The heck, some of the guys from gfy were asking for $100+ for 15-20 seconds simple video intro and true, I don't know what it takes to make that but obviously those guys on fiverr provided those that I was happy with for only $5 per piece. What's wrong with this? And really guys...does it really really cost $100+ to make that short of a video intro? Just curious. Because to me, it sounds like over-priced.
Conclusion is, I don't have mountains of money packed in my room and I will find whoever will work with my price range. It's not like I am threatening you to work for me so what is the problem here?  |
Price of $100 in fact is pretty cheap. It takes months of reading, learning and practicing to learn 3D Modeler program , Adobe products - and in the mean time the designer is not making a money, because he's investing with time to learn how to work with certain program. With talent and imagination, his or her skills with the program can make your business look big, winning and wealthy. Have in mind that it takes some time to build your character, to show it to you - you approve it, then the procedure of back and forth comes as many times as it takes until the designer makes what you need. Conclusion one: It take time to make your presentation - there are people who specializes only with 3D modelling and they are champions within that area. It's degrading for that kind of people with years of experience to work for 5 bucks.
About the fact you don't have mountains of money - same is with most people around.
A question: What's the cheapest service of your business and don't you think it's overpriced? If you say "NO", then why? Would you offer your service at fiverr for 5 bucks?
If you're living in India can you pay for high speed internet connection with 5 bucks?
If you're US resident what can you with $5?
I'm from Europe and you can't do much with $5. That's not even 5 euro and it's bad way to repay the hours, weeks, months or even years spent to learn something new so you can be actual and the clients to look for you.
If you're in this business you probably know how important is the job of the webmasters, the developers, the sellers, the system administrators and last the guys you want to work for 30 bucks - first 15, then other 15.
Once again - I'm not trying to lecture you- just pointing out how miserable is the whole situation.
