Honesty is the best policy

Hello all,

I want to tell you a story about how my honesty brings me around $800 today.

Actually, it was 3-4 months back when one lady messages me on telegram for PR Services on telegram, actually one of my clients referred my name to her but tbh the client who referred doesn't know anything about me or my real identity.

So, the woman wants an article on one PR website and I told her the price which is $300, and send her the eth address and she sent all the money in just one go. Later, I checked the article it was about porn/adult niche articles and that website didn't allow that. Now, She told me to refund. For the moment I thought I should block her and delete this telegram number which I created from the text now and tbh I was really in the need of the money at that month because I had earned only $60-$70 and at that time $300 can be a good deal but somehow I couldn't make myself to do this thing and returned her money.


A few days back, I randomly got the message from 2 separate guys who told me they want to buy a press release from me and I think it was just 5-10 minutes in which I have earned around $400 profit and yesterday that woman himself messaged me for some websites and again I made around $400 profit in this and if all good we can have around $300-$400 monthly.

If you have followed my past threads you know that my all funds are stuck on Fiverr and I was seriously looking for some earning and these things just push me up to make me believe in myself again.

All I want to say that please try to be honest in every situation because you never know what your honesty can give you.

Thank you and sorry in advance for any grammatical mistakes. (not a good writer)

Namaste

When you tag your brand as integrity your value will be priceless and those that will come for your service are sure to pay the bill no matter how expensive

Amazing read. Just another proof that God gives rewards to each and always, you just have to do some right action, and in this case, some proper decision.

Karma in action
Principle of reciprocity had always worked in my favor. When i first dived into freelancing, I got scammed twice in a row, but the third one was a lottery

True.. Honesty is key

Honesty is the best policy, correct.

I know the feeling bro.

Exactly, be fair and don't scam people. I know I couldn't. Make people happy, not sad.

Yep, Karma does work.

It does, honesty is should be in the brand and also in all our conduct and action. Don't do this for the reward, it is a long term things to build upon. Example I have once got customer that purchase some things, he accidently transfer 10x the normal ammount. I return the money, he say thank, and thats it. (BTW in that case even if i take the money there's nothing he can do, since it's 100% online transaction).

Good for you bro

Yes, Being honest will give you peace. Always remembers that our one mistake can destroy someone's savings or their dream of buying anything.

I got scammed plenty but always kept straight.

Rewards have been 100x the amount I've been robbed.

Yes, not to mention the money can be for medical purpose.

How come your funds are stuck on Fiverr? Why? And how are you going to get them out?

8 years ago, I was working for a client on Odesk (upwork now), I couldn't complete the 800$ project in time, the client said he is losing money because of this, so although I did 70% of the work and spent around 500$ from my pocket, I refunded the 500$ he already paid, gave him all the 70% of the work for FREE.

Later, the client came back to me with another similar project, I said: I am afraid I can't complete in time (actually I didn't wanna do the project).

Client: Take time, no problem.

Me: I am afraid I will have to double the rate because I'll have to assign more workers to ensure quality and to finish the work in a legitimate timeframe. (Actually I didn't wanna do it and thought he will run away if I ask double).

Client: Okay. Take the project.

Me: Okay can't decline now. I took the project.

For the next 1 year, every month he gave me new projects, in total he gave me 30,000$ worth projects in 1 year.

Exactly. What a well brought message

Nice brother, karma got back to you in a good way this time. Maybe it was a test to see how one would react when in need of money. I believe only a very few people would've returned that money. Great story
