Sometimes it is difficult for buyers to get a hang of things on Fiverr. And they might end up getting confused with all the different sellers and choices and gigs and extras and stuff that they have to probably go through before purchasing anything. Here are some tips to identify the right seller for you.
1. Check their reviews – obvious suggestion but still important. Look
for repeat buyers, a variety of people, reviews that say more than 2
words and the response the Seller gives.
2. Check their response time – not a conclusive factor but if the
other factors are in place, this is a good indicator too. How long it
takes for them to respond tells you how available they are.
3. Check their profile and see what gigs they offer – This is a good
indicator. What else do they offer, are they an “I can do everything”
Seller? If so then it is more likely that they are “Teenage Boy” types.
Having more than 2 different types of gig, for me, is kind of a red
flag. If they offer ten different types of writing or design work etc,
that’s fine, but trying to do a lot of unrelated things – unprofessional
and unlikely to be a master of any.
4. Contact them – If they are looking to get a $5 gig and promise the
world for it, then it’s a “Teenage Boy”. If they want to quote properly
by getting the details of your job and THEN send a price, then they are
at least somewhat more professional. They should also provide some
expertise, have some samples of their work etc.
5. Do they get involved on the Forum and how? This isn’t a definite
decider but can contribute to your decision. Are they constantly posting
about having no gigs or do they contribute to “society” with insight
and helpful advice, perhaps even advice specific to their niche.
