I don't think the charges are much especially if you're making reasonable amount of money from the platform. Of course they need that in order to continue running the platform smoothly.
Exactly, I laugh these days when I see people complaining that fiverr is charging 20 percent of the money they earned. It's like they forget that fiverr pay money to keep their platform running. And they employees they are paying. To me, 20 percent is normal.
I think it is not fair, Fiverr should change it's policies because freelancers are the ones who complete the projects, Fiverr acts as a bridge between freelancers and clients.
I can understand that some people are making a lot of money but if you are charging 20% for service fee then that is definitely a lot. You have to imagine that a lot of these people will still have to go and pay taxes.
it is only people who are not making money on the platform that will complain about the 20%. The 20% is in place and in fact Amazon charges 30% and people are still venturing into the platform everyday.
Yes that's the plain truth about making money on Fiverr, in as much as you want to make money on Fiverr, make sure you have the necessary skills that will guarantee you making money on it, that's the fact about it.
The freelancing space currently has a lot of competition. You must be good in what you do and must also know how to market your skills if you must succeed presently. Without that nobody will even give you a job.
Giving 80% to the freelancers is very good and it is fair enough because the 20% will be used for the maintenance of the website and also it will be used to pay staff their salaries.
You are right, but this is when you have a task for $5, if you have a service for $5000 then you will earn $4000 which means that you paid $1000, I think this amount is not fair.
The money becomes very big when you were able to bag a big task just like the example you illustrated , but if it's a task that is not that big which would give you $10, $20 or $100 the cut will be reasonable.
Probably, there's no doubt about that. if you want to work on a platform like Amazon Kindle publishing, they usually give publishers 70% and take 30% of the total money.
You can see the difference between fiverr and other freelancing platform . They have a reasonable percentage commission. 30% is just too much because if you are to receive huge amount of money that is worth thousands, 30% is a significant amount.
Amazon Kindle publishing is quite different from freelancing. It is a website that allows you to make money by publishing your ebooks.
Yeah! the topic is about fiverr and that is why I talked about the percentage share of fibre which is reasonable compared to other freelancing platforms we had come across.
Okay, I think Fiverr and upwork at the two top freelancing platforms a lot of people use. I also have account on the both of them. There are other freelancing platforms also but I don't have any kind of experience on those ones and the percentage of the share.
I have an account with fiverr and upwork but my activities on these platforms are not pronounced because I once promoted my gigs and I was going above and beyond to ensure that I get the job but I didn't get any.
