A Nice Client Sent Me a Video

I write video scripts, but I rarely get to see how the video turns out. I deliver the script, modify it if needed, and that's it; clients move on with the work, and rarely send me the link to the finished video.

Recently, though, one client did, and he allowed me to share it as a sample. Yay! Their product seems rather useful for a very big group of people (basically, supermarket owners, supermarket staff, PLUS pretty much every shopper), and I like writing scripts about useful and helpful stuff; I like it even better when I see the video itself, because it helps me learn what works, what doesn't, and how to improve my writing.

Without further ado, here it is. Enjoy!

Back to Work!

Holidays are over, including the Orthodox Christmas (it's two weeks later than the Western one), so I'm back to work now. It's as scary as always, not to mention that Fiverr has been more buggy than usual after the maintenance and the server migration, but there's no use complaining or worrying; it's better to do something productive, like play with the gigs. And that's what I did as soon as I got back: I have added two images to my main gig (screenshots, actually, with an explanation and an example). Take a look!



The lower picture, the example, is an actual script I've written for a client (and obtained the permission to use it as a sample); the one above explains what a video script looks like. Maybe it will help some buyers who have no experience with video scripts and don't know what to expect, and if someone asks for a sample, hey, there it is.

I'll see what happens, and I'll keep playing.

Check Out the New Forum!

New Fiverr Forum is up and live, faster than ever, and offers you loads of fun.

There are badges and levels to be earned, it's easy to mute topics you're not interested in (like endless self-promotion), you can edit your forum profile (here's mine), explore, read, learn... And all of it works pretty good. Some tweaks would be helpful, like an easier way to follow a conversation within a certain thread, but I'm sure that the team is already working on it. EDIT: It looks like nested responses are not possible on this type of forum (Discourse). Well, at least everyone got the answer and the explanation within a few hours of the request being raised; that's SUPERfast.

On top of that, random bots can no longer spam the forum; desperate users will find it difficult to spam, too, because posting is limited at first, and I seriously doubt that spammers will get the limit lifted anytime soon.

So... Go on, and check out the new and improved forum. It might take some time getting used to, but it's really good.

P.S. As an added bonus, there are cat emojis, too. And a scorpion emoji. And a lot of fun.
