Why I Quit Fiverr: The Real Story
Updated: Aug 9
Hey there, Demetri Welsh here. So, I’ve been getting this question a lot lately: “Demetri, why the hell did you quit Fiverr?” It's a damn good question, and I’m not one to shy away from telling it like it is. Let’s dive into this shit and get real about it.
First off, Fiverr takes a ridiculous chunk out of your earnings. We're talking about 40% here, people. That’s almost half of what you make going straight into their pockets. Now, I’ve seen other platforms, and this is by far the highest commission rate around. The talented sellers on Fiverr deserve to earn what they’re worth, but that ain’t really happening with those kinds of cuts.
Then, there's the buyers. Some are great, but others? Total nightmares. You’ve got these assholes who order, then demand a refund, and then order again, and again. It's a never-ending cycle of bullshit. And when you try to call out this scammy behavior, Fiverr’s customer service treats you like the problem. It's like being kicked while you’re already down.
But here’s the kicker for me. Fiverr looks down on spiritual services. Yep, they straight up told me that as long as I was in the spirituality section, I’d never make it to their so-called "top seller" status. I had over 12,000 five-star reviews and earned more than half a million dollars on that platform. But none of that mattered because I didn’t fit into their neat little box.
After a lot of soul-searching and meditation, I decided to take my energy elsewhere. I built my own damn website where I can do things my way. No more jumping through Fiverr’s hoops. Now, I’ve got my music, my books, and my services all in one place. It’s where my heart is, and I don’t have to follow anyone else's bullshit rules to reach my goals.
To answer the burning question, no, I didn’t get fired from Fiverr. I left on my own terms, and I couldn’t be happier about it. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again – I don’t fit into a box, so I created my own Universe. And you can do it too. Manifestation is real, and it’s fucking powerful.
Stay wild, stay free, and keep chasing your dreams.
That’s the lowdown, folks. Keep sending in your questions, and I’ll keep giving you the raw, unfiltered truth.
Peace out,
Demetri Welsh
