Illustrators on Fiverr

Hey Fiverrtastic blog readers,
Sorry it's been forever. I have been super busy with gigs. I am a Fiverr seller and a Freelance writer outside of this blog. Hiring an illustrator on Fiverr can be a fun, but also a daunting task. I have illustrator friends on Fiverr, but they all took vacation. I looked high and low for an affordable illustrator for my new children's book "My Friend Has Epilepsy" now available on Amazon Kindle and Smashwords. Check it out today. I only needed a black and white illustration and I could do the rest. I hired Fiverr seller Ella_banana to do some of the illustrations and I was amazed by her work. It was in a manga or chibi type style, but it was very professional. Her ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) is really long, but her work is well worth the wait. She produced some amazing work and I colored it in with Photoshop. :) Here, check out the illustrations she did. I don't think I have the colored versions on this new laptop. If I find them on my old dinosaur laptop I will update the blog.  (I had to get a new laptop in the last few months because the charging adapter messed up on the Asus. Go figure. I have bad luck with laptops). Check out the illustrations below.

She did a really good job creating the illustrations I asked for and if  I had the money to hire her for the entire book I would have. I used clip art for some of it and the end result turned out good. The book is called "My Friend Has Epilepsy" by Joshua Peck and it's on Kindle. It's an easy read and it's very informative. Check it out today. It will soon be on Audible and other ebook sites too. I don't really have any suggestions for Ella_banana but to maybe change up her gigs or add more every now and then and decrease the ETA. Besides that her work and her gigs are amazing. They are a must order. The next blog I will discuss a voiceover gig I ordered. There are plenty of things you can get for $5, but if you pay a little extra and are willing to order multiple gigs you will get amazing service. Until next time have a Fiverrtastic day.

Looking for a unique gig

Hey Fiverrtastic peeps,
I totally forgot to write about this Fiverr experience. I reordered from Uniquefivex recently for my website and I was blown away by what I received. I have ordered from her before and the gig was phenomenal. Uniquefivex has been on Fiverr for a long time now, for over 3 years, almost since the conception of Fiverr. That's about as long as I have. If you want an awesome whiteboard or speedwriting gig she's the person to order from. Check out the video below. Sorry the blog is so short, I will write again really soon. Check out what's happening over on Fiverr's blog, their actually going to be launching a TV commercial. Until next time have a Fiverrtastic day.

Double the fun

Hey Fiverrtastic Peeps,
Ok so I have reviewed this Fiverr seller once before, but I really wanted to review them again. I ordered off them for my Custom Creationz site and they made an awesome testimonial. The seller is 2 twins known as Theadtwins. These 2 are amazing beyond words. They created a testimonial for me like you wouldn't believe. I absolutely love their work and I would order off them constantly if I could. These girls do quality work. If you want an awesome testimonial check out their gig today. When I first ordered off these two they were level one sellers I believe. With the help of my blog, facebook fan pages, and various other blogs they became a top rated seller. I am so proud of these two. Here is the video I received, check it out now.

I honestly don't have any suggestions to make the gigs better. You're doing a great job.  Thank you for being so awesome. Hope to work with you again soon. Have a good day Fiverrtastic peeps.

Professor Puppet strikes again

Ok so as you all know I am working on getting traffic to my website and creating awesome videos with Top Rated Sellers. One Fiverr seller I think is awesome is Professorpuppet. He is a very talented testimonial actor and videographer on Fiverr. I have written about him once before and plan to order off him sometime in the near future possibly. So what was the video I ordered from him you ask. Well let me show you:

I think the professor deserves a standing ovation for what he created. He has superb talent and anyone who can have a motorcycle accident and come back working on projects so quickly I admire. Thank you Mark for the job well done and may our paths cross really soon. I have no pearls of Fiverr wisdom for you like I do others. You're doing things right and you're an inspiration to myself and others in the Fiverr community.Next time I will discuss theadtwins again. Until then have an awesome day Fiverrtastic peeps.

They call her Shiftypop

Hey Fiverrtastic peeps,
So there's this Fiverr seller I was following for a red hot minute named Shiftypop. She's pictured above. If you haven't heard of her yet you're really missing out. She's a musician on Fiverr with that flare and pizazz missing from a lot of the music artists on here. She does catchy jingles in an upbeat electronica style and believe me she does an awesome job. I ordered a jingle for my website www.choosecustomcreationz.com and I was extremely impressed. The only thing is I didn't get a "video" like in her gig. I got just an audio snippet with my company name in the background. For $5 it was still worth it, but I was expecting just a little more. She delivered in like a little over a day though so I was like holy hell that's more than worth it. I expected to wait most or all of the estimated time period so I'm not going to complain. 

