I prefer transparency in pricing for the services listed in gig packages. I ensure that prices are clear and match the services described. The "contact me first" approach is only necessary for projects that exceed the scope of the listed packages. My main goal is to deliver high-quality work and ensure buyer satisfaction. If a higher quote is received, it's best to discuss the details with the seller to understand the pricing.

I have a preference for WordPress.

I totally agree that there are such unfortunate incidents where some buyers purposely make you do all the work and then try to scam you to get free work. Similar things have happened to me before, and that’s why I carefully choose who to work with and try to find out if someone is compatible before I decide to work with them. In the past, I’ve also encountered buyers who took my work for free, and nothing was done to protect me. Some buyers can find any loophole, even if there are none, and make up stories. It’s better to work with people who create a comfortable environment and are kind and avoid those who seem dominating and unprofessional.

Always steer clear of people who seem like they might not be real buyers. Genuine buyers will follow the platform’s rules.

Never work for free or let anyone treat you badly. Respect yourself and make sure you’re compatible with who you work with. Some people might take advantage of you, so learn to say ‘no’ to things that don’t benefit you.

Contacting the buyer outside of the platform is not allowed. It can affect your Fiverr profile.

Find clients in your niche by looking for them or using social media. Be consistent and always do your best.

We can't be sure that buyers will always message us when we use the promoted gigs feature. It might happen sometimes, but other times it might not. The marketplace is really busy, so anything could happen.

When you give someone their order, make sure it's just right and doesn't have any mistakes. If there are problems, there's a good chance they might cancel the order and ask for their money back.

It might take some time to get your first order. Fiverr is a very competitive marketplace. Keep working on yourself, your gigs and also do a lot of research about what would work the best for you.

You are doing great. It will take some time for you to be noticed the way you have dreamed of. You can check what others in your niche are doing and you can also take suggestions from this forum too. Eventually, you will gain a lot of experience in the freelancing journey. Every seller is unique in their own way. It is great that you are getting noticed faster.

My advice would be to reevaluate your gig descriptions and ensure that they are interesting and accurately represent your skills. You can consider optimizing your gigs for search engines, promoting your services on social media platforms by targeting specific buyers in your niche. A successful freelance career takes time and persistence.

It can take some time to get your first order on Fiverr, but there are things you can do to increase your chances. Improving your gigs and researching what works best on the platform can help. Additionally, you have come to the forum at the right time and can learn from the experiences of other sellers. Keep working on your gigs and don't give up, your first order will come.

You can request the client to view the files by using any other device. They can download the thumbnails on their laptop and view them. If the error still persists, you can rework on it.

You can work for free for anyone but you should never work for free. It is a waste of time and will not add much value.
