Almighty painter

Chapter 6 Fiverr
“Are you sure you want to transfer $300 to the beneficiary [Krell Clean Water Fund]?”

Gu Weijing looked at the transfer prompt that popped up on his mobile phone, and without much hesitation, he clicked to confirm the payment.

He is a person with very low material desires, and he has more than 300 US dollars in his account, so he might as well donate it to exchange for experience points.

According to the exchange ratio of 10 US dollars: 1 experience value, I need to donate nearly 3 knives to raise the proficiency level lv.[-] sketch to the next level.

Even to gain one hundred experience points from level 2 to level 3, it would cost a full thousand knives.

Gu Weijing definitely doesn't have so much money now, but charitable donations add up, and with his daily practice and improvement experience, he is still quite optimistic.

【You have successfully donated: $5.31】

[You have obtained additional experience points: 0.531]

Huh?
Gu Weijing wondered if he was underestimated, or something went wrong during the operation.

He reopened paypal (international mobile payment software) and checked the payment details.

Undoubtedly, it was three hundred dollars that was transferred from his account instead of a small amount of $5.31.

[In order to prevent players from taking tax avoidance or making false donations in the name of charity and actually using them for personal enjoyment, this system only calculates the expenses that are really used on the recipients. 】——The system pops up such a prompt.

"Tax avoidance in the name of charity or false donations are actually used for personal enjoyment?"

Gu Weijing was stunned for a second.

He knows that charitable donations are a tax avoidance method for some high-income rich people.

In many developed countries, the tax rate is extremely high for inheritances above a certain amount.

During World War II, the British Chancellor of the Exchequer even implemented an inheritance tax of 90.00%.

What kind of concept is this? Your rich dad died and left a legacy of 100 million pounds.Sorry, you can only inherit 98 pounds, and the remaining [-] pounds are inheritance tax.

Congratulations, you have changed from a son-in-law to a hard-working working class once you succeed.

Charity is tax-free in most cases. If your father establishes a charitable foundation with 100 million pounds and appoints his son as the CEO of the foundation, then there is no need to pay a penny of tax.

That's why we often see American rich people donate naked at every turn, and they are nothing compared to really benevolent people with noble morals.

"But am I really the actual donation?"

He reacted immediately, staring at the [Krell Clean Water Fund], which is headquartered in Singapore and claims to be committed to providing healthy and clean drinking water for the third world countries in Africa, on the computer, and he gritted his teeth.

"I'll go, you're greedy for my money? Shameless."

For private charitable funds, the management in western countries is relatively loose.

In the top universities in the world, you can always see someone driving a sports car on campus every day, dating girls, doing nothing, just hanging out in fraternity or sorority parties, but still being an outstanding alumni Graduated students, these people are generally called "donors" or "Special Cases (special caregivers)".

If you have the right to look at the donation account in the school, or have participated in the appreciation reception held by the school director.

It can be found that the charitable foundation under the name of the father and mother of these people probably donated a library to the campus or sent millions of dollars to a certain laboratory in the name of charitable donations.

It is not to say that the second generation of the rich must not work hard in school, nor does it mean that there must be insider trading in charitable donations to universities. On the contrary, this is a rare case, but it is real.

The same is true for hospitals.

So some people say that donating to patients and students is true charity; while donating to hospitals and universities is actually an act of investment.

You could start a marine conservation foundation and invest $2000 million a year in two conservation projects.One of the projects is for dolphin protection, $1990.The other is that the content of the project is to buy a blue ocean yacht and go out to sea with five Victoria's Secret supermodels to shoot a marine promotional film in the Atlantic Ocean. The cost is [-] million US dollars.

According to media reports, the average employee salary of a private charity in the United States is about [-] to [-] US dollars, which is much higher than the average income.

Gu Weijing has no right to despise them. After all, it is their own money. Even if it is only [-]% spent on people in need, it is better than using it to open a casino or something.

But this kind of foundation for public donations is going too far.

