Fiverr vs Upwork, what is better for freelancers

Hello everyone, welcome back to another video. I hope you all are doing great

Now if you want to make, you know, views like a quick concert, and if you want to see which one fits for you

the best speaking about, you know, Fiverr or Upwork, you know, I mean, I'm going to be just telling you which one is better

and I'm going to be telling you from my point of view, okay? So what do I think about both applications

I'm going to tell you in great detail throughout the whole video. And that's, you know, going to give you a quick idea of how everything feels

And in the end, I'm also going to give a final verdict on which platform I give more preference to

when it comes to, you know, personal taste. So we're going to go ahead and, you know, get into both of these right now

So obviously, first of all, here's Fiverr, okay? Fiverr is an amazing marketplace

and you can obviously go through all of its workings. So once you open Fiverr, which is Fiverr's basic page, fiverr.com

once you open it up, over here, you know, this is what you're going to see

A basic page where they're going to, you know, tell you things about Fiverr

So find the right freelance service right away. You're going to see, you know, some nice images

which is a pretty user-friendly interface. You're going to see it's trusted by Meta, Google, Netflix, PNG, PayPal, etc

Then it says, add talent to AI. We have AI artists to work with where we can build our brand

logo design, customize our WordPress website, share your message, using voiceovers, you know, exactly what I'm doing

And here you can see the best part. Stick to your budget, get quality work done, pay when you're happy, count on 24-7

So it's pretty great stuff with a lot of great niche categories

And, you know, that's just amazing by the amount of variety that Fiverr has in hold for you

Then obviously, you know, there's two things on Fiverr. There's selling and there's buying

Now, obviously, if you're watching this as a freelancer, then you want to become a seller, right

So to become a seller, you're just going to come over here and click on become a seller

And once you do that, basically, it's going to bring you here

Work your way, you bring the skill, we'll make earning easy. So obviously, you're going to click on become a seller

And what that will do is it will take you through a whole process where it's going to ask you to, you know, input all the things about yourself

all the details, all data about your sales and stuff and what you're willing to, you know, provide to the people on Fiverr

Now, I'm going to log in with my account and show you a bit of my Seller Central, okay

So as we can see, I am logged into my account. Now, if I switch to selling, let me show you

how this whole Seller Professional Central looks like. This is your seller's dashboard

And once you're into your seller section over here, a few things happen. In this, you know, you can see a lot of things

So three steps to become a top seller. Get noticed by sharing your gig

I'm going to tell you what that is right now. Get more skilled in exposure and become a successful seller

So firstly, you know, first and foremost, we're going to go ahead

into our, you know, seller's dashboard over here. And you're going to see your business, okay

Now, in my business, you're going to find all the main things, okay? First of all, you're going to find any orders that you have

Now, currently, I don't have any orders. Then you're going to go to gigs. Gigs are basically your ads, okay

Gigs are ads that you're going to put up for the people to see

And they're going to be like, hey, you know how to make ads. That's pretty cool

Let's check this person out. They're going to click into my gig

They're going to like what I hope they like what I do. And from there on out, they're going to start sending their offers

And then obviously, the payment is done while on Fiverr. Like the payment, Fiverr has a, you know, policy that the payment can't be done

on any external software outside of Fiverr. The payment needs to be done in Fiverr

So yeah, the payment is done on Fiverr. So there's no, you know, no scope of getting scammed or anything like that

And then moving on, obviously, this is only the seller's dashboard that I'm showing you

Let's go ahead. Let me switch to buying. You know, let me show you a bit in the buying section as well

Now in the buying section, Fiverr is pretty terrific as well, because you can see the ratings of the sellers that you're going to buy from

You can see the price they're willing to get. You can see the ratings. You can see the levels

And obviously, there's levels on Fiverr sellers, you know, level one, level two, level three

Then there's pro as well. So obviously, to come into the top rankings of these levels

yeah, you need to have a lot of sales and you need to

you know, just have a very good amount of work. Now, moving on, once we have, you know, done this

let's say we want to search something specific on Fiverr. Let's say I'm going to go with the indie pop music art

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead, write that. Let me just fix the spelling. Let's see what we get

Once you write indie pop music art, you're going to get a lot of these things

So I will make unique indie rock music cover. I will get your rock or pop song played on a real radio station

You know, I will compose and produce rock, pop and indie for you, etc, etc

So as you can see, you can keep on going down and down

And, you know, you can start seeing all these different things. So the prices are pretty good relatively

And, you know, good stuff. I like what I see. Now, moving on, once we have actually seen this and discussed this

obviously this was Fiverr and we saw that it's a pretty good platform. Now let's switch over to Upwork

Upwork, on the other hand, you know, Fiverr is a more, you could say first come first serve based thing. Okay

It's like create your gig and, you know, the users will contact you if they come across your gig

Upwork, on the other hand, is pretty different when it comes to finding work

So if I click on find work over here and, you know

we're going to go ahead and choose our niche. So let's say I want to go with design and creative

Once you go on design and creative, it's going to see hire freelance design and creative experts to help you scale, etc, etc

Now, basically, I don't want to, you know, hire someone. I want to apply to jobs because as a freelancer, that's what I am willing to do

I'm going to go ahead and write here in the pop music art

I'm going to write that. We're going to go ahead and search. And as you can see over here, you're going to start getting all these things

So looking for regional, international media coverage or publicist that has connection with Latin brands, etc, etc

So this is how the jobs are displayed on Upwork. So obviously the same as Fiverr, you're going to create an account on Upwork

with a proper profile and everything. And once you do that, you're going to start applying on these jobs

You know, on Fiverr, you can't apply on jobs on Fiverr. You're just going to put up a gig and be like, yeah, this is me

And I would like you to take my gig and I like to do your job, etc, etc

On Upwork, it's totally different. People are going to put up gigs

People are going to put up ads. And you, the worker or the freelancer, is going to apply for them and be like

hey, this seems pretty neat. I would like to do this. So, you know, basically that's how it's different from Fiverr

And that is where I give it the plus point to the fact that the job rate

I'm not exactly saying that the acceptance rate is high, but I would like to say this, that basically the more chance

like at least you'll get a chance to apply for a job on Fiverr

you know, months and months and you won't even get a single like on a gig

But that obviously depends on your marketing and how much you share your gig

OK, now, in my case, you know, I would always go with Upwork for applying to jobs

because Upwork has more variety of jobs and then the money distribution is also pretty better

But obviously on Upwork, it's mostly hourly. OK, so people basically hire you for long term contracts

On Fiverr, it's a fun thing because it's just a one time thing

So one time project, then you're done. Obviously, if the client wants to work with you more

they're going to let you know, but there's not a contract. On Upwork, mostly it's a contract, as you can see

hourly, 15 to 17 dollars less than one month, less than 30 hours per week

So basically you're going to have to work like around 20 days, but you're going to have to also work, you know, less than 30 hours per week

which could be around 15 to 18 to 20 hours. So still a lot of time

So you get the point. This is how Upwork and Fiverr are going to work

And if I were to give a final verdict, Fiverr and Upwork are both amazing platforms

Both have been on the top of the freelancing list for a while. But in my opinion, the best would always be Upwork because of its smooth working

more chance of getting a job. And thirdly, its user interface is just much better than Fiverr

and it's much easier to get around. You know, it's pretty basic, it's pretty straightforward

Whereas on Fiverr, it's, you know, all over the place, to be honest, in my opinion

So yeah, I would go with Upwork. But, you know, you can let me know what you think down in the comments below

But yeah, that's pretty much it. Thank you for watching this video till the end. Drop down a like, subscribe to the channel, and I'll see all of you next time. Goodbye
