parradesigns Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Can you REALLY be offering English ‘writing’ services if I can’t even understand your gig title?Imagine complaining about the low traffic, sales and reviews received by your gig when you immediately exhibit a lack of skill, before anyone’s even clicked on your gig. How many times have you looked at a gig and felt pity? Some people really need to be told not to quit their day jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apaintedlady Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 A gig for improving traffic to your gig when they have not had a single order yet. There are quite a few of those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joannart Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 That gig about writing love letters (For your loved ones), when the only example is a crappy letter to beer. xD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parradesigns Posted April 8, 2017 Author Share Posted April 8, 2017 A gig for improving traffic to your gig when they have not had a single order yet. There are quite a few of those.That’s clearly because they’re ethical, moral people, who like a challenge and want to get their gig started without any help from all the real, living, breathing people who they direct to other people’s gigs.No hate for Fiverr traffic gigs please.

A love letter to beer would be persuasion enough for me to purchase any gig, regardless of what it’s selling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the most moral or ethical people.Sorry if you were being sarcastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A love letter to beer would be persuasion enough for me to purchase any gig, regardless of what it’s selling.It was ironic because the person claimed it was for a loved one, and that it would be a top notch love letter. It was just a rhyme poem about beer and drunk driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offlinehelpers Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 You’ve asked for gigs that people find ‘ironic’ and when given suggestions you’ve criticised them - do you really want suggestions, or just an excuse to have a go, because that’s not sarcastic, it’s just unfriendly.

offlinehelpers Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 The most ironic thing I saw on the forum wasn’t from somebody selling a gig, it was a recent post from someone wanting to buy an essay on ethics - now that’s irony! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try some emoji maybe. 😆I’m really sorry in that case, I was reading it in my own voice in my head, but of course you wouldn’t know what that sounds like and it clearly didn’t translate well when you read it. I can give you some emojis as compensation and promise that I have no intention of being rude 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d pay no more than $5 for a digital magazine. The only thing justifying the extra $795 was the sweet, sweet anticipation of a hard copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