"It seems that if possible in the future, you should do it yourself, instead of directly transferring money to this kind of foundation that doesn't know the details."

The money has already been transferred, and Gu Weijing can only suffer from this dumb loss. He knows that he has no ability to find evidence of the other party's violation, so he keeps this so-called [Krell Clean Water Fund] in his heart and closes the page.

There's no point in dwelling on what has already happened.

He only has two goals in his heart now, one is to make money, and the other is to continue to improve his painting level.

Or that they are not the same thing at all.

……

[Sketch experience +23]

[Sketch lv.3 semi-professional (374/1000)]

Gu Weijing put down his brush and looked at the big cat wearing glasses on the sketch paper in front of him.

The skill he has mastered [Menzel's Basic Drawing Experience] requires at least one day's interval before it can be activated again.

Without the blessing of perfection-level skills, even if he spent much longer on this sketch than that small-sized colored pencil drawing.

But not only is the finished product far less stunning than that painting, but the increased proficiency is also less than one-sixth of that painting.

Sketching is the foundation of all fine art painting, and Gu Weijing, who already knows the gap between himself and a real master, plans to upgrade his sketching skills to lv.4 first.

"Great rewards for the opening, contracted artists for professional galleries, part-time illustrators, the first twenty custom-made works are only ten dollars each. The submission is on time, and the manuscript will never be out..."

Gu Weijing uploaded the sketch to the computer with the scanner in the calligraphy and painting shop, and at the same time edited his own copywriting on fiverr's store webpage.

"Fiverr.com"

The cross-border part-time job platform, originally famous for the concept of earning five dollars for a part-time job in 5 minutes, is now one of the part-time job search platforms with the most freelancers in the world.

The most famous joke is that a software engineer of a Silicon Valley Internet company applied to the company to work from home, and then subcontracted the code work to the third brother on Fiverr at a monthly price of 2000 knives.He himself is leisurely and leisurely eating, drinking, having fun and doing nothing, and he has been selected as an excellent employee until he was discovered three years later.

Painters, translators, tour guides, actuaries, copywriters, code masters, software engineers... There are all kinds of occupations, and the needs of buyers are also varied.

"Part-time online illustrator."

This is the best money-making strategy that Gu Weijing can think of at the moment.

This sketch of a cat detective wearing Sherlock Holmes glasses is the shop poster and sign he designed for himself.

It is basically impossible for a middle school student like him to earn money by selling paintings in galleries.

The purchasing power of local people in Yangon is very limited. If you delay your daily study in order to find a profitable job, you will put the cart before the horse and the loss outweighs the gain.

There are more than one million part-timers registered on Fiverr around the world, most of whom do simple English-native language translation work, and there are thousands of people online in the separate illustrator category.

He uploaded his sketch cat to the homepage of the store he had just registered as a poster of the store, and he could see the sketch immediately.

The reason for choosing Cat Detective as a signboard is that the potential buyers who make an appointment on Fiverr generally like all kinds of animal illustrations.And this kind of small creativity makes others more willing to believe that this is their own real painting rather than a random picture found on the Internet.

Many part-time illustrators on Fiverr have a joking nature of giving it a try, coupled with introverted personality and poor communication with others, the homepage design is very sloppy.

Not only is there no poster, the store introduction is only a few words, and no personal portfolio has been uploaded.

They may also have a good level of painting, but compared with these people, Gu Weijing's homepage has more information, which obviously makes buyers feel more at ease.

And for those old painters who have more than five years of business experience and thousands of transaction records on fiverr.

His strategy is to fight a price war. When others ask for fifty dollars, he asks for ten dollars.

Anyway, what I need is to practice my brush, and making money is just a step to improve my painting skills.

Low price is always an advantage, anyone wants to buy Van Gogh's works at the price of cabbage, even gringos with deep pockets.

Gu Weijing finally uploaded a few satisfactory works he had drawn before, and then wrote the English slogan on the homepage in Chinese, and then translated it into French, Japanese, Spanish, German and Portuguese with translation software , and finally clicked Upload.
