TheyRave for Fiverr and Upwork freelancers
Your five stars belong to the marketplace
On Fiverr and Upwork your reviews are part of your profile there. They help you win the next job on that marketplace and nowhere else. A client who hears about you from a friend or a post cannot read them without an account and a search, and a suspended or closed profile takes every one of them with it. Once work starts coming from outside the marketplace, proof you can link to is what lets a new client say yes without a call.
When to ask
When the client approves the final delivery and the order closes.
Send the link then, not in a follow-up a month later. A review is written in the mood the buyer is in when they get the link, and that is the mood you want on the page.
What to ask
The form has one box, and what goes in it depends on what you asked. These get an answer a stranger can use. “Great seller” does not.
- What did you need done, and how big was the job?
- How did the work hold up once you started using it?
- What would you tell somebody comparing freelancers for the same job?
What lands on your page
An example, written to show the shape. The name, the tags and the verified mark come from the reviewer and the link they used, and nothing shows until you approve it.
Example
Sent nine thousand messy rows on a Friday. By Monday morning they were clean and deduplicated, with a short list of the forty she was not sure about.
Worth knowing
Both sites have rules about contact details and outside links in messages, and breaking them can cost you the account. Read them before you send your link through either. A client who reached you away from the marketplace needs nobody's permission.
