Attaching a youtube link as a sample

[gourav1207]

Can I attach my youtube playlist link in response to buyer request as a work sample?

Will, it is regarded as spam?
or against Fiverr TOS?

Pls, tell me what do you think… 🙂

Yes, you can! Glad to help!

Have you read TOS yourself?

Huh… I’ve done it many times… I thought it was in the list of links you could send… And what if it’s a video editing gig and and your videos are on YouTube?

Sorry you’re right. You can but it could be risky.

Sorry it actually is allowed, but personally I wouldn’t do it because you could be accused of spamming, plus you can’t prove that that is your own work. Better to have a portfolio in your gig itself, I feel.

Risky, how? I do agree that you may have no way of proving that it’s yours, but isn’t that true for all work?

Definitely but it’s easier to forge a link than it is to put a file on your gig. Plus in marketing once you refer a visitor to a different website, the chances of them returning to yours go way down.

Native files are better for marketing than referring elsewhere.

Hm… But, he’s referring to YouTube… YouTube and Fiverr accounts aren’t connected. Sure if it was say something else like a GitHub or Stack Overflow account, then this may be true!

You’re misunderstanding. I know they aren’t connected. That’s the problem.

[aarontgladiator]

Oh, okay, sorry for the misunderstanding! But I think you would still have a problem proving either way and the buyer would just have to take your word for it!
