How I succeeded by NOT listening to Gurus... and how you can too
You're better than this...
“I hate them!”
What?
Commodity markets!
What?! Are you good bro?
Fiver, Upwork, and other freelancing platforms are what I call the “commodity markets”. And you should never create an account with them…
Let me explain…
After reading this you’ll delete your Fiverr account and make your friends delete theirs as well.
Something I have for you.
My New Course Cuts to Conversions is LIVE now for a Very Limited Time!!!
You get a complete roadmap to go from 0 to $20,000 per month.
Along with some extra limited-time goodies worth $1,000+ if you join today at the Lowest Price EVER.
Better grab your copy soon cause 30%+ are already gone and people who bought are just loving it!

Alrighty…let’s get into it.
5 Reasons For Avoiding Commodity Market Platforms Like Fiverr and Upwork to Sell Your Services:
1. It’s a Commodity Market… duh.
I was at a cricket stadium last month, and I was super hungry.
I was watching the match, shouting at the top of my voice, it’s obvious that soon enough my tummy let me know that fuel’s low…
I called a food vendor who was selling a packet of chips and coke for $3 (small pack, lol)
I was hungry so I took it, but then I wasn’t able to watch the match cause I started thinking about what happened and started breaking it down…
(Businessman Sayujya Has Been Activated)
The thing is, they were selling their services at a place where the demand broke the roof and the supply was close to none.
But if I just walked a mile and bought those same chips and the drink from a grocery shop, I would have gotten that for 1/3rd of the price.
And this is exactly what commodity markets (like Fiverr and Upwork) do!
Fiverr becomes a marketplace! When you try to sell high, the buyers just go to another shop to buy the same thing for cheaper!
That doesn’t happen when you position yourself as an expert on social media platforms.
When you have less competition, you win.
Just like I did, which set me apart from the crowd and gave me an unfair advantage to charge way higher!
Sell to a hungry audience, Sell where no one else is selling.
2. Network
All of the clients I’ve had till now and the ones I have right now are more like a friend to me.
No matter if they paid me $60/edit or $6,000/month. I know for a fact that they are working with “Sayujya Gupta” and not with a “freelancer”
Go ask anyone on Fiverr about their relationship with clients.
It’s always like:
Client: Here’s the work
Editor: Okay, Done
Client: Revision
Editor: Done
Client: Paid
Editor: Starts panicking for the next project.
This cycle keeps going till one day Fiverr marks you as a suspicious account and you have to start from scratch again.
Which leads me to the next point:
3. Rating System
I take a closing call before a client comes to me and ask him questions to know if we’re a correct fit to work or not.
If they seem like a person whom I don’t wanna work with, I decline the offer right there.
This is not something you can do at Fiverr, heck, clients don’t even know what calls are over there.
“So what, we get the work done through chat you know?”
Why not? And then you get that 1-star rating which fucks your next project up.
Fiverr works on a rating system, the more stars you get the more projects you get. But if the client was shitty and they gave you a negative review, guess what happens?
You know…
The algorithm starts ranking you lower than the other 46,846 dudes out there here to edit videos
4. Fees
18% upfront tax + Income Tax + Payment Processing Tax + Conversions Tax
Aren’t they all enough already?
Fiverr says NO!
You'll need to pay 20% of your upfront income to Fiverr just because you got a client through them.
C’mon.
For reals?
Okay…
Let’s do a small calculation:
If you’re charging $100 for a video you edit right now.
Fiver takes: 20% upfront (total: $80) Payment processors: 5% (total: $76) Govt takes: 18% of what you get: ($63.32)
Now if you do it the way I do, here’s the calculation:
You save 20%.
Boom.
That easy.
You make $1,000. You save $200
You make $10,000, You save $2,000.
You make $100,000. You save $20,000!
Do you see how big this gets in the long term?
That money you could do literally ANYTHING with!
Invest in yourself, buy courses, upgrade your skills, spend on yourself and your loved ones…
5. Time
If you’re a video editor, it’ll take you ages to find your first client through Fiverr, Upwork, or any of those platforms.
If you don’t believe me…
Try it out and see for yourself.
I know because I did and I didn’t get any clients when I was starting my journey.
And that is where Cuts To Conversions helps you.
It’ll help you find your first client and book it within a day.
The secrets I share in the course to find clients that pay you upwards of even $5,000 are unheard of…
And this is the best time to take on this opportunity.
We’ll be closing the sales off on 20th September, and will not let anyone in till the next launch. And I can tell you I am not thinking of launching this again anytime soon.
And by then, you’ll see all the results I’m posting about from the Cuts To Conversions members which will spike the price from $179…to higher.
A LOT HIGHER.
Don’t believe me?

An example of what people thought when I said what’s in there.
Look.
I am a man of value. I don’t sell courses just to “make a quick buck”
When I was being asked by 100s of people who wanted to buy my course… I didn’t create a shitty product and sell them.
I went in the dark… for months… improved my systems, secrets, and strategies, and simplified them so that anyone could understand and refine them multiple times to get you the best ROI for your money in the least amount of time.
It’s my job as an editor and an “expert” (what people who bought my course and the people in my network call me) to market my course and help as many editors as I can.
And I'm already happy with the people I’ve gotten, they themselves cannot believe what they got for THIS LOW PRICE. And I’m excited to grow them and share their results which the ones who didn’t buy will be seeing soon
I know you’re not one of those people who sit on the sidelines and watch opportunities go by…
I want you to succeed through systems and strategies… not struggles and years of time wasted in low-level opportunities.
Here: Your Opportunity
Alright friend, see you tomorrow.
Opportunities Like a Dream,
