Why VoiceOverPete should join Steem!
News broke out recently of VoiceOverPete who has become really popular in the gaming community by doing funny voice overs was banned from Fiverr today. If you don't know what Fiverr is, it's a site where you can buy services of people doing all sorts of tasks for you while the site works as an intermediary. I think I'll let the video that VoiceOverPete and his son uploaded to youtube explain the situation.
All I have to say is what a disgusting way from Fiverr to act this way, not only did they ban him for something really unnecessary (how dumb do you have to be to take his voice overs seriously when he jokingly asks for your credit card information) but then refund all pending customers with onsite currency only and still take a $2 service fee per order. They didn't warn or contact him about it before hand and he can't even access the funds that were left on his account that he has earned.
The internet is going crazy over this and even famous youtubers such as pewdiepie are making videos about this incident and hoping that Fiverr will undo the ban. It might not look that way though and VoiceOverPete is looking to change platforms onto Patreon instead which is a platform where you can subscribe to content creators and donate to them in a monthly basis.
This is why VoiceOverPete should join Steem instead!
He could easily do his service here and at the same time get rewarded for his voiceovers when posting it as content, his growing userbase would be able to upvote him.
No transaction fees and no middlemen! Buyers of his service would not have to rely on middlemen taking a cut on each order.
Better marketing and connection to a broader audience.
Most importantly, no chances of getting banned, ever. Even if @dtube would suddenly turn evil and ban him from their front-end, he could still post videos onto another platform and none of his accumulated stake would ever be at risk.
So what do you think Steemians? Wouldn't our platform be so much better?
Let's make him aware by retweeting this post to him @VoiceoverPete ! :)
Is there a fiverr dapp on Steem? Ive been asking about one for almost a year now. Too much talent not to utilize it. Im going to tweet this to him now... Thanks for the heads up!

I dont think there is a fiverr dapp on steem
@steemgigs was supposed to function like fiverr
They should call it Steemerr. :D
XD I hope someone does it. i know there is Steemgigs right? It cannot be that difficult to make it happen.
I was going to build it last summer ('17), and talked to the steemgigs guys way back then, and they said they were on it, so I didn't bother. Do they still exist?
That would actually be a great dapp. No middleman, no fees, and lots of talent here already!
That is an excellent idea imo.
Fiverr is so popular and I guess it will have a huge impact on steem if a similar dApp is made here.
I would have loved to build one but sadly I am not a developer. 😔
I really really hope someone does... there is so much potential with it.

This isn't steem based, but some people are doing a crypto related freelance market called Stipend. It's currently in alpha and I haven't looked at it much more than that as of yet.

Ooh, thanks for this! I had no clue such a thing existed!
No problem!

Yeah, after speaking w/ @surpassinggoogle, I have found out that the DB server is gone! Hopefully it should be back soon?!?
I just discovered it thanks to your comment and I was very sad. It is important that they return

Cool, his service could potentially be sold using steemit as a platform, but it would be cool if there was a marketplace like fiverr on steemit, is there such a place, I think I heard about something called steemit gigs or something like that?
Great article thanks for sharing @acidyo...
/FF
the more people who have followers we bring onto steem the more we'll increase all the metrics
I think Steem would be a great fit for him. I can definitely see us attracting the gaming community over here, and he would be a nice ambassador for that.
Would be awesome to see him come here. It would definitely be a gateway to get other gamers here. I love the references at the end.
Thank you so much. Done
Done !!!!
And I think resteem is a good idea too. Just all resteem this post for Pete.
