Fivesquid closing

pacospain said:
No fiverr, aaggghh i joined them 10 years ago or so, they kicked all the good sellers out and started with the pro nonsense, as well very limited in placing gigs, i stopped to use legiit, owners are not really legiit at all (long story) seoclerks and zeerk i am on but zeerk is really cheap... also use konker, megapigs, pacayo but is quiet there i run several websites currently i working on them to get them really going well, i scraped all the emails of my clients on fivesquid (well someone did... not really the legal way but they did) they maybe go down but i will not

Konker still around? I feel like that site has been abandoned since forever.

What happened with Legiit? I also had a small trickle of money from there, until they banned social media services and removed all my services of course. Typical :D

Never heard of Megapigs and Pacayo. I'll check them out, thanks.

Don't disregard Fiverr man. For all their shit, there's a ton of hungry customers there. I mean, with all these sites, I learned to not take anything personally. If something happens, just make a new account, multiple accounts, whatever, and keep doing what you need to do.

In the end, the best thing you can do is have your own sites and make your money with them. That's why I don't really fuck with these gig sites anymore, because I earn enough from my websites. But still, I always keep those gig sites in my peripheral vision, so that if I ever have free time or not enough work, maybe I go put up some gigs on these sites.

In truth, I should put up easy gigs on all those sites. I only have a few on fiverr right now. Eh, if there was more time in a day and/or if I was a machine that can churn out 20 productive hour of work every day, would be nice :p

Oh man, 90% man? That's gotta hurt.

But, like, I had no services to sell there, because I couldn't sell social media services there since about 2 years ago.

But you clearly have some legit services. So go put them up on fiverr and zeerk and seoclerks and legiit and other such sites, just make your offers all over the place, and hopefully you can get some money coming in.



I gotta be honest with you, the 250 pounds I made on

I gotta be honest with you, the 250 pounds I made on there about 2 years ago, I had a pretty nice time. All the customers were cool, never any problems.

And even when Fivesquid removed my gigs, it wasn't like a fiverr thing where they remove all your gigs and ban you. Fivesquid removed all my gigs, and left me with 1 gig, and didn't penalize me in any way. Okay, thanks.

So anyway, I always held fivesquid in high esteem. But now that they're scamsquid, they fucked it all up :/

Yeah. I was making some really nice side income on fiverr with SMM once upon a time. Then they killed all such services.

A few months later I went back with a little less obvious services. Instead of "Buy 1000 facebook likes" i made offers like "buy facebook marketing". And that worked, and after i got some reviews, i started making money again.

But of course, eventually, inevitably, they banned all my gigs and my account :D

But whatever, it was a little fun while it lasted. I made some nice money, and I managed to get a bunch of customers off of fiverr, to buy from me directly. But of course I hated the pressure of reply time percentage and order delivery deadlines and shitty fiverr buyers that youre bound to cross paths with.

In any case. If my world crashes down some day, I'm getting right back on fiverr to sell/resell whatever. So many hungry buyers there it's nuts.

What about seo Clerks, legitt or leggit ? Do they allow smm?
Where else you can sell smm, ebay? Etsy?
Edit: I see legitt is trying to be white hat.

Nope. Seoclerks also removed all SMM gigs a year or two ago. Legiit did the same thing.

I never tried ebay and etsy, but I would imagine they hate us too :D

It's hard out here for a pimp man. Takes balls to sell SMM in this day and age :D

Yes crypto is cool litecoin is like 2% transaction fee problem is people don't know or find hard to use crypto and there is low trust for crypto.
 
pacospain said:
no only megapigs and pacayo allow the sell of EVERYTHING
Click to expand...

Yeah I bookmarked them to check them out when I get some free time.

But are they worth it? I mean, is there any traffic/customers on there, or are they graveyards?

Yeah exactly. You really know your shit man :D

That's exactly the problem. I doubt fiverr and seoclerks and any of them has a problem with SMM. They just wanna make money, they don't give a shit. But the payment processors make problems, so the gigs sites have to remove SMM services.

Yeah, it all comes down to son of a bitch paypal in the end! :D
 
well we got some descent sales on the 2 websites, lately not but in the past yes, and paypal another headache, had 3 accounts, everything was going fine, until the country where i am made restrictions on it, because they simply in a big debt because of covid and try to get everywhere money from (TAXES) all paypal account got closed, after i answered (never do that) on their request how was the support?... i said was useless took 30 minutes 1 account closed that evening they went for a search other 2 closed, i found a guide regarding paypal, (so corrupt) better never contact them, they have even reasons for to close your account because they did not got laid a while... or are in a bad moot it is pretty sad, but true corrupt company that does not give a shit anymore... however 'stupid' people/buyers think it is everything... unfortunately
 
my problem was on freelance platforms i sell a lot for adult / casino websites ... not allowed, besides before on fivesquid, but zeerk, legiit, fiverr all not allowed
 
i think peopleperhour will not last much longer, bad business plan, they struggle, now their clearing time is useless, because even after clearing time and already paid out to you, if they get a charge back after 1 or 2 months they will still take it from you, they just take the funds of another order or place your balance in red numbers, support is brainless and they try to control every message you send on a proposal, they checking the wrong things, just plain bad, but again another one that does allow most things

paypal is always a headache, yes. They just flip a coin and make decisions.

Ah, I see. So you understand where I'm coming from with my services :p

Man, i look at peopleperhour the same way as i look at upwork. You go on there, and you can't figure out which way is up and which way is down. I always found these two platforms utterly confusing, so I never used them, even back when I was using all of these gig sites to sell services.

In any case, I do have peopleperhour bookmarked, and i guess i would consider it a legit site. The same as upwork, they're both legit.

IM Rider said:
Are those your sites?
they got 0 and 0 traffic.

hahaha ohhh can't slip nothing by Mr IM Rider here :D

Could well be actually. Ok, respect to the hustle right :p

Traffic is everything right, no traffic no money.

Well, yeah, but not always.

Like, so you sell pens on your pens.com site, and you get 0 traffic.

But you have that 1 customer who has realpens.com and he has 10,000 customers, and he buys your pens.

So now you have no traffic, but you may be making real real nice money.

I don't know :D

I mean for a market place. Like bhw, ebay, Amazon and etsy are a marketplace.
 
@pacospain I spoke to the owner of Fivesquid to buy the site as well, he told me he was down for it but when I analyzed the infrastructure and current business standing felt that he had gone all out trying to beat other market places which resulted in him taking on £100k of debt (though the majority of this is a bounce back loan which is payable by instalments). Also there was a lot of staff overheads which could have been easily streamlined along with marketing expenses but this is a simple case of run after fast growth and burn out.

So for me to invest and acquire it would be paying off his business debt+site cost and since he was also in process of liquidating company(when we discussed he hadn't signed off on it), so was thinking if he liquidated and I transfered site it into a new company then I would have a support nightmare and PR outlash since buyers and sellers would be delayed like crazy on hand over and these guys had stopped paying out since when u have so much debt to pay back monthly makes sense but not fair to users. Thus I decided to hold off on it.
