More Thoughts on Fiverr and Graphic Design [Rant]
Some people think I’ve been unfair to Fiverr…

So in this video I tried to address in a more practical less ranty way, but I ended up in a rant anyway.

Fiverr is not for Graphic Design. It is for task that you can put a clock on. I think that Fiverr itself is not inherintley bad. But marketers ruin everything… I say that as a marketer… so does Gary Vee. And it’s true. The Marketing of Fiverr and the bottom of the barrel mentality is the problem.

It tries to pass bargain shopping as professional grade, and that is my biggest issue. If you’re the bargain grab bag, own it. These businesses would not hire a $5 lawyer even if someone tried to market it to them. They would say that is insane and there is no way that can work out well… but for something like design or creative they are willing to devalue it very quickly.

Fiverr can and should be used appropriately for things like micro-consulting and transcription and data entry. It’s not meant to be sweatshop labor for creative services. But that is what it currently is.
