- Hey Fiverr, just wanted to get this off my chest.
But seriously, if you’ve tried fiverr and not found much success or just dislike how they operate or are just interested in some other ways of bringing in business as a freelancer then definitely check this video out, where I look at 8 ways freelancers can get new business.

To do what!?
Just got made a fiverr pro - took 3 years... made over 60k... yet hate every single aspect of fiver. Thankfully, its dying so time to find something else to do.
Agree 100% I’m a level 2 seller on Fiverr and that’s exactly how I feel… Can’t wait to get out of it and work my way into real freelancing
I love it. Been on fiverr for 2 years made great money and clients, but with the one sided review penalties and the fact that you get unofficially penalized for ANY metric dropping is just too annoying. Couple that with bottom feeders and scammers and the site is truly a race to the bottom.
Fiverr is for the standards of morality and business in the country I come from on the level of the gypsy fair.
Yes! I was doing well with the Early Payout option and suddenly they penalized me for I don't know why. I tried having a chat with fiverr's support, but they won't tell me because that info is not supposed to be disclosed with sellers.
You just got a subscriber ❤…. I’m glad to be on this journey with you
Nice one!
Nice one Jim. I felt the passion booming out of my speaker
Buddy . You are absolutely right .
I love the TH-cam algorithm. Your 209th subscriber 🙌🏽
Thanks for subbing!
I use to make thousands on Fiverr selling services I could copy/paste for multiple clients. Anytime someone wanted something new I would make it, then add it to my list of stuff.
I only had to make a unique thing once for each niche & it worked VERY well, it was piss easy. I only stopped after getting banned & not caring enough to do it again.
Now I just use Fiverr to find people to hire. Personally I hate the platform, I always try to take business off Fiverr as soon as possible because Fiverr's chat app sucks, & they don't support anonymous payment methods like Monero. Though I personally agree with most things Fiverr does, paying for a boosted listing seems perfectly fair, 20% cut, a bit excessive but its their service so if you don't like it, don't use it.
So while I agree with their business practices, it won't stop me from personally hating them as a company.
Thankfully you didn't pushed away the laptop from the table, Jim! Tension was building! :D
I am not sure how in these days Fiverr works, as I been there for awhile back in the days when... They introduced PRO's section and via custom interviewing you were able to appear among "pro's" in the field, handpicked. Think of it like "Premium" freelancers catalogue. Sounded worth trying to gain extra reach and attention at the time.
Did it worked out as described? Damn hell no :D As an additional problem to the platform itself, the users base using it... Forgive me for definition, but very often than not are... Well, lets say blind bargainers, as softly as I can name them. As a result, "clients" were browsing Pro's section and expected casual $5 pricing - EVEN THOUGH costs are listed as gigs - 9/10 situations. Thus, sometimes the platform itself can run into a loophole of cheapness, and whatever it tries to do - that sticker remains in most cases :))
Not you again 😂. thanks for the info, that’s interesting. I was just working with a guy who would put so much work into fiverr with 0 return. Obviously I’m not saying all freelancing sites should be avoided especially when you’re starting out there a good route in but from what I can see fiverr is just interested in buyers not sellers. I mean it’s called fiverr who do you think that’s benefiting 😂
@@jim-friend the moment when you checked the comments with fingers crossed that there is a new viewer around the block.. Sorry, Jim! :D
Fiverr could be good in some cases, but in most - its even harmful to the overall environment of freelancing :)
@@Tom10 hahaha
agreed, lets start the revolution! Question is... what is the alternative? Maybe we create a crypto based freelancing system where all reviews and conversations are public including blackmail comments? (scratch that idea actually... but you get the idea.... just start coming up with ideas, post it here :))
"Your" client is Fiverr's customer, not your customer. The sooner you realize that the better. They obviously want to be the Amazon of freelancing (even Fiverr's choice badge is awkwardly similar to Amazon's choice). It doesn't mean you can't use the platform to your advantage.
How do I vote Jim for President?
I just cant understand how a designer living in the United States can compete(economically wise) with some one living in Pakistan.
Amazing video jim. I am agreed with you.
Thanks mate 😀
You're channel so underrated. Wanna run some ads ?
Really good video! I'd hire you on Fiverr as a video creator :)
Hahahaha
But if you want you can hire me
😂😂😂your video was awesome 🌟
Glad you liked it!!
Very well said and executed bro 😂
Nice one Shaghil!
Bro 😂✌️
Loved it.....
Thanks Fawad!
Fiverr is the worst platform in the entire world
Yep!
And that without mentioning the 15 DAYS YOU NEED TO WAIT after EACH completed order. Fiverr can eventually give you the Early Payout option, but will take it away without telling you why
They banned my account with 300+ 5 star reviews without even any warnings or reasons. I still don't know what I did wrong.
😂Real funny. Also isnt it true for every corporation, also for the corp you will be owning someday.
you forgot to mentition that clients with bad intetions can ask for their money back after the freelancer spend days doing the job, fiverr customers services is a sh1t for the freelancers they wont ever check the work and all the conversation, they will cancel the order and give the cash back to the custumer
Yeah! it's built for customers not sellers
Hello sir!
How to get people that will give me job on fiverr
Facts
hahhahhah nice attitude in the video, very funny, hahahahha
Glad you liked it!
Lol i havent even get 1 gig in 6 months
Sorry to hear that mate!
You suggest another freelancing platform?
I'm going to review some other platforms on this channel, out of interest what service are you offering?
@@jim-friend I'm video editor and graphics designer
@@sakhis5762 Oh nice! I'm interviewing over 50 freelance creatives at the moment. video editors, designers, etc. Asking them how they got their first job. how they go about finding work hopefully that will be useful for getting new work !
@@jim-friend thank you.
did you get the clout?
aw you're just mad bro 🤣🤣
im annoyed because I completely disagree with you but I absolutely love your video work here. This is really well made video haha!
Not sure if this is a joke video or....
Yeah, was on the fence with this one 😬
No joke. This is happening.
I was one of the first top sellers on there and it very quickly went to shit to be fair. Too much power to the customers and an over-saturated market happened around 2014-15 and it just wasn't worth it anymore.
No for real, Fiverr ruined the freelancing.
