Ask HN: Whats your opinion about open office spaces
I work out of an open office space and often find myself distracted from the noise and people moving around. One strategy I use to focus on my work is listening to white noise using a headphone during work-which do not look like a sustainable solution. Am I the only person who finds the idea of open office space annoying and counterproductive.

- I have completed about ~150 programming gigs on fiverr as a seller. Most of them are small tasks related to python/ google app scripts.
- My average selling price is ~50$. Buyers on fiverr are moslty looking for short-term projects or get some very specific things done.
- It highly competitive, especially if you are just getting started. Building a reputation through reviews is very important for potential buyers to find you.
- Best advice would be to get around 10 reviews by pricing the service around $5-$25(easy to get gigs in the range). Once you have some good reviews, you will rank better in their search and have the leverage to charge buyers more.
- Nice thing about fiverr is you don't have to bid for work as a seller. Potential buyers will contact you if they find out what you offer through your gig description.
Experience so far has been good- buyers are straightforward and happy if you give them quality service.

There is a lot of details missing in the write up like what exactly lead to the ordeal with freelancer.com customer service agent and subsequent account limitation.
The usual process is quite seamless - you bid, get the contract, you get paid few days after you deliver the job .
I also had a bad experience with the cs executive of a similar freelance site before. Most of them are quite insensitive and do exactly what they are said to do without even trying to understand the context of the issue.
I believe this is such a case. It would have made much sense if the author could have explained the issue in detail so that readers can decide for themselves who is wrong here.
