Top Rated Seller Features?

[miiila]

I can tell you a really useful thing becoming a forum regular member entails, you get more hearts for likes, so it´s not that easy to run out of them…still possible, though… 👀

[gig_freak]

If Fiverr decides to feature your profile on their blog and ask you to write about yourself and your successful story, then you’ll become a super seller… but nobody knows the exact limit of money you should be reaching to be featured on the blog, or even if there’s some other criteria…

I think that you should have an inspirational story on how fiverr helped you.

[woofy31]

There is no SEO expert that is fiverr ambassador, so you might get in the program.

I am not sure about the super seller. I am selling for three years, I have a lot of reviews, but I never got top rated. I guess it’s because my services aren’t unique or that I don’t use videos for promoting.

Other super sellers I know of do have videos, but their gigs aren’t unique, because there are so many kinds of gigs out there that it’s become impossible to be unique anymore, especially when copycats immediately duplicate our gigs 😛

Yeah, that’s right. I hope that in near future, that “Top Rated Seller” badge is going to come to me, or at least someday.

@miiila - I’m fighting my way up the forum trust levels just for the sake of getting more hearts LOL. I’m just kidding.

I actually have that great feeling when I am able to help someone or give someone a good advice. I’ve always loved teaching people, educating them… and for some reason, when I help someone else I feel that I also help myself in some mysterious way.

@gig_freak everyone has an inspirational story, because we’re humans, we’re made to inspire other people through our actions and daily choices, all of which make us unique and face unique challenges & stories 🙂 so I don’t think it’s such a good criteria for becoming a super seller

@gig_freak I checked the ambassador’s link you shared - do you know what I saw they all have in common that I cannot share? They’ve all met in person… and unfortunately I can’t travel to another country or even another continent 😦

@woofy31 did you just log on one day and find yourself ranked up to on TRS? And on the subject, can you remember how long you’d been on Fiverr and how many sales you’d made/what your total income was?

Hmm… good questions, but I just realized my memory isn’t as fresh as it once used to be. So, let’s see… I joined over 7 years ago, very quickly after Fiverr was created (gosh I miss that old fun site design with the funny looking sheep on hills)…

I do remember that sales started coming in relatively quickly (within the first or second month after joining). I know I’ve researched the gigs currently being offered at that time, and I hadn’t seen a single “seo report” gig… so I was probably one of the first ones to create a SEO report gig (probably not the very first, as my research probably wasn’t that spectacular), and I was amazed that people needed such a service (I always thought every site owner knows their stuff and their site’s SEO issues, but I was wrong, very wrong, which has benefitted me a lot)

Now let’s open the Excel spreadsheet with all my sales since day 0. So, sales started increasing from $80 in the first earning month, and reached $400 by the end of 2010.

The second year sales increased even more, doubling to a max peak of $850. And at the start of 2012 I reached $1K, and I think that was about the time when I became a TRS (there were no previous level 0/1/2 in that time, only TRS or no-TRS), and I remember I received an email being promoted to TRS, and I’ve remained like that ever since 🙂 My culminating year was 2015 when I made A LOT of sales, after which something happened (I don’t know what) and everything started going down and still going down today, with some months being lower than back in 2010 😦

P.S. and don’t even get me started on the bad stuff… I wasn’t aware of the rules at first, I promoted a new gig to some previous sellers and got my account suspended after they reported me, but regained it (Fiverr was all about second chances, don’t know how it is today though), someone hacked my account and stole $200 from me, which I never recovered 😦

Yeah, you are probably right maybe you should get on the meetups in order to become an Ambassador. They might have something close to Romania but I don’t believe. Usually all of the meetups are in London/NYC.

I don’t have an idea about the Super Sellers, maybe there is something extra to choosing them. I thought they needed to have inspirational stories.

I’m out of likes still but thanks a lot for the insight. I hope I manage to get to TRS someday. I’m kind of pessimistic about how long it would take starting on this account from when I did.

Is it worth keeping an excel spreadsheet of earnings? And in what way would it come into use?

