Assalam o alaikum, so today we'll discuss some fiverr cons
00:06.8
00:13.8
and the first thing that i hate about fiverr is ' buyer is always right'
00:13.9
00:18.4
you heard it right, buyer is always right for fiverr
00:18.5
00:22.7
policies are very strict regarding this,even if seller is right
00:22.8
00:26.7
mistake is from buyer's end, even then buyer is right
00:26.8
00:32.1
Suppose you completed an order and delivered it, and buyer said, I don't like it
00:32.2
00:38.1
you did everything what buyer asked, but even then he said, I want to refund
00:38.2
00:40.6
even if it was 1000$ project, and you completed it
00:40.7
00:45.6
and fiverr will accept his refund request, take out money from your account
00:45.7
00:48.3
means it did not take out extra money from your account
00:48.4
00:52.1
whatever amount was decided, when its your turn to withdraw that amount
00:52.2
00:54.0
fiverr has that payment
00:54.1
00:58.3
when order is placed, fiverr take that amount from the buyer and keep it
00:58.4
01:01.1
and when order is completed, fiverr give that amount to the seller
01:01.2
01:05.9
but if buyer cancels the project, fiverr returns that amount to the buyer
01:06.0
01:10.9
I hate this thing too, even if you have proof of everything
01:11.0
01:14.3
that you've completed work from your end, even then fiverr will support the buyer
01:14.4
01:18.9
and secondly,I don't like Fiverr's customers support
01:19.0
01:23.9
because it takes about one to two days to get a reply
01:24.0
01:27.3
if someone is full time dependent on that platform,
01:27.4
01:31.8
if he faces any problem, then atleast his problem must be solved as soon as possible
01:31.9
01:34.5
but here you get their reply after one to two days
01:34.6
01:36.9
this platform has too much saturation
01:37.0
01:38.5
due to which these issues are faced
01:38.6
01:42.9
but I don't like their support, that's why I've included it in cons
01:43.0
01:46.0
atleast fiverr customer support must be improved
01:46.1
01:51.8
and the third thing is, fiverr can ban your account anytime
01:51.9
01:56.8
you've your gigs ranked, and then suddenly they derank
01:56.9
02:01.8
and then you came to know that your gig has been de-ranked, and issues begin to start
02:01.9
02:06.5
Or your gig is deleted due to minor issues
02:06.6
02:09.5
You will see that everyone has made that mistake
but only your gig was deleted
02:09.6
02:13.6
so the solution for this is, don't always depend on a single platform
02:13.7
02:17.9
keep on working on fiverr, and create an account on upwork too or
02:18.0
02:22.3
or do private freelancing,by using platforms like Facebook ,linkedIn
02:22.4
02:25.4
If you generate orders from these platforms, then you don't need to be dependent
02:25.5
02:30.1
May be you'll be demotivated, after struggling hard on fiverr
02:30.2
02:32.0
and then I am saying it has so many issues
02:32.1
02:34.7
but Issues are everywhere
02:34.8
02:37.1
your account will be banned by upwork too
02:37.2
02:42.0
Suppose you have done a mistake by mistake
02:42.1
02:44.0
means by mistake you have done a mistake
02:44.1
02:46.3
and your account got banned, what will you do then?
02:46.4
02:50.4
I am telling you all this, so that you should plan your future
02:50.5
02:52.8
so that you should have a backup
02:52.9
02:57.0
I don't want you to follow blindly
02:58.7
03:02.8
my complete course is not scripted, I made all this through my experience
03:02.9
03:08.2
I gave you some tips that are not even related to this course
03:08.3
03:11.0
but they are related to your freelance business
03:11.1
03:13.3
so i gave those tips too
03:13.4
03:15.8
so that you make a good career
03:15.9
03:20.8
I shared pros and cons, because I want that you should know the bright side
03:20.9
03:25.0
it has too much potential, you can earns thousands of dollars
03:25.1
03:26.9
you can earn
03:27.0
03:30.9
and your account can be banned as well, it can be banned anywhere at any platform
03:31.0
03:36.2
so the reason behind telling the pros and cons is that you should make a backup plan
03:36.3
03:41.5
don't depend only on one source and platform, make different earning sources
03:41.6
03:44.5
So that if lose one, you'd have a second option
03:44.6
03:47.8
you have your skill even if fiverr blocks you
03:47.9
03:50.8
of course you'd lost your struggle and time you spent but
03:50.9
03:55.5
but you didn't lost all the experience you gained, you dealt with so many buyers
03:55.6
03:58.7
your dealing and communication skill has been improved
03:58.8
04:01.3
you got practicle experience in you skill
04:01.4
04:08.2
if you start you career again from another platform, you'd not take the same amount of time
04:08.3
04:13.3
I'll say if something bad happens with you, even it happened with me
04:13.4
04:16.7
see the positve aspect of you failure
04:16.8
04:22.5
if you be positive, your mind will think positively, and your body will behave positively
04:22.6
04:27.4
and from your negative experience, you'll find positve reults in future
