Yesterday, I delivered another proofreading order. I was proud of my work, and relieved that I’d delivered it, but I wasn’t expecting anything special. Today, I found out that not only had the buyer accepted the order and given me a 5 star review, but he also gave me a $100 tip on top of the $150 order! This was an amazing surprise, and I’m really grateful—I’d been working hard on the order for a month, so it was great to get recognition for my work.
So, here are the key points that led me to get this bonus $100:
- I delivered early (but not too early). By planning ahead and scheduling, I knew I’d complete this order within the 30 days I had to do it.
- It was a big project, and I went above and beyond to satisfy the buyer by providing high-quality work.
- I communicated in a friendly but professional way with the buyer to ensure he was clear on what services I would be providing.
If you’re hoping to get a tip like this one day, good luck! Hopefully, if you do all of these things, you’ll be lucky enough to receive one soon.
Has anyone else got any advice or stories about receiving tips from buyers? Feel free to share them below!