I also feel like I remember that Fiverr image. I must have been around at some point when it was made. I bought something off of Fiverr in 2011-2012, before I’d considered selling, so it must have been from around that time. Time goes far too quickly 😦

[i’ve added a new image to my previous post, maybe that helps you recall your first purchases 😛 ]

Also, if you become a TRS, that doesn’t give you any guarantees that you’ll earn more money. That depends entirely on you, your gigs and so many other factors. Even as a TRS, after 2015 my sales started going down and now I have months when I make less than in 2010 when I wasn’t a TRS.

As for Excel spreadsheets, I kept them because Fiverr wasn’t having revenue reports like it does now, and I made a spreadsheet for every year ever since my first day to keep track of everything I do, in case I’ll need something as proof for CS (I always think that it’s better to log everything and be safe than sorry in case something unforeseen comes up).

In my spreadsheets I always log the amount of daily sales which in turn automatically computes the daily earnings and converts them to my local currency, I log all cancellations and their reasons, I log all previous bad buyers who gave me a hard time, and I log info on each and every order including details provided by the buyer, order number, order amount, etc. (I’ve done this daily for the last 7 years, Excel basically hates me by now!)

That’s dedication. Too much for me to comprehend, and it kinda hurts my head

Hmm, I don’t think I should be telling this.

[matevzs1]

I would like to have one too 😄 I have pretty long way to becoming TRS, but well… one day… 😛

Why would that be a secret? - well, thanks for info, I saw it fast enough 😛

[fonthaunt]

But wouldn’t you then want a 3-day clearance period as well? haha 😛

Anyway, I bet you’ll be a TRS before they even change that thing 😛

P.S. there are already 2 new levels, didn’t you know? They are hidden though: one is the SuperSeller who is promoted on the Fiverr blog, and the other super ultra level is the Fiverr Ambassador, which are a few and I’m happy to be knowing one, who totally deserved being all these 2 hidden levels! To become a superseller, you have to get over a certain limit of money making and become a metahuman, become that millionaire you’re speaking of 😛 as for ambassadors, I think you have to also go to those Fiverr meetups

cleara

The 7 day clearance period for TRS wasn’t in effect when they first created that level. Maybe it wasn’t added to the levels page since they added that feature later on. It isn’t a secret though, it’s mentioned in the help files:

https://support.fiverr.com/hc/en-us/articles/204074666-Viewing-Your-Revenue

There are a lot of things on Fiverr that are “quiet” but not secret and I’m sure I don’t know all of them. Some of them come and go, like the “Rising Star” program that I think might be gone now. Super Seller is a bit mysterious since most of them make a large sum annually but not all of them. The Success Manager program was never boldly announced to everyone, but it exists. Fiverr seems to try things out. I guess that some stick and some don’t. 🙂

@woofy31 If I may ask… I understand all other features of TRS, but what does account manager do for you?

Thanks for answer!

Account managers are part of a program to help some hand-chosen promising sellers to achieve greater success. Each relationship between a seller and an account manager seems to be a bit different, so if you want more info than that, just ask Customer Support. That way you don’t have to put poor Woofy or anyone else on the hook. 😛

Haha! Awesome indeed!

OK, well, if account managers are not a secret, here’s my take on this feature:

An account manager is a Fiverr person who gets assigned to your account, a person who talks to you and helps you when you’re dealing with Fiverr-related problems, a person who you can see as your friend, who helps you get back on track in bad times by giving you a lot of advice and helping you remain successful… it’s kind of like your Fiverr buddy 🙂 at least that’s how I see it. @trishafor5 FTW!

[Guest parradesigns]

In all honesty, I’m fine with the 14 day period. The delay between doing the work and getting the money for it almost makes me feel like I’m earning the money for free when it does come through, because the work I did is so distant by that point 😂

[momnaikram970]

The advantages are always mentioned below when you get your level up!

[woofy31]

@woofy31 Awww, shucks. Now I’m blushing!

Haha! Blushing is good for your skin’s health, it pumps the blood into your cheeks and such. Not that you’d need it, your skin is smooth’n’purrfffect as it is 😛

Also note you get an account manager these days long before you are a TRS. They are also known as “Success Coaches”.

They are a point of contact inside Fiverr who can see your account. They make suggestions, and if you have an issue or question, they can provide some insights because they see some of the more successful people in your category.

They invite sellers who are growing fastest in their categories, but it’s “they pick you”, not something anybody gets by asking for it.
