Hi, I’m Abdul Samad, professionally software Engineer, Instructor and Freelancer with a real time professional experience.
If you are a Fiverr freelancer, web developer, web designer, logo maker, video editor or any technical person. please stop selling yourself cheaper.
Why do you sell yourself so cheap?
Let’s understand this, you might think that selling yourself cheap will get you an order? No, not at all, this is not reality selling yourself at cheaper rate will only degrade you. You might be thinking it takes you only 5 minutes to complete the order, what’s wrong if you are charging 5$ only. it’s not 5 minutes work, in fact it’s your whole life investment. You updated your gig on daily bases. You check out fiverr frequently. You give your efforts, you give your precious time. You spend hours of hours to learning the skill. At the end you sell so cheap, why…?.
You sell your skill in 5 dollars and then you expect the buyer to give you extra tip, why? You aren’t the waiter of five-star hotel, expecting tip. You’re professional. Be professional. Know your worth and stop expecting. Start believing in you.
Once a woman asked Pablo Picasso to draw a painting for her, Picasso draw it in 10 seconds and gave it to the woman saying “Take this it’s million dollars painting”. She surprised and asked “can I make such painting in 10 seconds?, will that that painting worth million dollars? Picasso smiled and said ” Yes if only you give 30 years of your life to painting”.
What will you earn if you sell in 5$?
1$ will be deducted by fiverr, 1$ will be charged by payoneer account. At the end you receive only 3$.
Recently I watch a video of where he’s making fun of 5$ dollars website designer, an Asian website designer/developer.

What will the impact if you sell your self cheap.
1. You will unprofessional.
2. 2. You will look like those Hungary and ragged children on street trying to sell their gadgets.
3. 4. You will look less skilled.
4. Even if you are standing zero level. You have got no order. Believe me decreasing your rates will not get you the order.
rather I’d suggest you to update your gigs and upgrade yourself to the next level, give response to daily buyers request.As ‘Mary Anne Radmacher’ well said –
6. ‘Courage does not always roar. sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow”.
Best wishes for future a head.
