Before You Begin
So! Yesterday you heard about Fiverr….today, let's focus on using Fiverr as a buyer.
The thing is, just like everywhere in life, you can have wonder experiences or scammy experiences. But the good news is that you can train yourself to adroitly avoid those pitfalls!
Let's begin with:
Step 1 – Review Seller's Feedback
Thinking about buying a gig?
First…check out their feedback!
You'll always be able to find out their feedback at
www. fiverr . com/(name)
ie,
You can see the numbers of orders in queue, how long the turn around time is, etc.
Regarding feedback, remember too – it can always be faked.
However, you should be able to get a good sense for how dependable the individual is.
Next,
Step 2 – See How New The Gig Provider Is.
Notice when the person joined Fiverr.
So, if the person just joined and has 456 gigs listed….one would think, take another detailed look-see.
Always keep your eyes open for things that appear too good to be true.
They probably are.
And finally:
Step 3 – See If The Product *Itself* Is Too Good To Be True
Are you being promised 20 uniquely written articles that pass a Copyscape test?
How on earth could that be done without using spin software that might fool search engines…but not the people who judge your blog?
Are you being promised a unique niche website that will rank in zillions of dollars?
How will you get the traffic to it?
Always but always apply the same caution to Fiverr that you should apply to IM in general!
Some excellent articles about this include:
- Beware – New Scammers Lurking on Fiverr
- Fiverr Gigs – Which Ones Are Real?
- Fiverr – Home of the Scammers and Spammers
- Fiverr Scammed Me $20
- Fiverr Writing Gigs? Be Cautious!
As always…an educated consumer is the best bet!
In Closing
Fiverr can be an excellent way to get quality work done for a very cheap price indeed…but like everything else on this planet, scams do abound.
Do your due diligence. Your future success will thank you for it.
Grow strong,
