Wow, that is so weird to me! Wherever you look for work, you can consult like a "wanted board" where employers advertise their needs and you can apply and be accepted or rejected. Here I have to wait for someone to see my profile, which I must promote like crazy to enhance my chances of being picked over thousands and thousands of others... So i spend more of my time promoting myself than actually working! I guess that is not the platform for me...

Hi I am new to this so please excuse me if my questions sound kind of stupid to you but I just don't get it. I am registered on a number of freelance work platforms (Upwork and such). On those platforms, I can actively search for work and apply for jobs that are advertised on the platform. Am i missing something or is this not possible on Fiverr? I can't seem to find a job posting board of any sort. Am I supposed to just promote my profile and wait for someone to contact me? Also, out of the 30 or so messages I received these past couple of weeks, 99% of them were fake! Is that normal? This site is so counter intuitive, I don't get it! Any insight?

Hi I am a new freelancer offering transcription services. Can I actively offer my services for projects or do I have to wait for buyers to contact me? I have been contacted by a couple of people already but I am pretty sure they are not real (asked to communicate outside the platform with a Gmail address, which I read is a big red flag!) so instead of waiting and getting those kinds of messages, I would like to be proactive and looks for buyers myself. thanks

Hi I have been trying to set "seller" as a default status but every time I log in it keeps on coming back to "buyer". What do I do?
