If you need any graphic design done definitely go to @KayePi they are a dream to work with.
This person wants a free "test" article, with compensation dependent on vague criteria.
"Before we commit, we would like to ask for a test article on one of the topics we will provide, so we can also work out any doubts and questions on the way. If the article is successful and we decide to work together it will be compensated and we can begin the continuous collaboration :)"
I first read a post by workered on forhire for scraping. Hired him to build me a scraper for a review site. That was done quickly so I asked for another scraper to pull in company urls from a list I had. He completed that quickly also. I requested some changes and he made them without fuss. I was happy with the experience and would use him again.
u/Horikoshi posted a few times on r/forhire and other subreddits. I responded and joined his discord. In the discord I discussed a mini demo project working with AWS. We agreed on a price and even had a conference call with one of my developers. He asked for $200 deposit (50%). After a few days I asked about status and he said he wasn't done but he'd expedite things due to my schedule. That's the last I heard from him. I messaged him a few times on discord without success. Since then I've hired someone else to do the job. I requested a refund but of course he's not responding.
I just commissioned some warhammer art for and art in general for the first time. I took a shot in the dark based off a message on a random post I made. He is super kind, communicative, understanding and skilled. He worked with my budget offering me lots of deals and even threw in some extra work free. He offers unlimited revisions too actually and even with his school work he keeps at it and keeps me in the loop. Highly reccomend if you want fair prices for good pieces!
I had never commissioned any artwork before, but I needed something with certain technical specifications for a project I'm working on. I had already had one previous failed attempt to find someone to do this work, and u/Bluntdude_24 responded to my second post. I could tell he really understood the technical requirements and he made an effort to get to know the nuance of it. He was patient, friendly, and very responsive, moving through the fairly large project with an impressive pace, and producing beautiful art. He was very persistent and dedicated and followed through with all the details and delivered a beautiful finished piece of clean vector graphics, just as I needed.
After that very positive experience, I hired him again, for a related project. This one had less particular technical requirements, but was a logo, which I cared deeply about. He very patiently produced endless variations and iterations until we finally honed in on exactly what I wanted, and the final result is just perfect. Despite it taking significantly longer than expected, and my very picky fiddling with it, he maintained a good attitude and never wavered in his commitment to the project. I am eminently happy with the result.
I couldn't recommend him more highly, and I will certainly go to him when my next project requires visual arts work.
I reached out to u/Antony_vintage after I was not able to find anyone who could restore an old photo. The old photo is a polaroid from April, 1970. It is extremely aged. It has cracks running through it, it is yellowed / discolored badly. The fading due to being a polaroid is extreme.
This was a restoration for my wife. It was the last photo of her father who served in Viet Nam (Navy) before his death. It has him, her grandfather and uncle it in.
Anthony guided this effort as someone who knows exactly what they do. He was very patient as I looked for anything he can use as a reference for his work. The outcome is fantastic, my wife cried. Her sister is stunned. The restoration looks like it was taken this past weekend. The faces are very clear, the color is corrected. The cracks are gone.
I have to say "thank you" to Anthony, and if you need old photo's restored, I will gladly point you in his direction.
Thanks Anthony.
I worked with him a while back, he made a post about promoting water bottles, which I happily took. He followed through with his promise to send the water bottles, and they are very nice, but he made zero indication he received the photos to the email he told me to send them to, nor did he pay me for my time. He is nice, and the water bottles were fairly pricy, but I’m still a bit annoyed he flaked on me like that. I have screenshots of everything if people wish to see. I’m happily DM them to you.
I hired /u/zmaster16 to develop a custom Golang CLI app (from /r/forhire)
They understood the problem, and developed it to spec quickly (with all my test cases working first time).
Great communication too. They were open to tweaks and kept me in the loop with delivery timeline.
Would happily work with /u/zmaster16 again, and intend to
u/kingdom_gone hired me to code a custom CLI tool in golang. Everything went very smoothly, I did the work before getting paid but never doubted for a minute that the exchange would be anything but above board. Would be a pleasure to work with them again, and I would recommend doing business with them.
