00:00:00,00 --> 00:00:06,700
Assalam o alaikum, so today we'll discuss 
some fiverr cons

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:13,800
and the first thing that i hate about fiverr 
is ' buyer is always right'

3
00:00:13,900 --> 00:00:18,400
you heard it right, buyer is always right 
for fiverr

4
00:00:18,500 --> 00:00:22,700
policies are very strict regarding this,even 
if seller is right

5
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,700
mistake is from buyer's end, even then buyer 
is right

6
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:32,100
Suppose you completed an order and delivered 
it, and buyer said, I don't like it

7
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:38,100
you did everything what buyer asked, but 
even then he said, I want to refund

8
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,600
even if it was 1000$ project, and you completed 
it

9
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:45,600
and fiverr will accept his refund request, 
take out money from your account

10
00:00:45,700 --> 00:00:48,300
means it did not take out extra money from 
your account

11
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:52,100
whatever amount was decided, when its your 
turn to withdraw that amount

12
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,000
fiverr  has that payment

13
00:00:54,100 --> 00:00:58,300
when order is placed, fiverr take that amount 
from the buyer and keep it

14
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,100
and when order is completed, fiverr give 
that amount to the seller

15
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,900
but if buyer cancels the project, fiverr 
returns that amount to the buyer

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:10,900
I hate this thing too, even if you have proof 
of everything

17
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,300
that you've completed work from your end, 
even then fiverr will support the buyer

18
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,900
and secondly,I don't like Fiverr's customers 
support

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,900
because it takes about one to two days to 
get a reply

20
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,300
if someone is full time dependent on that 
platform,

21
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:31,800
if he faces any problem, then atleast his 
problem must be solved as soon as possible

22
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:34,500
but here you get their reply after one to 
two days

23
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,900
this platform has too much saturation

24
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,500
due to which these issues are faced

25
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,900
but I don't like their support, that's why 
I've included it in cons

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,000
atleast fiverr customer support must be improved

27
00:01:46,100 --> 00:01:51,800
and the third thing is, fiverr can ban your 
account anytime

28
00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:56,800
you've your gigs ranked, and then suddenly 
they derank

29
00:01:56,900 --> 00:02:01,800
and then you came to know that your gig has 
been de-ranked, and issues begin to start

30
00:02:01,900 --> 00:02:06,500
Or your gig is deleted due to minor issues

31
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,500
You will see that everyone has made that 
mistake 
but only your gig was deleted

32
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,600
so the solution for this is, don't always 
depend on a single platform

33
00:02:13,700 --> 00:02:17,900
keep on working on fiverr, and create an 
account on upwork too or

34
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,300
or do private freelancing,by using platforms 
like Facebook ,linkedIn

35
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,400
If you generate orders from these platforms, 
then you don't need to be dependent

36
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:30,100
May be you'll be demotivated, after struggling 
hard on fiverr

37
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,000
and then I am saying it has so many issues

38
00:02:32,100 --> 00:02:34,700
but Issues are everywhere

39
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,100
your account will be banned by upwork too

40
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,000
Suppose you have done a mistake by mistake

41
00:02:42,100 --> 00:02:44,000
means by mistake you have done a mistake

42
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:46,300
and your account got banned, what will you 
do then?

43
00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,400
I am telling you all this, so that you should 
plan your future

44
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:52,800
so that you should have a backup

45
00:02:52,900 --> 00:02:57,000
I don't want you to follow blindly

46
00:02:58,700 --> 00:03:02,800
my complete course is not scripted, I made 
all this through my experience

47
00:03:02,900 --> 00:03:08,200
I gave you some tips that are not even related 
to this course

48
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:11,000
but they are related to your freelance business

49
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:13,300
so i gave those tips too

50
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,800
so that you make a good career

51
00:03:15,900 --> 00:03:20,800
I shared pros and cons, because I want that 
you should know the bright side

52
00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:25,000
it has too much potential, you can earns 
thousands of dollars

53
00:03:25,100 --> 00:03:26,900
you can earn

54
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,900
and your account can be banned as well, it 
can be banned anywhere at any platform

55
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:36,200
so the reason behind telling the pros and 
cons is that you should make a backup plan

56
00:03:36,300 --> 00:03:41,500
don't depend only on one source and platform, 
make different earning sources

57
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:44,500
So that if lose one, you'd have a second 
option

58
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,800
you have your skill even if fiverr blocks 
you

59
00:03:47,900 --> 00:03:50,800
of course you'd lost your struggle and time 
you spent but

60
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:55,500
but you didn't lost all the experience you 
gained, you dealt with so many buyers

61
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,700
your dealing and communication skill  has 
been improved

62
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,300
you got practicle experience in you skill

63
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:08,200
if you start you career again from another 
platform, you'd not take the same amount 
of time

64
00:04:08,300 --> 00:04:13,300
I'll say if something bad happens with you, 
even it happened with me

65
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,700
see the positve aspect of you failure

66
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:22,500
if you be positive, your mind will think 
positively, and your body will behave positively

67
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:27,400
and from your negative experience, you'll 
find positve reults in future
