Revolutionary Etude as of now.
Alright that wasn’t short at all… sorry haha.

[7 days gone still have no new order]

@designbuzz96 @asmitasharma04 @parveg678403 This happens because the gigs have a “rotation” where they are circulated back and forth from the front and back pages. Honestly, the best thing to do is be patient and wait for your gigs to go back to the front. In the meantime, you can SEO your gigs and profile, respond to buyer requests that are a good fit, etc.