Looking for a job hits one psyche like a hammer hits an old waffle. This guy literally found me a perfect job, after only 25 applications - 11/10, I didn't have to do anything but go for the interview
I'm doing a task for Christ( u/spitcool ), for 3 days filling out the airtable for products. Christ is a nice guy, he's friendly and good at communicating. When i happen to confused and have a lot of question for the task, Christ answered all perfectly and scheduled a Zoom meeting explaining the task and giving me samples of the task. After i completed the task he paid me immediately at the moment
Christ is good person to work with, and will definitely work for him again if there's another opportunity!
I commissioned crossover fanart of Wendy from Path To Nowhere as a cleaner in W. Corp from Library of Ruina/Limbus Company. Long story short, the whole process was incredibly fun! I got one update per day regarding the process and Ocetee would ask me what I thought about it. He was also very patient during the early process when I was deciding what pose was best for Wendy.
He also incorporated all the details I wanted in beautifully (the lettering for the “Love Town” being squiggly like the original, the dog tags at Wendy’s belt slightly stained with blood) and I’m in love with the end result. Genuinely cannot stop looking at it. I do not regret every dollar spent on this commission, given how perfectly it turned out. So thank you so much, u/Ocetee, you were brilliant at bringing my scenario to life and it was amazing working with you on it.
Created a graphic design quickly and for a super reasonable price. Easy design but it was completed within 15 minutes and exactly what was needed.
this user: u/LeGrandDuplessis/ often creates post for hiring people from different subreddits.
I had contacted him through one of his post in ForHire Subreddit two weeks ago. I am attaching the screenrecording of the conversation, to understand what the "work" is. (I tried to screenshot the entire conversation but I was unable to)
When I tried to talk about payment, he blocked me.
Not a big loss because I did not give too many hours but just a heads up to others. Also check his post and comment history, I could not understand much because it was in a language I do not understand.
this is my alt account and I was talking to him with him with my main account u/GrSrv

other people also had similar experiences with him, see this thread:

Working with Steven Smith (fichizzel@yahoo.com) on a t-shirt design was a rollercoaster of frustration.
Despite following his instructions and pouring hours into digitally hand-drawing his vision, he somehow found fault. His feedback was vague and inconsistent, making it impossible to please him. And then, to add insult to injury, he accused the design of looking like it was churned out by AI, completely disregarding the effort and care put into it.
He not only failed to recognize the effort spent on the project but also ghosted after expressing his dissatisfaction. I suggest that other designers seriously reconsider before collaborating with him.
I want to say that I worked with the fellow for a session and they were thoughtful and helpful. For the price they are charging and the amount of time they offer I can say that if you are looking for an experienced hypnotist this person is a good choice. I can't attest to their NSFW credentials but if they are as well thought out as his sfw stuff I'm sure they will be enjoyable.
If you want to give hypnosis a shot give u/paradoxicorder88 a shot too.
Im planning to start a web dev agency and to get that credibility going I needed some testimonials. Im thinking of creating a few websites for free for the first couple of clients. What do you think about this idea? What are some outreach methods i can use to get this done?

I cannot say enough good things about u/RyanReyknowlds. He is an amazing creator. I have commissioned him to do extremely complex, detailed work and he has far exceeded my expectations. His attention to detail is first rate, his communication fantastic and the quality of his work has to be seen to be believed. I hope he lives forever and I can collaborate with him for years to come. He is SO great!
I didn't want to believe it because all the signs pointed towards this being a positive interaction, but u/CodeMaestro13 is scamming a lot of people on r/forhire, including me. Posted up a request for a software dev to help port some open source software on GitHub over to another windows platform. This person reached out to me a day or so later telling me he could do it for my budget. Looked through all of his posts on Reddit and everything looked to be on the up and up (prior to all of the posts on here of course). Been a member of the community for a few months, had some positive interactions with other people in the community and seemed knowledgeable. Even responded to some negative feedback on here and looks like he tried to make things right. So, I decided to take him up on his offer.