Ok so I sent her a snippet of lyrics, like a simple 30 word verse and she delivered an amazing upbeat jingle. I enjoyed working with her and I would definitely work with her again. I don't think I have any suggestions for her on how to improve her gigs. Just keep doing what she does and change the videos and gigs regularly. Pause or delete ones that aren't selling and keep pumping out good quality deliveries for the gigs she's doing well.

Ok so here is the jingle I received and if you want a jingle like this go to this link

Thank you shiftypop for this amazing jingle and hope to work with you again soon. Fiverrtastic blog and Custom Creationz thank you very much. Next blog I will be reviewing Professor Puppet again. It's been a long while since I reviewed him. He did an amazing video for my website and I was extremely impressed by it. He did just as good or better than he did for my blog advertisement video. Until next time everyone have a Fiverrtastic day.

Two Testimonials That Make My Site Amazing

Hey Fiverrtatic peeps,
Ok so today I would like to talk to you about my site that is still in it's infancy called Custom Creationz. I have been working on this brand for a long time now and almost ready to actually brand the name or possibly sell the site if someone might be interested in branding it. Ok so I bought 2 videos from top rated sellers I have discussed in the past. You may remember them as Kymmypops and Oranjegirl. They are still selling on Fiverr and doing pretty well. It was the suggestion of Oranjegirl's husband Marko, after viewing my site, that I hire his wife and another Top Rated Seller. At first I liked the other person he suggested...but Kymmypops responded back eager to work on my project. Sometimes I'm limited on funds or the amount of orders and time. I ordered from her and ms. Oranje. These two delivered amazing videos and my site is showing a lot of traffic, probably more steady traffic than before. Still not getting the clients it should, but that will change soon enough...or hopefully it will. Here are the videos that I recieved. They are also on my Facebook pages and on Youtube.

                                                   Oranjegirl's video message to clients

                                              Kymmypops video message to freelancers

They both did an amazing job! I couldn't ask for anything better and wouldn't ask for anything more. They went above and beyond what I expected. That's how Fiverr should be when you can. That's what makes clients want to come back. Oh by the way check out my new blog called Your Digital Underground. It's a blog about a place discount digital goods and it will also be chocked full of free advice about things you should know about working as a successful work at home person. I haven't written my freelancer blog because this one has a lot of traffic and the other one is picking up. Fiverr keeps me really busy too. Leave comments if you want and if you would like to write for my blog or help with my Facebook pages let me know, I'm always looking for content creators and moderators. Thanks for all of your support everyone because without you Fiverrtastic is nothing. The next blog will be about Shiftypop so keep an eye out, I have been waiting to review her gigs awhile.
Thanks,

Be careful what clients you choose

Hey Fiverrtastic peeps,
Today I would like to talk to you about private clients and large projects on Fiverr. Be careful how much workload you take on no matter how much money you're offered. Make sure you stay firm to your prices too. If you say 3 cents a word for a writing project with a private client do not budge from that price. On Fiverr make sure your gig descriptions are clear and make sure that your delivery time is clear. The new Fiverr will change your delivery time if you deliver late, believe me I know. If you say 10 or 12 days and you deliver in 13 or 14 it will boost your delivery time. It will say the 12 days but in the statistics it will say a higher delivery time. Also Fiverr has a new rating system so ensure you keep your customer happy with lots of contact. The more contact the better chance of getting a good rating and 5 stars. Ok so back to talking about large orders and private clients.

Ok so let me tell you about my last few experiences. I had a Craigslist client who wanted me to work on a novel for him. He had 6 other novel projects too. Ok so this client had handwritten manuscripts and the stories were really good, but he couldn't write to save his life. His use of the English language and grammar was horrendous. I was mortified for even taking on this project. I charged him $75 when I probably should have charged him $300 or even $500 or more. The guy would call me every day or every other day and he expected me to only work on his project. He came over to my house almost every day to pick up the chapters i had typed so I told him that I was done. I quit 1/4 way through the project.

There was a client on Fiverr who was a complete ass too and he expected me to do an outline for his story. I don't do outlines. So after more than a week of having this order and not finishing it because it was a large project he cancelled. I told him I don't do outlines but I would have did a rough draft or the first few pages. I guess he had worked with too many writers on Fiverr from other countries who can't write so having an American writer was a relief. He thought that he could disrespect me though and in the end he got a mutual cancellation. My best piece of advice is if you get negative energy from a client stop working with them because the stress isn't worth the money. Have a Fiverrtastic day.
