Top Key Quotes
“It’s important to know if you go on Fiverr or Upwork, you have to offer something that you could do fast. If it’s going to take you ages, then it’s going to go slow and you have to be patient. So, you have to find something you can do fast.”
“It’s important to get out of the comfort zone if you’re going to be building a freelancing career. So, you have to work on your personal brand. It’s not required, but your personal brand is going to scale your freelancing career.”
“You have to trust in people. If you don’t trust people, you can’t build a team. So, you have to take a risk but you have to be careful when you’re building a team. Maybe you’re outsourcing some tasks without giving access to your Fiverr account at the beginning just to build trust.”
“I think why it worked out for me is because I was going for customer experience, this is the most important. So, over-deliver, make sure the customer is happy, fast replies and obviously solve the problems.”
“When someone orders a gig, you can actually use YouTube. So, create a shortcut to a YouTube video and then you can send it to clients right away as soon as he orders. That way the client is going to ask you less questions and they will use a FAQ where you can create those video messages.”
“You can do multiple things very good. You have to pick one or two things, depending on what you do.”
“Obviously in business and online space, you have short-term, which are working well, and long-term things. Long-term things, as we mentioned the podcast, for me the podcast would be long-term but it is, I’m still going to be back. But, right now, I’m focusing on writing a book. I actually started writing a book a year ago.”
