Hi,
everyone who has worked or bought in fiverr, knows that we might meet different types of buyers/sellers.
In this topic, we will name buyers/sellers categories with funny names and descriptions from our fiverr experiences.
I’m gonna start:
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐡𝐞𝐫: probably the most known buyer, the rusher is looking for fast and quick services, he often starts sentences without saying the words “hello, thank you…” and expose his projects instantly based on “you have to do this, this and this !” you need a lot of cold blood and solid nerves…
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫: one of the most scarying buyer for sellers, everyone has ever dealed with him, always looking for perfection and satisfied only once he will get what he paid for, the revision master will always use revisions to add extra work and change terms and structure of basical agreements about his project, but you, you offered unlimited revisions, he will follow you forever…
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐫 𝐝𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐩: mostly rich persons hanging on fiverr and ready to show they have a big wallet, the suggar daddy tip will always start a conversation by “if I am satisfied of your work I will give you a tip, but if i’m not, then no tip”, knowing that the reward might be huge, as a seller, you will always try to do the best you can do, or maybe get even more stress and pressure, you don’t know…
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐮𝐲𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐫: you know what I mean, you also went in buyer request list in pressing F5 every minutes to look for work.
The BR moral breaker often create delusional requests starting by “I want a pro work, if you’re not a pro DON’T WASTE my time, DM me only if you pro”, of course, the unsurprising thing is the budget they put on their project 5€/10€ for a pro work, you look for work, so even if it’s hard, you click and work with him anyway…
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐩𝐨𝐩 𝐥𝐚𝐝𝐲: a very rare specimen in fiverr, the lollipop lady is ALWAYS satisfied with the work you provide.
Whatever you do and whatever you provide, the lollipop lady is always kind and respectful, brave heart and full of good attentions, she often contacts you with sentences like “Hello dear how are you!” “Thanks you so much, I love your work !”, you would like all your buyers to be the lollipop lady, but you realise that we are not living in a world full of candies and rainbows…
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐮𝐬: blue pill or red pill, once the morpheus has ordered your gig, it is too late already, similar to the sugar daddy tip, the morpheus will take your moral in hostage by saying that he will give a positive or negative review about the work you will provide. You have no choice, whatever you think and whatever you say, he is always right…
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫: devious, deceitful and expert in drop shipping, the scammer always has been a part of business world, he will do everything to be contacted out of here in sending you weird website in private messages, but you are not stupid and know to deal with internet dangers so you won’t click on a link starting by: www.scamdropshipingexpert.com …
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐛𝐢𝐞: how much time did you cancel an order because buyer took the wrong gig ?
The newbie, new to fiverr mostly, will often order the wrong gig, definitly here to take your statistics down, you will have to handle him because he has probably no idea why he contacted you even.
But you are a good person so you will cancel the order and explain what he did wrong…
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐝: is one of the easiest person to work with (or not), the nerd knows your job, he is an expert and knows exactly what he is looking for.
No mistakes allowed, he has given an instruction list full of details and is very accurate with the expected result, now you have no excuse to get a bad review and complain in fiverr forum…
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐠: will always talk to you like “yo man” “bro” “dude”, “wassup man”, often a good guy, he is often looking for video editing or graphism with tags and colors, his hobbies are mostly skateboarding, tags, rap.
He is cool, you like him, he likes you, so you like to work with him.
And you ? =>
