#4 COPYING OTHERS' GIG DESCRIPTIONS IS THE FIRST STEP TO FAILURE

https://i1.wp.com/hustle.ng/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/WhatsApp-Image-2017-09-13-at-3.52.03-PM.jpeg?w=1000&ssl=1

So you just spring up from nowhere, or maybe somewhere, create a Fiverr account and start copy-pasting other sellers' gigs? And you think you will make it by doing that? Well, maybe, maybe not.

But come sef! That's laziness! Freaking laziness!! Annoying laziness!!! And trust me, as a lazy person, whatever the talents or skills with which you start out, you will condemn yourself with this second-rate action.

This practice is very common among Nigerians and those Pakistan boys on Fiverr, which bespeaks that you have no real value to offer, you just want to make money fast.

I agree, setting up gigs might be very backbreaking, that demand is toilsome. But as someone who is really determined to make money online using Fiverr, to go through that one-time pain (of course you only set up a gig once and for all) shouldn't be that herculean to do. 

Quite right, no direct harm in copying gigs as Fiverr doesn't frown at it, poor them. But I have heard of a situation where a friend of mine copied someone else's description, the real owner of the gig description went extra miles to open 5 new accounts, ordered my friend's gig with the 5 accounts, dropped him 1 star each with the 5 accounts and then cancelled all the orders, what can be worse? Say bye to your Fiverr career before you start.

You should learn how to stand out, be unique, make your description the best. You will only do it once and it doesn't even take up to 30minutes on average. You can steal ideas, structure, and tags from other gigs but never copy.

Ojasweb said some good stuff about writing the best of Fiverr gig descriptions, you can read here.

Bottomline here is...

Do not copy gig descriptions again! Ever! Before you create a gig, you should understand what you want to offer, how you plan to offer it, the requirements and the assurance. Compile these and put them all up in your description, if you cannot write simple English then go back to secondary school and learn, Fiverr is not for you. *Rolls eyes*

ojasweb:
Hey man, you're doing a great job. I went back to read the referenced article and I couldn't believe I revealed such amazing details. That's one of the best guides for beginners.
Kudos!

Please who can help me with this

Hi,

we need some research done, wondering if you can help.

We need website feeds (rss, atom, ...) from sites that post content about specific cities all over the world, lets say Atlanta, Prague, Tokyo or Manila for example. Those have to be active feeds, specific to one city per feed and post at least one new entry a day. The feed can be a summary of the entry on their full website, no need for the full content. All feeds need to be in English. We need several feeds per city.
Topics can vary, from tourism to real estate, events, reviews, job postings, traffic, sports, weather and so on.

We have an existing list of feeds already that can work as a starting point, but the submitted feeds have to be new of course.
Here is a sample feed for Dubai:
http://www.dubaimetro.eu/feed/

Can you find those? What would be the cost for us, lets say per 20 feeds or per 100 and so on?

We need this for around 80-100 cities, so looking for a reliable good freelancer to do that. There might be even more work than that in the future if this works out well.

If you understood that please send us a sample feed url specific for one city.

We can then start with a paid test order for 1 city.

Thank you
Jens

EbizCoachNg2:
Lol.

You can only cancel and at the same time rate the seller if the seller failed to deliver within the deadline. Once the seller has delivered your job, you can only accept the job done and rate the seller, or you file dispute to seek refund but can no longer rate/review the seller. In other words, you can't cancel and still be able to rate/review the seller if he/she delivers in time.

You are doing a great job. You are an amazing writer. Keep it up bro.

fattbabakay:
Lol thanks a lot. Meanwhile, you can always rate a seller a depressing 1 star. Then contact support to explain how the seller did a crappy job for you and you'd like to get a refund. You'll get the order canceled and the review would stay there.

EbizCoachNg2:
That's true bro. But fiverr support would never refund your buyer without your consent

fattbabakay:
Not true in most cases. But all the same, thanks for the contribution.
