Over expectations on fiverr... funny

by thedog
6 replies
So, I put this gig up for a laugh, http://fiverr.com/bringitvideo/displ...-you-the-video

I get my first order, and they're asking me if this is a real ad in Times Square, and if not... can they have their money back!

Priceless

So, I've less than 2 days to get my a$$ from China to New York, and erect a billboard in Times Square... for less than $4... I want to make a profit... any ideas?

    Um, Photoshop.

    This is where Photoshop becomes your best friend. If people can manufacture billion dollar bank accounts for "proof" in their ads, I'm sure you can erect quite the fine "Times Square" billboard...and still rank in a handsome profit! :rolleyes:

    I guess they didn't get the memo that Times Square billboard rent just a wee bit higher than $5. It seems obvious to me from your gig that you are photoshopping and not providing the "real deal", but you may want to update your description to make that more clear. You WILL get more of that response, sadly.

      Holy crap... I guess some people really are that dumb

      Kind of reminds me, when you see products... and they have to put, not actual size on them...

      Thanks for the heads up

    Definitely update the description AND title.

    Some people on Fiverr just look at the photo when buying. They dont even bother to read it.
