As a seller, firstly they will let you run your services as long as you need, charging the most famous highest rate ever of 20% and another from the Buyer. In my experience, they would anytime suspend your gigs and kick you out especially when their algorithm makes your gigs shine on top of Buyer choices "unless" you start to "spend" what you earned on their platform, promoting your gigs, or taking training or whatsoever! The simplest way of doing it is picking up the easiest reason "Not complying with our Community Standard / Integrity / Policy " !! A policy that I doubt any of their staff read or understood! Or whatever comes on their way !! They tend to find all the ways to diminish your business and they would accept anything from anyone of their Buyers that helps on that as long as it is against you! P.S: Their decisions cannot be "undone" and not "discussable." As a Buyer, nothing special on the platform except a huge enormous security system that hinders innovation and the proper discussions with Sellers !! On another similar platform, you can Video call the Seller through any meeting app! In Fiverr, the maximum would be to find a data entry specialist! They are trying to expand .. true, but with their mentality in how business and innovation are being managed, how would you expect to have a Business Plan through a seller from the USA, who is not vetted and probably staying in Bangladesh and not the cute lady that you see her profile photo! Only cause the platform reads the IP address, easy to bluff!
Without hesitation, we can recommend this program, as it has allowed us to have the best remote staff we have had in the company. YouTeam always responded to any eventuality that may arise and was always attentive to our requirements and demands.
Creating competition to work on one's projects. There are thousands of service providers on the site. As a result, any request for service will receive multiple responses. Also, Fiverr does a great job in vetting sellers with a star system that will gauge everything from response times to order delivery.
The communication and transactions systems set up by Fiverr are straightforward and seamless. Once you're engaged with your sellers, messaging between the two parties can be done through an inbox or on the order page. Payments are handled by Fiverr by placing a credit card on file.
Fiverr does a great job of exposing a buyer or a seller to an international audience.
Fiverr allows me to accumulate a list of my best sellers so that I can maintain contact and easily access their services again if needed.
As a seller, I'm exposed to a range of potential customers that would have not been within my reach otherwise.
It has very efficient consultants who ask the perfect questions so that the shortlisting of candidates is exactly what we are looking for. I also like that the whole process is done in a maximum of one week. That is, we already have the qualified personnel hired and working in one week.
The program gives us in a short time a list of all the candidates, with all the information we need about them, so that we can choose the ones we want to interview.
It has a large database of expert engineers in different areas such as big data, web development, applications, and more, so we have benefited from the expert staff they have offered us.
We had drawbacks with some of the selected people, but the YouTeam team quickly helped us with the drawback by providing a new list.
In the introductory interview, they overlooked to ask the location; that's why the list they sent was of candidates who did not have the same time zone, making remote work more complicated.
Although they guarantee that those hired will stay for an average of 2 years, the truth is that we lost a good employee in less than that time.
Over the years, I've tried Freelancer, Guru, and Truelancer, but none of them measured up to Fiverr and I've long since abandoned trying to find a competitor. My relationship with Fiverr is on automatic pilot.
The investment is worth it, taking into account that the program is very fast and allows us to save a lot of time; in a few days, we already have, in our ranks, expert developers working for us, increasing our productivity and our profits.
