    It's really difficult to make jokes about Fiverr...

    Without coming across as a racist.

    I can do this. How much is you pay me ?"

              The question you should always ask yourself is: Is their English better than my Tagalog or Mandarin or French etc.?

              Race has nothing to do with what someone's native language is or how well they speak English as a second language.

              If you notice someone's English isn't great and wonder if that makes you seem racist...well, are you just maybe kinda racist? Because that really should not be a race issue.

                For custom drawings on the other hand, it's still one of the best places to get custom artwork done for very little money. Also quality voice-over audio recordings, for example.

                If you spend some time searching the platform, You might be surprised how many creative folks you'll find on Fiverr, even today. Sure, not for a "fiverr" like in the early years, but for only $50 to $100, it's still a steal.

                  You should hire me.

                  Finding a good writer from India, Pakistan, Serbia etc is like finding a needle in a haystack. I'd go as far as saying it's impossible. You'll waste more time and money testing "writers" and going through their shitty samples than you would if you hired someone competent. I know this from experience. Cheap writers are not good writers. In 2022, that's truer than ever.

                    We wanted to use a couple of the ebook types there but after searching through countless portfolios and finding several of our titles posted as their own work, we ended up sending around 100 DMCA notices instead.

                    The fucked up thing is, the people who run Fivver had no clue what a DMCA notice actually was so we had to send them to their upstream hosting provider instead for the copyrighted works to be removed.

                    Seems there is no policing of content their users post.

                      There's no sense in lying about it. Fiverr is basically a 3rd world site.

                          The biggest joke is that millions of idiots think they can get something worth a shit for $5.

                                To be fair back in the day before all the 'get rich quick' designers and developers took it over, you could get some decent work done in terms of promo videos, banner ads and even copy text these days though, it really is best just to hire someone in-house

                                If nothing else, its a good example of how a site promoted itself from nothing to being able to make millions of dollars a year by doing nothing at all except being live.

                                        Supermarkets use a business model that depends heavily on the concept of *Loss Leaders*

                                        I think that most businessmen, including myself, have sold something below our costs
                                        because we're trying to generate interest in the rest of our commercial affairs.

                                        So yes... I do believe I should be able to get something for $5

                                        I'm not expecting 20 hours of video editing with CGI for $5 but equally I don't think
                                        asking for a simple graphic or a 15 second webcam jingle is too much to ask for.

                                          Seoclerk and Fiverr are totally occupied by Pakistani and Bangladeshi "Sirs".
                                          And all of them are experts of course.
                                          After several "wars" after buying SEO services and getting my money back later by Paypal's buyer protection, I closed my accounts on both sites.

                                            I think that most businessmen, including myself, have sold something below our costs
                                            because we're trying to generate interest in the rest of our commercial affairs.

                                            So yes... I do believe I should be able to get something for $5

                                            I'm not expecting 20 hours of video editing with CGI for $5 but equally I don't think
                                            asking for a simple graphic or a 15 second webcam jingle is too much to ask for.

                                              Thats the cost of the freelancers using their platform though to get put in front of millions of potential buyers of their services each day/week/month.

                                              Would they generate any sales 'in house' if they were not on Fiverr for that same dollar commission? How much would it cost these individuals to generate a sale on thier own using more traditional advertising methods?

                                                Obviously all of that is true. I'm not arguing those points.

                                                It's just something to consider when searching for talent on Fiverr. $5 for a a quick job is already laughably low. But $4 is what they're actually getting paid.

                                                  Oh I'm not arguing the fact is a pittance, at least from our viewpoint in the US.

                                                  $4 actually works out to a good wage in many Third World countries, india for example has an average monthly wage of $110, when broken down, its clear to see why many in these countries flood to freelance sites to make money.

                                                  I also wonder of those that get work that is sub-par, how many people actually cancel and request the $5 back, given that it really is so little to most and many of the freelancers on there will at least attempt to 'fix' issues.

                                                      Yeah, but from India you'll get mostly freelancers like those mentioned in the OP. "Sirs" and such, especially when it comes to "writers"

                                                      You're better off keeping your 5 bucks.

                                                        We know that, but im sure the thousands of 'new' business owners looking to get their logo, website, banner ads etc for cheap dont... As one of my neighbors says on a regular basis 'they gonna learn though' LOL

                                                          I get "Hello Sir" all the time. I have a pic avatar that clearly shows me being female, plus the name's Natalie, can't really be 2 ways about it... but oh well. I've given up correcting them. In truth, making jokes about Fiverr is like making jokes about a comedy show - it's already funny as it is.

                                                            How is that my problem or concern when I'm the buyer?

                                                            some other way.


                                                            That's how business works....

                                                            When, for whatever reason, you don't like how one company is doing business, you then take
                                                            your money to a different one.

                                                            Which is most likely the reason that Fiverr has become a 3rd world site.

                                                            But once again that's neither my problem nor my concern.

                                                              Sellers that don't want to kick back 20% can go someplace else or market themselves
                                                              some other way.


                                                              That's how business works....

                                                              When, for whatever reason, you don't like how one company is doing business, you then take
                                                              your money to a different one.



                                                              Which is most likely the reason that Fiverr has become a 3rd world site.

                                                              But once again that's neither my problem nor my concern.
                                                              I didn't say it was your fault. But it should be your concern, since you're obviously looking to purchase something you can use.

                                                              When hiring someone for a quick job, ask yourself, what kind of competent individual is willing to complete a project for $5 - 20%?

                                                              Like blackmonsters said, thinking you can purchase something good for $5 is a joke. Thinking you can buy something good for $5 - 20% commission is even funnier.

                                                                    I need to establish confidence and a working relationship with someone BEFORE I trust
                                                                    them enough to fork over a substantial sum of money.

                                                                    So the "loss leader" approach works for me.

                                                                    Let me see what someone can do and how professional they are. If I like their work and
                                                                    how they conduct business then I'm willing to try them out on a more expensive project.

                                                                    But when someone I don't know is charging me a similar price that people I already do
                                                                    business with...

                                                                    of giving someone new a shot.

                                                                    Give me a deal and I'll give you a shot.... Don't give me a deal and I'll keep using my guys.
