Buyers Beware on Fiverr A Fiverr Review

CONS

Fiverr is known as the go-to online marketplace for a variety of freelance materials and services. But there’s a big question on many entrepreneurs' minds: Is it worth the hype?

The primary thing to watch for is fake reviews and testimonials, which can lead

to unsatisfactory transactions and plenty of headaches. While many sellers offer a money-back satisfaction guarantee, that doesn’t negate the loss of time and effort on your end. The quality of work can vary, too. While many sellers have samples of their work on their profile, it’s not always the quality you receive. Fiverr offers services for as little as $5, depending on the seller, so you really do get what you pay for. Keep in mind that anyone can be a seller on the site. You’re not guaranteed professional service nor the ability to get the product or service you need in a timely manner. So, is it worth the hype? That will depend on how well you discern the seller's reviews and quality of work promoted on their page. If anything seems off, utilize Fiverr’s resources and reach out to the seller with any questions or concerns before making your hiring decision.

Buying a service from one of the many freelancers on the platform is quick and easy. You can create an account and complete the checkout process with your preferred mode of payment in a matter of minutes. You can also compare prices of different freelancers to ensure you’re getting the most out of every dollar you spend. If you want to find out more about a seller before using them, you can also look up the rating and feedback score of whoever you’re interested in. Additionally, each freelancer’s contact information is provided, so you can ask them questions before making a purchase. Do you have very particular marketing needs? No problem! A variety of sellers on Fiverr provide niche products and services. You can find someone to design a classic business card and create a clever jingle for your company’s radio advertisement. Fiverr has it all.

“Boston Brick & Stone redid my fireplace and chimney about a year ago. They were very professional and did a fabulous job. This year, I was shopping around for solar and found they also do solar. Not only did they come in as the BEST bid, but they also did an amazing job. Excellent team of workers. I highly recommend and would hire them again if the need should arise.” -Lisa B. “I called and an appointment was set up almost immediately. Our inspector was very informative and explained in detail the steps he took in inspecting our brick fireplace. He gave us options as he explained the crack he saw and how we could go about repairing it. Would recommend Boston Brick & Stone to anyone needing their fireplace inspected.” -J.E.Y.
