Ask Is it worth having a Fiverr gig and a direct website at the same time?

[Brendan]

Some freelancers prefer to find clients on their own website so they do not have to pay high fees to a platform. However, sites like Fiverr already have millions of buyers looking for help, which makes finding work much faster. Balancing both can be a lot of work because you have to manage different schedules and messages. Do you think it is better to focus on one place? Or is it safer to have your own site just in case?
