steveeyes Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Fiverr Pro is in it’s infant stage making it is hard to know where it will go at this moment. But for the fun of it, I thought I would make a connection to google’s adwords.i use to run a mom and pop site that did quite well. Beside word of mouth, google’s adwords was our main vehicle for advertising. It was simple to use and if you needed help you could call and discuss. Over time, adwords started to change. It became more comlex to use and eventually they did away with phone support except for certain accounts. Those certain accounts that got phone support was based on the revenue they spent for advertising with google. Eventually, for sites my size, even getting email support was tough. If I heard from support at all it would be days even weeks.Many of us felt we were being pushed aside by google for larger and more corporate type of sites. Next stop, facebook advertising.I don’t work at the site anymore and I’m going back 8 years, so if things changed at Adwords since then I’m not aware of it. But at the time, it eventually felt like google adwords was catering to a certain type of client and our small mom and pop site didn’t fit the mold. They didn’t kick us out, but putting up road blocks and giving less support made it tougher to survive.I hope Fiverr doesn’t go this route. But I do wonder what will happen if Fiverr Pro takes off. Will priorities at Fiverr change? Probably.In the business world they say you are only as good as your last sale – meaning it doesn’t matter how many sales you had previously, only the last one counts.For us Facebook advertising was a good alternate that worked well when google adwords wasn’t a good fit. Not sure if such a place exists if Fiverr doesn’t work out for some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure if I am allowed to mention the clients here.when I sent my form I had proof of quality top_tier work for a major brand, and the links I provided were not from my YT or Vimeo channel, they were actual links to the brand’s social media page, where my videos were used as paid ads.I have no clue as to how they select candidates, I am simply trying to share what happened in my case, so that maybe I can help more people understand the process or how to increase possibility of selection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silberma1976 Posted July 5, 2017 Author Share Posted July 5, 2017 I may not have filled out the form to perfection. There were no options to give them more detail in a paragraph form. I may not have provided the right links. I write reguraly for the Fiverr acadamery and blog. I have three online courses I develop and teach for the top company in my industry. I write for their blog too.I have written curriculum and for other national publications for my field as a Teacher I have over 900 positive reviews and am involved in the Fiverr DC community as a co founder.Most of my work here on Fiverr has been small companies, so I can not point to their work as major examples, although I understand why it matters. I can not boast a major social media presence aside from 2500 connections on my professional LinkedIn profile.I guess being a specific pro in my field and my contributions to Fiverr are not enough or I did not represent them well enough. I am just miffed to get an automated response with no further opportunity to communicate.I know this is new, and what form it will take is not yet known. I am hopeful I can reapply later. Right now, I am a little upset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing Fiverr is looking are influential people that sell themselves.You keep forgetting quality vs quantity. Fiverr needed big ticket items. In order to get those, they needed sellers that have:-sold high priced orders in the past(I am talking about single orders over $1k -again my own assumption, not confirmed by Fiverr)-a convincing high-quality portfolio(Something that Fiverr staff saw and their eyballs changed to dollar signs)Now I know what you’re gonna say:"But what anout those new sellers?“Or"But Frank those Pro sellers have an average looking gig”Well I don’t know how Fiverra actually vetted all sellers. Let’s say that the process was far from perfect.But I am talking about what Fiverr needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
