Hello there, welcome everybody. If you want to make just like a quick compare
0:03
or if you want to see which one fits for you the best. Speaking about
0:07
Fiverr or Offwork you are actually in the right place. I mean I'm not going to be telling you which one is better, I'm just going to be telling you
0:14
from my point of view, what do I think about both applications and from that I think you might be getting just like a quick
0:23
idea of which one you should choose. Now, first of all in order to start, I mean before we start I should tell you
0:32
that if you have an account here into Fiverr and into Offwork it's not
0:38
it's not different, it's not let's say for example like something bad
0:41
that you have to account working as a freelancer. If you want to have both
0:46
applications it's totally good. If you want to work only into one application it's totally good
0:51
But I must say to you guys if you want to work
0:55
as a freelancer like a very very full time you have to focus only into
1:01
one, only into one website because you might be starting like just like to for example use
1:08
one gig a month but then later you might be getting one or two gigs per week and depending on how you get
1:16
more reviews and more of that you might be receiving more orders and orders and orders and you don't want to
1:23
be really delayed in your work, you don't want to just send your works just because they
1:29
do need to send to you and they already hired to you so
1:33
you might be getting just less ratings or more ratings with a very bad
1:38
bad reviews so you don't want to just involve into that. So speaking about like, I'm gonna tell you something really quick about Fiverr
1:47
If you want to work like this is your first job, this is the first time you are
1:52
here into Fiverr, this is the first time you want to work
1:56
as a freelancer. Here into Fiverr actually sorry you can do two things and the first thing that you can do is to create
2:05
your profile and to create your own gigs and you don't have to just try to chase
2:11
someone that can hire you. So if you do know what you are doing if you want to
2:16
work within a specific niche I believe Fiverr can be really accessible for you. Let me explain this really really quick
2:24
So if I go into the switch to buy like if I was a client
2:28
and I want to look for let's say for example I want to look for someone that
2:32
can help me with some printable artwork. What's going to happen here is going to be appearing just
2:40
only three services available. I will convert your images or artwork to
2:45
printable format. I will create unique artwork for the printable products. I will create a printable artwork
2:52
that suits your taste. So what I want to do is look for a category that it has just less amount of
3:04
I don't want to have a lot of competitions here. I'd want to
3:08
actually look for something that has not been created yet. So let's say for example if I wanted to look for something for
3:16
artwork I have 6 000 services available but if I look for let's say
3:22
music artwork is going to be appearing only 1000 services available and there are a lot of people
3:31
who are available for creating some artworks. And lastly let me just try to be a little bit more specific
3:39
Here into music artwork I want to look for IndiePub and I'm going to get into enter. So instead of 1000
3:50
services I only have 42 services available. I will design original album covers. I will create extracts, lo-fi albums. I will
3:58
create cover artworks. As you can see nobody has a IndiePub word into the keyword. So what I can do is to create a gig using this keyword
4:10
and I might be having more chances to get hired if I use a specific keyword. And this is what
4:17
I loved about Fiverr. If I go into my business I can go into my gigs
4:22
and I can upload specific gigs here into my account. So as you can see I do have here specific
4:31
I'm gonna hit into 14 days. I do have specific gigs about
4:35
custom banners, a background only for Twitch, a professional landing page only for Link3
4:42
a logo style but minimalistic and that's the way that I want
4:46
to actually work here into Fiverr. Now if you don't want to be
4:51
more specific then we want to go into artwork. Now here into artwork
4:57
go into find your work and I want to go into search for a job
5:01
and here into IndiePub music artwork. Right so here I do have to use... I actually
5:10
nobody wants to... nobody needs an IndiePub music artwork at the moment
5:15
Well let's say that I want to look for music artwork only. They are looking for
5:21
a graphic designer for an album cover art. So this is something that I might be
5:26
really interested into. I think this is just a specific job. What
5:29
I love about artwork is that in here you can build for example the expert experience level that they need. If you are
5:36
not so good in this field you can input intermediate and if you want to be hired by someone that has already
5:44
sent the money into the platform so you have more chances to get paid and this
5:49
is not a scam, choose the payment verified option and here I might be having more people already verified. So as you can see I
5:59
have five ratings, this one does not have ratings, five ratings so I can get more chances to get hired by people who are really
6:07
trusted here into artwork. So here this is the main difference about artwork and Fiverr. Here into artwork you
6:15
need to find the job and here into the Fiverr actually the job finds you. So actually that's
6:22
something that you might be willing to... this is like a very very huge difference. But speaking about the
6:30
contact, the way that you can contact the persons, the client, the client can
6:34
contact you and say like hey I do have like a question here into your gigs, can you make me like for example four custom banners
6:41
or can you make me like a fixed price because I love to work with you but I don't have like the full budget for that
6:51
and here into artwork you are the freelancer, you need to contact the
6:56
client and the client decides if you want to if they want to actually like create something like
7:01
I don't know maybe like a video conference or something like that. I can add some certifications, I can add some medication, I can add skills
7:07
linked accounts, language description but I don't have I don't have like a lot of options to say to prove
7:15
that I am actually right for the job. So what I want to do is to actually
7:22
let's say for example I do want to find something for the artwork
7:25
because here into artwork I can verify my account, I can add so much more things here to find my work. I'm going to go into my
7:33
profile and here into my profile I can add more things speaking about the work history. This is portfolio, speaking about the
7:41
Fiverr, if you want to add something into a portfolio there's actually no portfolio but if you want to add let's say for
7:48
example I work into this project you need to upload those projects into a gig. So that's the only way that you can
7:56
add your stuff here into Fiverr. I mean I don't want to say, I mean I would like
8:01
to say that I've worked with a lot of filmmakers and as a maybe assistant director but the only way that I can input that
8:12
here into Fiverr is to go into create a new gig and
8:17
offer that service as an assistant director. So I think it's like not the most accurate way to do that
8:24
and here into artwork you can actually add a portfolio. You can add a music video, another music video, so
8:31
once again it's really really simple but what Fiverr does have is the enroll section where you can we can add
8:39
batches. So let's say that we are willing to work with creative designs or minimalistic logos. If I have
8:47
a batch that can help me to prove that I'm actually really good at what I'm
8:51
doing, having the batch here into Fiverr is going to be helping me to have more professionalism
8:59
here into the application. So I do work with both applications that's what I'm telling you guys if you are just
9:06
starting it's like really useful to have both Fiverr and Upwork applications already created
9:12
and from there if you have like more popularity here into Fiverr then just
9:17
stick into Fiverr. If you are with more popularity here into Upwork
9:21
stick into Upwork although here into Fiverr you can get like different gigs from different contexts
9:28
but here into Upwork you might be having more chances to get hired with a
9:33
full-time job. I mean your freelancer projects can easily evolve into a full-time job here into Upwork
9:42
To Fiverr I believe the chances to have that opportunity really not that high. So that's like the thing that I can give you
9:50
about these two applications. So I cannot tell you which one is better
9:54
I think if you want to just start from scratch you can go into Fiverr and then if you have like one or two gigs
10:01
try into Upwork and try which one fits for you the best depending on what kind
10:06
of job you are trying and willing to work with. So hopefully guys this was a very useful video and before I leave don't forget
10:15

10:23

10:29
really great completed account profile on both applications. So don't forget to like and subscribe to this channel guys
