emmaki Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Being rude for absolutely no reason makes an individual looks small.It’s not being rude: the traffic comes to Fiverr–it’s your responsibility to make the most of the opportunity here instead of demanding that you have your profile’s visibility increased over everyone else because you’ve been on here for a number of years.That’s just entitled. Which is a great characteristic of the small individual, come to think of it. Anyway–don’t be so sad, at least someone bothered to respond to your post!

My impressions, clicks and views are down from last month, and I am having my best month ever. My orders are up, the average price on each one is up.Why is that? My repeat clients continue to order, because they are getting great value. Fiverr is showing me less (probably more competition in my VO category) but I’m marketing outside of Fiverr AND making sure my current clients are happy.How long I’ve been around isn’t the deciding factor and Fiverr doesn’t owe me any business, although I’ll take all they send me. (They usually show you more if you’ve had recent activity.)Your last delivery was 21 days ago… You may have to find some people outside of Fiverr to buy a few gigs from you. There must be someone who needs your services… A wide world of marketing open to you (Facebook, Twitter, businesses in your area… and a hundred more…)Sometimes you have to prime the pump yourself. When Fiverr sees you’re bringing customers (even a few), they will show you more…Not their job to promote you, and unlikely it will improve when there are new people joining in similar categories each month. WE have to do our own marketing/outreach to keep things moving at points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emmaki Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 One can express reality without being rudeBut here is the reality: it is contingent on YOU doing things to get customers in. Instead, we’re all on here arguing about rudeness, which isn’t going to get any of us buyers now is it?The reality is you haven’t sold for 3 weeks. Why has it taken you three weeks to decide that demanding a better placement on Fiverr is a solution to your ills? That’s the perceived reality here–and getting down to brass tacks on what’s rude and what’s not is ultimately not helping anyone. Least of all you. Did you come here for positive cheerleading? How does that change anything except giving your feel goods the feel goods? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve been in the top 5 female VO artists for the last 6 months (by “Ave Customer Review”).That means little for next month unless I keep delivering, doing some of my own marketing, and finding ways to deliver more value to my current clients.Last month is over. How do we get better for next month is one of the questions we all face over time, and something I think about regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we get better for next month is one of the questions we all face over time, and something I think about regularly.I do understand that for each category it is different in that someone who is doing graphics and designs might be able to get more clients than someone who is doing transcription because it might be more competitive in transcription with as you mentioned a lot of new talents coming on. For someone like myself who maintains a 99% positive rating it is still very competitive. However, I am not complaining and not looking for special favors.

If you do not know how to be a positive person please do not respond to my conversation.Now who’s being rude? Ignoring me, accusing me of having a mental breakdown… really, Jamat. I’m simply asking what you have done to rectify your situation other than asking a platform to promote you among others because you’re not getting the exposure you desire. Indeed, my original post simply states that “want doesn’t get”, and that you would need to market more.The exact same point being made by others. As this is an open and public forum, I am as free to air my thoughts are as you are yours. If you would prefer only a specific kind of comment, I suggest opening a private post and inviting like-minded people to discuss the issue with you there.You are not being very positive yourself, either. Let’s not forget that this is a negative post about your negative situation in Fiverr Site Suggestions. I, along with others, am showing you the reality.

miroslavglavic Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Emma is not being rude, she is bluntly honest. Why should Fiverr help you over let’s say @emmaki ? Why should Fiverr help you out for audio transcript gigs over hundreds of other Fiverr sellers with the same gigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misscrystal Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Hello,What all this is about is emmaki in her usual way is actually encouraging you to do some things to improve your chances of success on fiverr. It is “tough talk” to get you to do some work.Most of us cannot coast along hoping to get lots of impressions and our gigs do disappear unless we work on them and promote them somehow.