First he looks through the code and asks if I could increase my budget by double the price. Told him I couldn't do that but came up with a compromise of an extra $100 on top of the only money in my budget that I had. Wanted to be paid by CashApp. Should have been my first and ONLY major red flag, but I still stuck to my guns hoping for the best. That brings us to today where he says that he wants the last 50% of the budget to deliver the final code before we get to testing. I ask him if I can see what he did first and that I would gladly send him the rest of the money. He said he didn't feel comfortable with it and instead wanted the full amount as he was going to give me a few extra hours of his time for free to test and refine the software. That should have been another major warning sign....but again...I didn't listen to it. This dude took me for $100 more than I had to spend on the project and then ghosted a few hours later.
Moral of the story; stay FAR FAR AWAY from u/CodeMaestro13 on this platform. Talks a big game but doesn't deliver. I doubt it's permitted on this board, but I tried looking up the real name of the account he used on CashApp and I came up with some pretty inconclusive results. Filed a scammer report to CashApp and they immediately respond back to me saying that they're "not ghosting me" and says they're running into issues and doesn't know how long they'll take. Sure...ok. The next day they completely stopped responding to any of my messages. Anyways, hope they enjoy the money because clearly they needed it a hell of a lot more than I did. Doubt I'll see any of my money back from CashApp.
That said, I'm still looking for a software dev that might be able to help here and maybe work out a trade or is willing to offer some advice to help see this project over the finish line.
TL;DR: STAY FAR FAR AWAY FROM /u/CodeMaestro13
Recently got a full commission from this artist Flygohr of a character from league of legends and they did a phenomenal job with fast turn over. thank you again Flyhohr!
He helped me improve my dropshipping store and gave me lots of life lessons he is a very good dude and will definitely help you with anything you need. Eternally grateful for his help and support🙏🏽
u/CodeMaestro13 can talk the talk, thats for sure. The ONLY reason I went with him is because the task I had is technical and not something as simple as just getting a web developer, for instance.
Initially, the solution he provided was NOT what we asked him for and we made it clear, yet he still provided it anyway and tried to claim that it counts as "work"
Not only was he rude, he provided a solution that does not work as intended without refinement / explanation, and was in a rush to get this out to me. When I asked him to make a video to actually show me it works, he declined and sent over the code, then demanding payment without giving me the chance to actually test it first.
Now I have code that I cannot use, and he is not responding and has decided to ghost messages. Further action will be taken, and all the proof can be shown in case this fool tries to lie. However, do not work with this member. His account is new, and I doubt this guy is even a seasoned developer.
Job was for 1 design for some design work Provided an initial version, but was told it was too similar to another design he had commissioned I was happy to provide two rounds of revisions, but was ghosted after the second round with no payment
ProductiveProgrammer executed a couple of tasks for me.
Would highly recommend to accept his $bids.
I hired Ren to make a trailer to help promote the Kickstarter campaign for my first comic, When We Transform. When I started looking for someone to make a trailer, I had assumed it would just be a basic video featuring some of the comic pages along with music and voice-over. But u/digitalren exceeded all expectation! The trailer they made at a VERY reasonable price included animations, sounds effects, and a nice final image pointing viewers to the Kickstarter. If you’re looking for a similar service, check them out on http://www.artbyren.com/
To see how they did with my trailer, you can see the end result below:

I recently had the pleasure of working with u/Antony_vintage for a photo restoration project, and I couldn't be happier with the results. They took an old family photo from the early 1900s and transformed it into a stunning image that looks like it was taken today.
The attention to detail and the care they put into the restoration were remarkable. Every crease, fade, and blemish was meticulously addressed, bringing new life to a cherished memory. The final product exceeded my expectations, and it's something my family and I will treasure for years to come.
If you're looking for someone to restore your precious photos, I highly recommend u/Antony_vintage. Their skill and dedication are truly impressive, and I'm grateful for the incredible work they did on my photo.
Chinese company. [Check out the trustpilot reviews first](https://i.postimg.cc/Bvwk1qGx/Appen-truspilot.jpg). He's a Redditor, via China, on r/forhire, for one hour. ('They earn money if you sign up through their referral link').
Fun, short term project, where appen.com get to own and use your image/likeness in perpetuity.
He did an amazing job, and did it super fast. Was very responsive and revised the final logo multiple times free of charge.
