    Fiverr vs Upwork (oDesk / Elance)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Yes, correct. But it only applies to those who are only buyers, if they sell something and have a cashpool on Fiverr, you do not have to pay this fee. But if they make the charge from your paypal of bank account, you have to pya the $0.5 fee. In my opinion, Fiverr is getting greedy.

    Fiverr vs Upwork (oDesk / Elance)

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Yes Yes For some, Fiverr is used as a loss leader to acquire customers onto other platforms. Fiverr is in general a nightmare: 8 in 10 customers expect value in the range of $50 for $5. You can get an order from a competitor who leaves a bad review just for the sake of pushing you down the...

    Lex DeVille's: 15 Days to Freedom - Make Money Copywriting in 15 Days or Less

    GOLD! 
    Oh, and let me add. To the question "Why is your service or product best suited as the solution to their problem?" they usually respond "because this is the best product available" :) I just smile. Because this validates itself. They need copywriting.

    Update I know that I haven't completed all 15 days in this challenge per se. But screw me, this update is not for me, it is for you who are thinking. Thinking if copywriting is worth a go or just another shiny object. Let me tell you something about shiny objects, they are shiny because they...

    How I Made My First Dollar Freelancing

    EXECUTION 
    Nice progress. If you want to get higher paid jobs a great way is to move the "budget meter" to your left after a search. Then you can filter on only high paying jobs and apply for those. They are a little harder to complete, but the reward is much greater. Worth a shot.

    @Charnell already pointed it out, thanks. I would do it like this: First free 2nd 2.99 3rd 2.99 4th 2.99 And then bundle them. Always ask for a review and give them an option to sign up to your mailing list. Always write series.

    Awesome that you at least decided upon something and took action. Continue, and you will see results from it. However, you tell very little in your OP, but did you do your research on your 70,000 word novel?
