This is probably more obvious to HN readers than the average buyer

  Why would you think you could get any sort of creative work at all for 5 dollars? Even at just above minimum wage, wouldn't the time this person spent communicating with you about your company consume at least $5 of wages, before any actual graphical work began? At the very least I'd hope $5 worth of thought went into it before $5 worth of actual drawing work commenced. In other news oh my god my $5 shoes fell apart.

    Reading the description of a company should take no more than 1-2 minutes. I understand that drawing takes time but I could easily do some form of creative blurb writing at $5 a pop and make $50 an hour. Couldn't you?

      Have you actually done this? If not, you're just making up numbers. What's the variance? etc. etc.
      • Dylan16807 12y ago
        I haven't done it because nobody is willing to pay $5 for a blurb. But here I'll do you one for free: "JabavuAdams - insight for a modern world" or "JabavuAdams - jack into the future [game link]" The point is that doing some kind of fast creative work is physically possible. You can even get quality creative work for a few dollars. Go find a street artist.

    I think that on Fiver you give creative direction and that's what they go on, they probably don't care too much about your company.
