[Communicating the Value of Your Gig to Buyers - UPYOUR]

For years I believed that the most successful freelancers were smarter than everyone else.

After meetings with hundreds of successful freelancers and freelance coaches, I can tell you that they’re not smarter.

They’re just good at selling themselves.👍

Hi @cr7siuuu,

@katakatica just explained - Fiverr doesn't allow sellers to contact other sellers asking for work. At all. It's against their ToS.

So this isn't a choice of sellers. It's Fiverr saying that you can't do that. If you see in my post above, I was trying to block a seller who was contacting me and Fiverr shut their account down. This means they are banned from ever opening an account with Fiverr again.

So don't contact other sellers asking for work, unless you want Fiverr to shut your account down and ban you from the platform forever.

You may only contact other sellers if you want to purchase their services.

I know it's forbidden. But there is no catch that I have to report or block.  If they bother more, that's a different matter. 😎 My main point is that asking for a job is not a big deal.  Someone wanted, I also wanted, I gave the job. But I didn't want to, I ignored it.  I see no reason to be so serious about it. 🤷‍♂️ Nothing will happen even if I give work to them, or nothing will happen if I don't.  It's not like someone asked me for work, and my order went down because of that.  Hope you understand.😉

You are right too.  If they bothers you too much, you should block or report them.  But if you are not interested in the initial situation, in that case, you should write something like "not interested or something else" and ignore it.  Because I have seen many freshers, who have been in fiverr for 6-7 months, but have not got any job.

That's happened to me several times now! Those follow-up messages always scare me because I'm not expecting them.

I finally put in a ticket for one of the unblockable sellers who has been spamming me for a year. He still didn't have a gig set up but was constantly asking for orders. I would block him (and the system would unblock him later on). CS closed that ticket by shutting down his account.

I don't think asking for work is a bad thing, if you have a lot of work, you can outsource it to someone for less price. It doesn't seem unfair to offer you here. 😪 If you like it, you can do it, if you don't like it, it's better to ignore it. Enjoy 🤭
