Beta Reader Fiverr Gig Update / 5 STAR REVIEW!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- The first attempt at selling a gig on Fiverr did not go as planned. But this time, things seem to be looking up. I've had a Beta reading gig on Fiverr for a couple of months and finally got my first couple of sales.
Have you ever purchased or sold on Fiverr?

Have you either hired someone on Fiverr, or set up your own gig?
@Angela H thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Good luck with Fiverr and beta reading. I haven't had an order in a while but I think it will come and go. I also set up a peer editing gig but I haven't had any orders yet.
I've been wavering about setting up my Fiverr seller's account as a beta reader! I'm afraid to mess it up. So afraid that I've been procrastinating since March of 2022 and here it is August. Yikes!
I already have my cute graphics done (before March, haha!) so that part will be easy.
As far a beta reading is concerned--I've been doing that for years now and am a published writer of a few books.
What am I afraid of? I don't know! Waaaa!!!
@@ElizabethMuellerNovelist you can do this! You've got the knowledge and skill. Nothing to lose my friend. Take a deep breath and give her a try
@@TaniasWritingRealm You're so kind, thank you!
By the way, I enjoyed your video. You're very encouraging. Thank you!
I am currently exploring fiverr gigs. Beta reading and freelancing writing are the areas I am considering. Thanks a lot for this video. 🙂
Good luck 👍
This is very inspirational Tania. I am inspired to try beta reading out in Fiverr, perhaps to build online presence as well, but mostly what you said about getting exposed to different types of writing styles can be very beneficial especially to aspiring writers. Thanks for this! BTW, you look like the actress Drew Barrymore in this video. :)
Thank you i am glad you enjoyed it. 😉 and thank you! I've had quite a few people tell me that in my life. More so when I was younger
True!
This is my first time enjoying your RUclips channel. Great content! Looking forward to hearing more from you! Your video was so informative. Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching and thanks for your comments. Take care
Tiana I sincerely love❤️❣️ your video, I'm🙋 also a beta reader on Fiverr and I love the fact that you are been honest on your feedback and work closely with your client.
Well, being a beta reader on Fiverr is a great thing for me, I love helping authors achieve their goals ✨✨✨on any book they want to publish, because I know how frustrating😪 it is to publish a book and not get noticed.
Good luck to every author out there❤️👍.
That's sweet, thank you. Best of luck to you!
Hi interested to be a beta reader but I'm not sure if I'm fit to be one a reader but I LOVE reading I'm just scared to start being a beta reader cuz I don't know the ways or how to do it I'm a single mom and it would be good side job to do what I love to do read 🤩🥰
Usually the writer will give you certain things to look for or ask you questions in advance. Then you know what to watch for. You should give it a try!
@@TaniasWritingRealm oh wow thank you so much your so nice didn't really expect to have your reply on my comment
Lost of love from Philippines 🥰🥰💕💕
Love using Fiverr for some things. Thanks for sharing your perspective as a fiverr seller :)
Happy new year!
Happy New Years!
How fun!! :) Fiverr is a fun place to find people for different projects!! :)
It really is! 😀
New subscriber! I love this video thank you so much for sharing. I am working on setting up my fiver now thanks to you (yay!) I had a quick question, I got to the end of setting up my first gig and got to the requirements section. I have no idea what questions to ask! Any advice as both a writer and a beta reader?
Hello! Nice to meet you. 😊 I would suggest questions like: What feedback do you hope do recieve from me? Do you have specific concerns you would like me to focus on? Etc. I set up a template on word, where I paste their document on. At the top half, above it, I paste any questions they asked so that as I'm reading it, I can answer them.
@@TaniasWritingRealm Amazing thank you so much for responding. That's what I was thinking should go there but really had no idea. Appreciate all you're doing!
@@Sleepy0043 no problem! Any time. Good luck!
Congrats! I attempted proofreading/editing through upwork in the past, considered fiverr, but nothing came of it. I did also try hiring beta readers in my earlier days, but was generally disappointed. It was like I could see their attention/interest waning. They would be very good about offering feedback at the beginning, then offer less and less by the end of the project. It ended up not very helpful. These days I'm leaning more toward finding people I know (like authortubers I've interacted with) to offer an exchange of skills.
I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. I generally use my mom as a beta reader because she loves reading. Always honest feedback. I feel like a pro may offer more detailed feedback though. 🤔 if you can find the right one. I wish you luck finding someone that works for you
@@TaniasWritingRealm I currently have my sis and a friend, they're great for my ego but not for feedback. They just always tell me it's perfect! I have an Aunt who reads all my books and will sometimes offer feedback, but she likes to correct grammar and English isn't her first language, so that's hit or miss. The search continues!
@@authoremileeharris1645 maybe in the future we can connect 😀 I have a lot going on currently and not doing well. But maybe in a couple months we can chat again
Sounds good! I’ve been so overwhelmed trying to figure out marketing I haven’t made any headway on my next series, so hopefully when your schedule opens up I’ll have something to send you :)
Finding good and dedicated beta readers has always been a challenge for me despite book swapping--they typically renege on it and I end up doing it without a fair barter. So sad!
Great video!
Thank you!
I would love to do this.x
It's pretty fun actually
Interesting content
Thanks
I do have a question that I'd absolutely LOVE to do on Fiverr and I wonder if you wouldn't mind answering?
Absolutely
@@TaniasWritingRealm Do we have an opportunity, as sellers, to communicate with potential buyers before they make a final decision?
I've seen how certain beta readers have 10 orders in queue--what's to keep the buyers from cancelling since it's obvious the seller won't be able to beta read a full novel in a week (as promised) with 10 waiting?
I apologize, that was more than one question!
@@TaniasWritingRealm , my burning question is: would we be able to provide a free compatibility sample before the buyer makes a final choice?
@@ElizabethMuellerNovelist buyers can contact you through direct messaging before, during and after placing orders. They can ask for revisions if they are not happy.
I haven't had anyone cancel an order before to be honest so I'm not certain about how that works. I'm sure it's possible if the seller isn't responding or is very late on delivering.
Sellers can also limit how many orders they accept at any time through settings.
@@ElizabethMuellerNovelist I know you can display samples in your photos, of your previous work. Most of the info they need should be displayed in your description. But they can also ask questions before they officially place an order
How to setup this gig ?
Have you setup your fiverr account
@@TaniasWritingRealm yes, but I'm a newbie I don't know much

@@imad_vlogs4435 I would start by going to the website and browsing. Set up a profile log in. Look around and see what the dashboard looks like. Then watch some more videos about fiverr before you set up a gig.
