silberma1976 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 What is the worst message you ever received?Mine…“I want to Earn”Me; Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eoinfinnegan Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 I didnt think you would tell anyone!I despise:being asked for samplesrevisions without specific issues (It doesnt sound right, can you make it better etc)can you do x, y or z when my specific service is exactly that. (not can you do this within a certain time or whatever; just Can you proofread this? and similarany unrealistic expectations such as Can you rank me on page 1 of Google. I will pay an extra $5 if you can do it by tomorrow Actual request I received from a lawyer in New York, where CPC is around $50 and is some of the most competitive online real estate in the world.

somaginer1996 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 “Hi”: usually a sign of trouble.“Are you female?”: Uh oh…And then there was one wonderful client who told me, after six minutes of me not responding to his previous message, that he would “not be waiting for my response any longer”. Yes, because everyone on Fiverr is constantly checking the app and/or has their laptop open every single moment of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodbye.I cant believe I forgot this one -Can you do SEO and get me sales and I will give you 10% of all revenue. If you are good at SEO then you will make lots of money this way.This person usually has a rubbish templated site they bought from Flippa for $25 or else stole from somewhere with nothing original.

youssefkamel Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Mine will be "Can you create me a landing page for $5? If I i’m satisfied, I’ll tip."I was like: Meh, no thanks. He came back to me tho with a better offer! He raised it to $10 and if he was satisfied, he will tip…but I also said no.Another message was someone who wanted a fully functional responsive website with written content, ranking number one on Google, Premium images, unlimited revisions, a 12 bedroom house & a brand new Ferrari for just $5 & if satisfied, he’ll tip more, he promise. Great deal!(Okay he didn’t really request a 12 bedroom house & a Ferrari. But if he had the choice, he surely would. 😑) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superalex76 Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Apart from all the messages that are just - hi! or calling me dear or asking me if I can outsource work - this one was particularly offensive - I’m sure you can work out the word used. I notice they still have an account so… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silberma1976 Posted March 9, 2018 Author Share Posted March 9, 2018 Makes me miss the days of getting emails from a person in a foreign country who has a sick someone and really needs money fast. Ahhh, the good old days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loganstover Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 My 2 that I despise are the “can you do this as a gift”? and the “give me lots of work for free and I will give you mass orders in future”!This combined both. This is after he asked for 5000 words for $5. I told him no thanks, but he persisted. So I sent him a customer offer of $50. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
